Wood has gone up insanely! This is Finland - all there is are trees and water, as well as mills to process them - still, wood has skyrocketed.
How are working parents supposed to deal with that, impossible.
It isn't easy and it isn't really that acceptable to the workplace, though in Finland it is good in this area.
Crap, I guess it's all over the place. I am so sheltered where I live now, but my oldest son runs a wood business, he builds custom cabinetry from our lumber that gets milled on our farm. Not all of it of course, he also does custom kitchens and bathrooms, that's where the money is. But my hubby really taught my boys right, they all can build. But so many here in the states have said "not this year", just too expensive". My sons agree, the lumber prices have gone nuts, just for basic framing material, people just can't afford it. WTF
Hope you are well, next time crypto hits a high note, which it will, take a draft, 5%.
