Hi Ron,

It's hard to distinguish what products are made where among anything in the building trade.

I know most bathroom fixtures are MiC (Made in China)
Lighting fixtures= MiC
Electrical fixtures = MiC
Windows, parts are MiC final assembly are still USA

Lumber, somewhere in the Americas.

Roofing, siding & insulation
I have no friggin idea.
I have to assume it's the USA.

I did see one product that was curious as per country of origin;
a porcelain sink base was tagged Made in UAE.
We bought it at Home Depot.

For you, I will pay closer attention.

Tim

MADE IN CHINA update:

I bought some real nice MiC cabinet grade plywood @ the Naamans Rd HD this weekend.

It's some variety of a 3/4" 9-ply Birch.
Clearly marked MADE IN CHINA.
It was the only cabinet grade ply they offered.
only 1 pallet 3 tiers up.
The HD employees didn't appreciate me scaling up the rack to pull it down by myself.

We'll see if there are any voids when I rip it.

Tim
