    Due to lack of decent pay. Caused by greed. Eh honestly there’s a million things causing this mess. Truckers are a big part along with other things.

    2022 hopefully will be better? Hah yea right

    Write down each touch point in the making, sale and delivery of those sheets.

    I think research will show every one of those steps has some type of problem. Some larger than others of course, but still.........

    Delayed due to labor.
    Delayed due to glass.
    Delayed due to hardware.

    Windows and doors have become very hard to get. Got a quote last week for 7 interior hollow core pre-hungs from our local lumberyard. 12 weeks. Minimum. For standard 6 panel, 6'8" interior doors. Now I get to try and convince the local building dept to sign off on the CO without any interior doors. lol

    Bathtubs are the same. I’m getting 20 from a different state, I need 58 total. I’m going to have to wait until May, or switch brands. I’ll be switching brands once I find a supplier and get approval from the architect… again.

    If we isolate sea salt to only potato chips. They will likely reduce rust and corrosion, therefore keeping the supply chain in smooth running order.
