Thanks GT, good to hear from someone who is actually dealing with the price of steel in the now! As my son has told me, he is in the house building arena, that he has to sell a three hundred thousand dollar house for five hundred thousand just to cover material cost. And the game just started!!!

Thanks Joe, that's interesting info.

I got in a discussion with some folks and they didn't believe me when I said the material went up that much...  at my source it has.   
Rant begins...
Here's the rest of my story - I don't have a steel mill in my back yard, in fact, not even within three states so shipping becomes an issue.  We are a bit remote here even though we ship a product for pennies that's an established condition - but it's changing.  We have an interstate that rolls through here but the commerce going out of this area is limited so empty trucks make no money.  What does this do for the cost of goods?  How about the cost for fuel increase that gets it here? How about the drivers and shortage there of...  Now, even though we are rural, we see folks with the same opinion the rest of the country is seeing, not quite the pool to begin with. They can stay home and collect more without having to work so we have an employee shortage and those that do work want more.  We're seeing an influx of folks that move in here because their current employment allows them to work from home so they don't help the issue, in fact because they do work from their homes, they've hurt us.  Housing is an issue, build new? that's an issue- as are the normal goods and services because with the influx there's more demand, what a cycle... the pandemic is a good scapegoat.
  end of rant.
