East coast of Canada is a lot closer to 'Hurricane Alley' than China. Maybe they just wanted the 'less expensive' stuff. There was a shortage, they could not make it fast enough, it was shipped from all over the country then ran out. Houses were being held up because you could not buy the parts, no plumbing as in toilets, showers, sinks almost everything had to be ordered and was back ordered and took months to get anything. The reason was the shear volume of everything needed, it affected the southern 1/4 of 3 states and the closest to the coast were totally gone, not just flooded, just slabs left. Price was not the problem, they had gone up already, no sales on anything full MSRP if you were lucky to even get it. This lasted probably a year before things caught up as demand went down. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Well, just finished watching the C-Span coverage from yesterday. Have attended telephone conference calls before and heard a dog whining at times during the call along towards the end a turkey Yelp a couple of times. Evidently the ones on the call must not have heard this. On one call I had, the phone line was left open line and some could hear a man whistling, humming, coughing, and generally using the bathroom facilities to full advantage. This went on for no less than 20 minutes while the call leaders were trying to locate the culprit. So, this one was a rather mild affair in comparison. Actually, a civil affair relatively speaking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
