Slightly off-topic, but I talked to a guy that builds houses on the side of his regular job (electrical utility lineman). This was about 3-4 weeks back. At that time, he said plywood had jumped $5 a sheet.

Also, my transformer had blown and needed replacing. I was lucky. My utility is down to 25 transformers left for a 50 x 70 mile service area (mostly rural) for the rest of teh year. Everything else went south. It would suck to lose a transformer in Iowa in December and be told the utility has nothing left.

Kyvette, I'm probably better off than most should something happen to my transformer this winter. My house is wired up for a generator. I don't own one, but could buy one and have it running quickly should the need arise. All of the connecting breakers and such are ready so all I would need is a generator and fuel for it. Man, I'd hate to have to foot that fuel bill...

If it's not going up due to demand, it'll go up due to the cost of transportation. Has anyone seen the cost of diesel fuel lately? Crap!! Gas here is down to $2.29, but diesel is climbing and has passed $3.15 a gallon. I'll have to park my diesel pickup soon. Local station has a $75 cap on fuel purchase at the non-semi rig pumps. I can't fill my F-250 for $75.
