Remodling

We are hoping it will pick right up after all this is over. We have about 160hr of work left on the books, which we will stretch out a bit and only have one guy on a job at a time. We are usually booked until late summer by now. We lost approx. $800,000.00 dollars in contracts due to this. BUT some may come back if this ends and the stock market stabilizes. Are customers, as a general rule, don't "collect" paychecks they are generally tied to the market. And we are positioned to do bigger remodels, might have to change that up and take on repair and such. Wisconsin is shut down and currently we are not covered by essential construction work because everything we do is optional, unless its a safety issue, It's a bit of a mess with the new rules in place no one is sure what we should or should not do. The phone does not ring anyway, and even if it did we are not supposed to go on sales calls at thais point with the stay at home rule, although ........
I also teach at the tech collage and that's shut down. Today I am converting all my classes to online , teach carpentry on line

But if they pay me Im in!!
