Busy as... Taken on Saturday, in the front garden, playing around with depth of field

Professionally speaking, the lockdown/isolation preventative measures we've been doing here in Australia, have been great for my industry. At the start of the year, we thought it was going to be a tough year, as sales were down, traffic of both foot & electronic origin was down & I was actively hitting the job ads, so I'd be well down the path of re-employment when, not if, the axe fell, as it has every other time there's been a downturn in the construction industry for anything longer than 6 weeks... & this one had been going since before Christmas

But stick everyone in their homes for a few weeks & all of a sudden, they've decided they can't live with their current floors, or even home itself, so all the construction/renovation companies & their specialist suppliers, like us, have been quoting our socks off... I've been to more site inspections & measures in the last 4 weeks, than I had in the previous 12. Couple that with the reduced traffic on the roads & I'm a happy boy... I don't want this to end!!!

That's good to hear! Two of my coworkers have had renovation projects continuing or starting during the lockdown. Working from home makes it easy to let in the contractors, sign for deliveries, and generally keep an eye on progress.
