With the economy the way it is, I was wondering what effect is it having on labor prices and more importantly materials. I'm in North Carolina, what is the effect on lumber prices? Thanks!

Not much on materials because of the inventory in place and the overhead costs/shipping are often higher than the raw materials used (and don't change much unless you go belly-up) in the manufacture of building materials.
Labor can be extremely variable because few people keep a big inventory of food.
