I work in Code Enforcement the cost of framing lumber has more than doubled but the bigger issue is the quality as it twists, warps and splits so bad to the point that’s its unusable, put a moisture meter on a 2x6 stud yesterday on a construction site and it was 18%, they’re all cut from the very center of the tree. Having said that there a building and home buying boom going on here and I don’t understand where the folks are getting all that money from unless it’s those transitioning from the richer metropolitan areas.
I’m selling my Lake front home soon and plan to capitalize (sorry all you socialists) on the situation.

Yes air dry average year per inch. pre-drying and Kiln drying approx. 30 days on average. Thanks for your input. Kind Regards, Timothy J.

You would be asking for all sorts of problems buying timber from a store that had not been properly dried to somewhere around 15% moisture content. Just the same as you wouldn't burn fresh felled firewood.
