I'm renovating a bathroom and I'm thinking it's going to take at least 6 months and will cost up to 50% more than it would have in 2019. It's ok as I invested in bitcoin.

So many delays. The spa bath we ordered 2 months ago, we've just been told is another 2 months away. It's all moving along, but at an absolute snails pace.

Neighbors are planning on a knock down and rebuild next year. I just can't see that happening. I reckon they have rocks in their heads.

What are your supply chain, labour shortage issues? Will supply lines improve or get far worse as time goes on?

Depends where you're building I guess. The boom and bust cycle that WA operates on hit bust again the second the current interest rate rise was announced.
The mines are still busy but it won't be long before Perth based tradies are willing to travel again

That's nuts when you consider the housing shortage. So Govt's answer is to slow things even more, and a Treasurer who tells us we are lucky as it will improve in late 2023. Let them eat cake .....

..then he comes back and the price has suddenly gone up ??

...For example spa bath was ordered 2 months ago is now delayed another 2 months.

Have you considered one of those time-machine hot tubs ?

That way you could get it 2 months before you ordered it.

I saw a documentary on TV about it once. A bunch of guys who seemed quite like yourself tried one out.
