Visited the local XL-Bygg today and bought two 45x70 beams (5.4m). Found one straight and the other had a bend in the last meter, but thought it was OK (didn't want to mess up the stack more). The reasonable price for these two beams was 408 SEK, almost 40 SEK/m!

Therefore, I thought I'd amuse myself by finding an even worse example. My contribution will be an OSB board from Beijer, and the challenge to the forum is to surpass it with something even worse.

Can't surpass it.. I almost choked on my breakfast just seeing prices at 350kr per OSB board.

I bought a bunch of OSB in the spring when there was a risk of delivery problems. However, I bought a few too many, so now I have 10 in the garage that are in the way, maybe I should sell them? :surprised:

Wait a bit before you post on blocket and you'll pay off your extension ;). Following your thread and am impressed with the pace, hats off!

Must be a better return on OSB than subscription warrants in Moderna. I bought too many raw edge panels for the roof, so that'll be my pension insurance.

Doesn't have to be OSB, looking for the worst examples of price increases.

It turns out to be 454 SEK/m2, a bit like a decent parquet floor...

In Lkpg, 17mm råspånt still costs under 120kr/m2, I don't see hatches as necessary unless you're going to pay wages to the carpenter and have time and real picka.

Skyrocketing prices are good to keep an eye on (y) But for someone like me who has never in my life so far bought an OSB, for example, it would be interesting if the price that the product usually used to cost is included. Preferably exact figures, but a rough estimate is also sufficient :) I see that someone included a "before" price, but I'm requesting more of them.
