The home building slump has created the prefect price conditions for home improvement projects by lowering overall demand for lumber. The result has been a steady decrease in the retail price of lumber that you’ll find at home centers like Lowe’s, Home Depot, 84 Lumber and Menards.
Lumber futures prices have been on a decline since mid 2004 when new home construction slowed with rising interest rates. In some areas, materials produced for new housing is stacking up in lumber yards , dropping prices to the lowest point in five years and forcing many mills to cut production.
If you are planning a home improvament project, now is the time to take advatage of this opportunity.
Green Bay Packer quarterback Brett Favre announced his plans to retire after 17 years. Every Packer fan will miss him. Good luck Brett, now it’s on to Canton!

Word is, Green Bay wants to honor Brett by renaming Ashland Avenue to “Brett Favre Boulevard”. We think “Brett Favre Pass” would be more appropriate.
Thanks 4 the memories Brett!
Maybe after a few hundred miles on the JD, you’ll come back…
Wow, what an impressive run! From 5th seed wildcard to Superbowl 42 Champions, knocking off Tampa Bay, the Dallas Cowboys on their own turf, the Green Bay Packers at home on the very frozen tundra of Lambeau Field and abpruptly ending the New England Patriots “perfect season”, all in all an amazing accomplishment. Some say it was only justice that New Enland lost due to their spygate episode. I always say, “May the Best Team Win”.
Way to go Eli Manning, your big brother should be proud. It’s a good ending to the 2007 football season…even though I’m a Packers fan!
The New York Giants win over the Dallas Cowboys advances them to the NFC championship game which will be hosted on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Old Man Winter is forecast to participate with game time temperatures near “4″ degrees (a coincidence perhaps?) in what some are already referring to as the mini Ice Bowl. No smack talk from this Packers fan. May the best team win and advance to Superbowl XVII (that’s 42 for you roman numerally challenged folks).
