Jerry, we use Metrie products in all our homes. All the mill-work suppliers that I have used over the years use and supply Metrie products to the Home Builders in Washington State. So thank you for the molding profiles.

Thanks again,

Jeff K

 

PS: Our mill-work supplier passed on a letter from Metrie moldings explaining why we are getting a 15% increase on April 1st. The US and Canada have not renewed an agreement for importing softwoods over the border due to a lawsuit brought on buy the Union Employees of the Softwood Mills in the US.

Our lumber market has been very volatile since the end of January and prices have gone up 10%. According to our lumber supplier the US and Canada are meeting April 24th. We have been told to expect new tariffs of 30% (old tariffs were 17%)  that would be retro active back to January 1st of this year. The Distributors of softwood products in the US would have to pay the back tariffs which would temporarily cause softwood prices to increase sharply until the distributors to recoup their money.

The US needs to ease restrictions on private land allowing them to cut more wood per year. They also need to allow for "thinning" of timber on public lands which would help reduce the spread of wildfires.
