It is their own stuff (Valmont) as far as the steel stuff goes. They own
massive galvanization plants which gives them a pretty good advantage cost
wise.

Is sitepro stuff all their own stuff or are they resale? Can they carry McCown
tech goods? Or do they require massive volume? IIRC they are shipping rapists
though

Streakwave is pretty much the only distributor that has significant
quantities of steel stuff on their shelf. Everyone else tries to drop ship and
that only works if I happen to have stock. Usually I have to build the drop
ship orders which is a minimum of 2 weeks and can be as much as 8 weeks. I
offer to virtual warehouse and fulfill for them but none of the rest want to
use that option. All of our stuff is modular so we do large quantities of the
common parts.

Woof. Hopefully they come in soon.
In our case we don't bother with the MTOW6 any more. The MTOW10 is
better functionally and I think the same price, or at least close enough that
it makes no sense for us to stock two sizes.
2/3/4 Pipes I think make sense, but I've done exclusively, or nearly, 2
foot pipes.

Right but when it's 6 weeks short? How can you simply not have stock
for so long. And it seems like no one has them now, so how long is the build
from order to ship?

It isn’t rocket surgery to keep track of your run rates and look
for trends. But inventory is cash sitting on the shelf. I do understand.
But I am still going to keep building to order rather than to
forecast.

I saw that some doctor was saying that politicizing face masks was
like politicizing toilet paper.
Maybe that’s your answer. Convince half the people to refuse to
use TP. Then there will be plenty for us.
My local grocery store has an entire aisle of the Northern Quilted
3-ply Ultra Plush, it’s like Kleenex for your butt. Except they are all the
Maxi rolls. I need someone to use half of each roll and then send them to me.
Those giant rolls are like the rolls of paper you see on newspaper printing
presses. I have to set them on the vanity top because they don’t fit in the
roll holder on the wall, and with all the hand washing we’re supposed to be
doing, you risk a full roll of toilet paper getting wet.
I suppose I could mount an M-TOW to the wall as a toilet paper roll
holder. Except everybody’s out of M-TOWs. (actually I saw a couple on eBay.
Regular M-TOWs, not the P version.)

Ive been getting my TP at a janitorial supply here in town through
this whole thing, 48 rolls at a time, cheaper than walmart, really soft without
leaving any furballs. Theyve had that, sanitizer, masks, etc throughout. People
are weird. Imma cut some people when i find out whose been buying up all the
pork ramen noodles though.
Rice never loses any nutrient or taste as long as it stays dry,
honey, sugar, salt are the same, theres 2 other things I dont remember. beans
do something with their protein but still last a long time. I keep 20lbs rice
for each person in the house packed in 2 cup packages in sealed buckets. If
anybody happens to see me toting yellow buckets really quick, id recomend
running for the hills. Morton pool salt is a good salt to store, its washed
salt so theres no debris, pure salt and msds foodsafe.
If it hit the fan, MTOWs would be pretty versatile building
components for many parts of the necessary trebuchets, but we wont be able to
scavenge them from vendor warehouses since they arent there

Most of the shortages seem to have abated. Still hard to find
toilet paper
if you don't want the MEGA rolls (because they don't fit on your
holders).
The most persistent shortage seems to be canned fruit. I'm
thinking it's
actually the cans that are in short supply, not the fruit.
Although you'd
think all the fruit would be canned in late summer or fall and
then
warehoused.
Supposedly white rice and dried beans are good basically forever,
no matter
what the expiration date may say.
