I am working on a little home project and went to pick up some building supplies....Since when did sheetrock cost so much? I finished off a basement in a previous house about 10 years ago and recall the price being something like 3.99/sheet....I picked up a few 1/2" 4X8 sheets and they were 13 bucks each...OK I am on the vineyard I expect a 15% markeup but that is insane. I called a couple places on the mainland and the prices went from 11-12.

Then I picked up 3 4X8 sheets of 3/4" birch ply wood...76 bucks each. WTF? for plywood jezzzzzzzzzz.
