Great to find it hard to pay the price.

I have used 7/16 OSB for several decades in various stages of building construction, and it has some advantages over the alternative, which is 1/2 inch CDX plywood. Those are basically uniformity, consistency, and the fact that it is a forest product that uses almost any size tree, not just the big old trees that are disappearing. My main reason for using it is this environmental factor. However, in just the span of a few years, this product is now 10 times the cost that it once was. That’s right, as of this writing a ten-fold increase in price. At this price most housing projects are now unaffordable, and other sheathing products and lumber products are similarly sky-high. This is what partly drives a housing crisis and price bubble. I have been in the construction business for 45 years, and have always built to the highest of standards, and would not change that philosophy, but now is the time for options. Find used materials whenever possible. Reduce the size and consider smaller homes, tiny homes, and shared accommodations. Make what you have now work better by eliminating the need for so much space. Downsize, eliminate clutter, get rid of stuff, only purchase items that you really, really need and will last a long time. Smaller spaces are cheaper to heat and cool, less for taxes and insurance, and less maintenance. This has the benefit of giving you extra time with less shopping, less work required, less time and money needed for disposal. All better for the planet and your wallet.
