[AT] Lumber prices

[Ken Knierim]

I'm told that with low interest rates, there are a number of folks moving
out of apartments into houses. Of course they're also building apartments
like mad around here and there seems to be a never-ending influx of
Californians.
A lot of backfill on tiny areas passed over on the original development
with a lot of the houses aren't big enough to change your mind inside but I
guess that's (slightly) better than apartment living.

Trying to hire sentient workers isn't easy either so quality is suspect as
well.
