'It's the worst I've ever seen it'; price of building materials soars due to shortage

HALIFAX --
Deverne Kaiser has been working in the building supplies industry for 45 years.
These days, you’ll find him at Taylor Timber Mart in Musquodoboit Harbour, N. S. working as a project estimator.
Kaiser says the demand for materials is outstripping the supply.
“Doors, mouldings, drywall right now is in short supply,” he explains. “Things that we’ve never seen before on a regular basis. This is the worst I’ve ever seen it.”
He says a lot of factors are to blame for the shortage.
“The freeze up in Texas, the storms on the East Coast, the flooding in the Mid West, all that combined, and of course the pandemic,” he says.
