Lumber’s price tags bring good, bad news By JEANIE SENIOR, Portland Tribune, OR
“I was thinking of building a deck,” grumbled one Southeast Portland homeowner after visiting several lumberyards. “But I decided it was too damned expensive.”
He quoted the best price he could put together for the project: a 16-by-24-foot deck would have cost about $2.50 a square foot, or $1,400. “Screw that,” he said. “I bought office furniture from Pottery Barn and will try to do the deck in the spring.”------------------------------------------- posted 7:48 AM :: reference link ::
