That's good news, especially it being in the northeast. My wife's company, residential construction, was preparing for a looming downturn in the local housing market due to the virus. Fortunately it hasn't materialized. Some of the developers pushed tracts out several months, but then pulled them back in due to continuing sales. There hasn't been a noticeable slow down in her business. The thinking is even though the economy came to a screeching halt, buyers decided to take advantage of the interest rates and buy now anyway. And now with the local economy starting to open back up (especially the hospitality industry) and interest rates staying low for the foreseeable future, the forecast is this could be a very good year for construction.

Most of my work has been backlog work from the start of the shutdown. Once we got PPE for field service visits, it has been pretty steady. We have a few customer drop offs in our shop that are in progress. I have a nearly booked week already for next week with field service everywhere. There is another scheduled longer service call for the following week down in Virginia. That customer should give the go ahead for the service call on Monday. On Friday, I had customers begging for us to come the same day for service on the equipment since they can be up and running sooner. We have another customer that wants us on site same day as soon as the parts land. (we only have an end of day estimated delivery date) The owner of that company demanded the tracking information. Here is the thing, these parts were originally ordered in March as part of a planned service event. When everything was slowing or stopping, the owner of this particular company demanded my employer to stop all service work planned. So all parts orders were cancelled. I have a feeling when those parts come in, it will be a late night in service. Thankfully, management does not want to work the weekends. We work enough hours during the regular week to begin with. Since my direct boss is one of the owners, I do not see this happening either. We will see what happens.

Well, I'm still in Saudi. I've now been here 108 days today. My relief was scheduled to fly a charter plane from the UK along with two other guys that live in the UK but the plane was unable to get a flight entry permit for Saudi. Now they say maybe June 29. Stay tuned.....

@Rgjetboater - hope you get out soon, worked for GTE doing a job for ARAMCO years ago, IMO Saudi is a place to best be watched in the rear view mirror. Have they opened up any services, you will be quite surprised when you return home.
