Builders grapple with land shortage, soaring lumber costs
Mohave Valley Daily News
U.S. homebuilders are poised to benefit this spring homebuying season amid strong demand, low mortgage rates and an all-time low inventory of previously occupied homes for sale. But soaring lumber prices and a shortage of construction-ready land could limit their ability to capitalize on the strong housing market trends, analysts say.

COVID forged big changes in the construction industry
The Street
The construction industry can seem as unshakable as the steel frames that hold office towers together and the concrete poured into foundations of new homes.

7 things to consider before starting a skylight installation
Bob Vila
Need a little extra light in your life? Consider installing a skylight above an interior room that’s low on natural light.
