il_serpente Posted June 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2021 8 hours ago, Davkaus said: It's probably hard to say how much is brexit and how much is covid, there seem to be shortages and/or substantial price hikes of quite a few items I've been looking to buy though, from various electronics to DIY kit. Probably mostly Covid. Raw materials are going up like crazy everywhere. Price of lumber for building in the US has gone up something like 300%. Step-relatives were about to buy an empty lot where a house burned down in the wildfires 3 years ago and build a house on it. The estimate for the house now is 80% higher than what it was 6 months ago. Luckily for them, someone snatched the lot out from under them, as they would not have been able to afford building on it.

The weather and scarcity of materials means its been going on since early May. Its probably got a couple of weeks left on the job now. Thank god its not a day rate and its for the whole job. I did mine last year myself. All cost about 2k in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years back I did one in my old house, it was fair and very cheap. This time my wife wants one that looks a little more professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of our friends are effectively 'mine' - the blokes are all my old mates, but all the wives get along really well anyway. My missus only has the one regular mate that she know from work days, and she's fine. There is this one old mate of mine whose missus is a total pain, but we hardly ever see them. Basically, we almost never have to socialise with anybody we don't like. Edited June 8, 2021 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some younger more nubile ones would go down a treat, I think I relate more to those types as i class myself as quite young minded and would be happier attending the gatherings, At least until the inevitable ‘misunderstanding’ down the line that is Edited June 8, 2021 by Follyfoot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
