Both Lowe's and Home Depot stayed better stocked over the past year than I've seen in years. It wasn't just their normal inventory, either. Stuff I've never been able to find at Lowe's started showing up, like untreated 4×4s. Stuff they usually only carried some of was stacked to the rafters.
Aren't you in LC? They did keep stock here decently but there were still a lot of shortages on many things. The new stuff you are speaking of is due to their corporate office seeing what people were special ordering to repair their homes so they decided to add it to their inventory.

Well, that project goes to the back of the list
That’s insane

I'm not. I'm actually shopping around anyway and Anderson has been asking us to come on board as certified installers. I may do it to see if I can get a discount.

lead times are crazy across the board. I am in electrical distribution and here is a list of items that I should never be out of that I am having trouble sourcing in a timely manner:
plastic nail on boxes - vendors are allocating to distributors, and demand is far exceeding what they give me. 2 gang and round nail ons are the hardest to get right now
PVC conduit - if backordered, 12-14 week lead times
receptacles and GFI's- even when my vendors have them in stock, they are coming from either Dallas, Charlotte or Memphis, none of which can get trucks to pick things up. I am getting tracking numbers for things that have "shipped" that don't go live for 7-10 days
meter power panels- have had some on order since February, still waiting. Seems to be a component issue, because Milbank, Eaton, Square D and Siemens are all having troubles getting these out of the door
320a and underground meter pans- same as above, have had on order since March
add on top of that, anything with steel in it is being sold priced at the time of shipment and not the time of order, so I can't even take special orders on a lot of things without artificially inflating the price just to cover my arse if they don't have it in stock. Prices on everything have been going up at a rate I have never seen before. I have had to raise PVC fittings prices every month for the last year at a clip of 10-20% EVERY MONTH. They used to go up once a year.

We’ve been soliciting quotes for 29 windows for our house. $19k on the low-end, $40k on the high-end. We’ve had lead times of 10 weeks to 6 months.

Windows are different than lumber.
But yes, everything for our projects has increased lead tiems.
