And the "plywood" looks a lot like a piece of sub-floor OSB!

My first thought was Porsche, Experts, which is it?
That is OSB, old sheety board, one of the sorriest products on the market. My 2 cents.

...I'll go with an older 911...

Yes that sheet of OSB will cause a bit of lust.🤑
Very expensive item and don't seem to be any relief in sight.
I use a product called Dryply, 4 x 8 x 3/4 thick, real plywood, tongue and groove, treated with a water proofing agent and will withstand heavy rain for months.
Pre damndemic price was 28 to 30.00 a sheet, two weeks ago it was 110.00 plus tax for one sheet. I will bet it is more than that today. 5/8 CDX 82.00 and 1/2 CDX in the 60.00 + range.
Interesting observation. You can call the distributor and ask for, oh say 20 sheets, "don't have it", but order 4 units of 50+ each. Let me check on something, " I can have here in a couple days".
Follow the money on this entire man made situation and you will find the answer to "WHY".

I'm no Porshe expert by any means. But.....is a 911 always Carerra, or are they two different vehicles?
They made more than two. Don

Yep, and "OSB" is just crap that should have went in the hog, and on to the boiler, and made steam for the dry kilns......

911, 1990’s maybe older hard to say from one picture at that angle. The Carrara is the base model, there is the targa with t-top like roof and the convertible is the cabriolet, the new one have the Carrara S, Turbo, GTS, GT2 and GT3. All in the 911 chassis.

seen a lot of memes about cost of wood lately on the same lines they are funny but sad its true
we went into Menards today so just out of curiosity walked by some of the lumber ..
I may need a couple boards or two too finish a project , but thank goodness late last fall early winter timing I bought 99% of what I needed to rebuild a one car garage/ shed that caught fire a couple years back . ( yes I know but my health and time were against me getting it built )
I seen a price of 10.00 for a 2x4x8 " top choice " lumber LOL I would call rocking chair wood... as in crooked like the rockers for you have never heard the term .
what plywood I glanced at was 89.00 a sheet I did not bother to look any more,, the PC word Yikes comes to mind on the prices . so I just went back and got the few things we stopped in for

I went to log building school in 1986. My instructor had built 74 log cabins at that point. He said OSB was no good for subfloors and he used 3/4 inch pressure treated plywood, t&g. It takes much longer to build a log cabin than a frame house, so the log cabin subfloor is exposed to much more rain, plus you are rolling around 300 pound logs on your log crane on the sub floor.
I built my first turn key log cabin in 1988 and I used pt plywood, 3/4 inch for the subfloor and it worked great. And it took me 4 months to get a roof on the house, I was working full time as a paramedic at the time.
Over the years I built 4 log cabins turn key and I stuck with the plywood.
However, in 2015 I built an addition onto my house, and the addition is a 20 x 24 log cabin, and I learned that times have changed. You can't even buy t&g pt plywood any more. And the quality of the pt plywood is not nearly as good as it used to be. No, the best subfloor these days is made with, yes, OSB.
Times have changed.
And the best OSB is Advantech, sold at Lowes. .
AdvanTech 23/32-in x 4-ft x 8-ft Tongue and Groove OSB Subfloor Lowes.com
Shop AdvanTech 23/32-in x 4-ft x 8-ft Tongue and Groove OSB Subfloorundefined at Lowe's.com. With a limited lifetime warranty and 500-day no-sanding guarantee, AdvanTech® flooring is the flooring panel that more builders trust. It’sThis stuff is really good! And, once again I was doing all kinds of fancy work on my new log cabin and the roof is really fancy so it took me nearly 4 months to get a roof on this house. In fact I am sitting atop the Advantech subfloor right now. We get a lot of rain up here in the NC mountains so this subfloor really took a beating and it held up just great. It was a pleasure to work with the badass t&g Advantech product but, it didn't cost $70 a sheet, six years ago. I was paying about $18 a sheet.
ps Also, glue it onto the joists with Liquid Nails. And, of course, use screws not nails. I used 3 inch decking screws.

The Advantech is good stuff (they make some really nice sheathing products, too!) but I'm of the opinion that the best subfloor is 1 1/8" T&G plywood glued and screwed. PL-400 adhesive and 2.5" star drive deck screws. No worries ever.

1 1/8 inch t&g plywood. Good God I never heard of such a thing. Well I always like to overbuild so if I could have gotten my hands on that I probably would have used it. Where do you buy that stuff?
I must say, though, that Advantech is just as good, if not better than, any 3/4 plywood I ever used. My brother was showing off one day as we wheeled the home made crane around, he gave it a shove. We had the summerbeam hanging from the crane, a mammoth 18 inch by 8 inch by 18 foot long black walnut beam, and "Hercules" brother shoved the crane right over and that beam fell 6 feet and crashed onto the subfloor. It took about 5 seconds for the beam to crash into the subfloor but it seemed like slow motion, it seemed like it took five minutes. I envisioned a 3 foot hole in the Advantech. But no, it only punched a little hole about 4 inches wide. I couldn't believe how strong and well made this Advantech is.
And yes I use the star drive screws. We shot hundreds of pounds of screws on this log cabin and only used about 10 pounds of nails. Love my DeWalt screw gun.

Advantech was installed in our home when it was built. That stuff is waterproof and builders use it for a reason. If a rainstorm or delays in building happen..and they do.. they do not have to replace the swollen up plywood or particle board. I use it in all wet areas.. bathrooms in front of doors in rentals. No need to ever replace it.
