Yes in did interrupt some of our orders, but we had work to complete in the tooling side of the business, gave us time to reorganize & restructure some of our departments clean & paint equipment, walls, reseal the concrete floors.....Found enough to do for people to work  so they mostly worked through so far.... a few requested lay-off and those few were granted their voluntary lay-off, but has since been called back also..... So We managed to get through it so far......so good.....knock on wood.........Everyone got to keep their benefits, & pay for the duration.....We still paid out for all benefits for the voluntary laid-off peeps too....
We Believe In Investing In Our People, and when the chips are down they continue investing in Us....

It's Called The American Dream............The American Way.......

It hasn’t affected my business or my work. It has affected me. I haven’t been able to see my mother since March. I don’t like not being able to go where I want, when I want. There’s been no swimming at the public pool or the Country Club. No parks are open. Television totally sucks because they’ve been unable to film any new shows.

About all there is to do is eat. And then eat some more. And when you’re done, eat some more.

It’s too hot outside to run.

By the time this thing is over, I’ll need to hire a crane to get me out of the house.

ICNO, I think a lot of people feel the same way. It isn't fun.

Good to see you Jackie! I hope you’re wrong about that! Small businesses can’t handle anymore shutdowns.
