Guess I'm using pressure treated 2x6 and OSB chipboard for the roof. Sheesh.

Yup, a 2x4-8' spruce is $8.10 right now!
A year a half ago they were $2.90. I don't know how people are building homes with the price of materials so high but they are. There are whole subdivisions going up all over the place.
