I just, well a little while ago, got my car back from my mechanic (oil change) and he told me he inflated the tires. Seems they were a wee bit low.
I recently had an oil change also my tires were fine. No inflation required! 😉

As we all know everything is going to go up.

Some are going to have a hard time trying to make ends meet for sure.

We who can should help where we can.

Everything will go up in price when the world opens up but if people just wait the prices will go back down.

my guess is lumber
there is a lot of rebuilding that needs to be done
A thing that I find fascinating about Americans is that you all build your houses out of wood.

Why is that?

It can't have anything to do with cost as you say yourself lumber is expensive.

Then a hurricane comes and turns your house into matchsticks.

Why don't you build your house out of concrete like we do?

You build your houses out of “concrete”?

Sounds cold and damp.

Lumber isn't expensive.
The original post was making a joke about Texas having to burn wood to keep warm.

... because he is a child.

Most houses built here pre world war 2 are pre cast concrete. Modern houses are bricks and mortar with plastering over that and some are pebble dashed.

Wood is only used for windows and floors.

A lot of modern dwellings now use PVC for windows.

We used to be stuck with only white but now you can have your windows and front door any colour you want.

Will be interesting to see what happens during the summer and if they keep the needing a test to enter/return and during quarantine. When they abolish all that rubbish I’d imagine flights and hotels won’t be expensive as they’ll be desperate to get people back and I assume people will want to get away when possible.

I have 2 weeks in Greece booked for the end of June which are held over from last summer.

I called the holiday firm to move the dates back a couple of weeks and unusually they had loads of availability. When they told me the new price I realised why, the holiday has gone up 75% since what I booked it at in early 2020.
