They have some in stock now but prices are way up. I have wood fence to put up but it'll wait.

My neighbor Will ( who laid out the stair stringers) said when they quote a job, the lumber price is for THAT DAY and subject to change. When they do decks, they get all material before starting the job.
I wanted to get all my lumber from the lumber yard since they only sell very good quality. At least the hard to get to pieces are the better quality lumber. The stair steps will be easy to replace
