You probably aren’t going to find a piece of cheap plywood.

Just checked Lowes. $24 for 3/8 4x8. Anyone know how that compares to lets say 6 months to a year ago?

I just picked up some exterior 3/4" plywood a couple of weeks ago at Home despot for I think $38. I distinctly remember paying in the $70-80 range for one during the covid.

Mexican government is holding hundreds of thousands of immigrants in towns just north of the Guatemalan border as part of a deal made with Biden back in December. They will be released after the election.
