I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum.
Has anyone got an idea of how bad material prices are going to rise due to hurricane Katrina? I feel bad for those in the affected areas and hate to ask this question but this tragedy is certainly going to affect our industry. We are in North Carolina and 7/16 O.S.B. has gone up $6.00 in four days and the lumber yards are putting limits on how much one builder can buy in a day. I am estimating a new house right now and really don't want to get burned by an outrageous hike in material prices.
