| Record lumber prices adding thousands of dollars to new home building costs |

The latest price list from research firm Random Lengths released Thursday shows SPF (spruce, pine, fir), two-by-four boards, at a "mindboggling" record level of $760 US per thousand board feet, up $82 on the week, according to Kevin Mason, managing director of ERA Forest Products Research.
Homebuilders say increases this year to date will translate into $8,000 to $10,000 more to build a typical single-family house in Canada.
