Unpopular opinion: The new composite decking is getting too expensive for what it is.

Three years ago I could get a good 16-foot board for under $40 at the local yard. Last month, the same stuff was pushing $70. It's nice, but at that price I'm starting to push clients back toward cedar again. Anyone else seeing this in their area?

My local yard's price list looks like a bad joke from a lumber-themed horror movie.

Lumber-themed horror movie" sounds about right for my last trip there too.

Honestly, it's gotten brutal out there. Solidarity.

Lumber-themed horror movie" hit way too close to home. I actually laughed out loud at that one, then got sad because it's true.
