Concrete and the Coronavirus....

Well, unless you live under a rock, you know that there is a lovely little virus floating around changing the world at the moment.  I’m trying to not panic or overreact about any of it, but I am getting a tiny bit worried that this whole thing is really going to negatively impact not only mine but also most everyone's concrete business.  I’m thinking at this point that new concrete isn’t going to be very high on people’s priority list. I am hopeful that business’ will continue as usual and still be updating and constructing so that I will still have work.  And I am thankful for my website/SEO guy that keeps the calls coming in. But it is still too early to tell if these calls are going to start to drop off as more and more people are staying home from work and essentially not getting paid.  But I stay hopeful. Concrete has always been and hopefully always will be, so even if it is a slow time for a few months or whatever, it will return. Right?? But I suppose in the meantime, I can take the slow time, not panic, stay healthy, and spend some quality time with my little kids.  I will be praying for everyone not as fortunate as I, that probably have a little bit more reason to panic and be there for the friends, family, and neighbors that may need help in this ever changing, and uncertain time. Let’s all get through this weirdness together, keep our economy going while staying healthy and distant while we can, and be back to work and normal life within a few short weeks.  I will be ready to greet the hot hot heat of working in the summer with open arms! In the meantime, I’ll be researching new techniques, learning about new products that are available these days and trying to stay relevant as a knowledgeable and helpful concrete contractor. Life must go on : )
