just stop getting things done if it carries on
at this rate

If you don’t have the money or can’t borrow it you can’t tho extending your home now won’t put the value which it costs to even do it on your house if you have to pay someone to do it

Copper has near doubled in price in 12 months but the rest of that comment I'd take with a pinch of salt.
We’re paying near double for Timber at the mo 18 months ago we were paying £1.25 for 4/2 now it’s near £2.40 a meter things have gone up a fair bit not everything but a lot of stuff has and the quality is of gear is s**t

Apparently the wholesale price of timber has come down considerably, as expected it's just not being passed on.
