I just checked HD this morning and a standard 2x4 is down to $3.98

I have a feeling that it may not drop any more or at least much more. This is the typical scam of when thing go up in price, they never settle back to where they started. They usually on fall 80-90% of the way.
Just to add insult to these prices,

Well, when they first started rebuilding after last summer's fires, there was a shortage of lumber. Now that the burned wood is being harvested, I would think they can build up a surplus. Hope they aren't sending it over seas again because those buyers will pay higher prices for our raw lumber....

Wow what a miracle! Raise prices till people are forced to stop buying. Then lower prices when builders are desperate. And THEN announce to shareholders and public "best sales ever in our history". Look, look, look at us!
   There was a tremendous loss of standing timber, equipt, and jobs but....? Who got those $
