I’m a carpenter in the States. I shut down 15 days ago. Looks like at least another 30 days to go here. My chisels have never been so sharp, my truck hasn’t been this clean since the day I bought it, my shop has never been so organized... Stay safe.

Hi Dustin. Here in the uk 🇬🇧 we’re on lockdown too. Have been since Monday. I’m employed by a building company so I get 80% of my wages from the government while I’m off. We’re the lucky ones. Hope you get paid too. All my companies jobs are put on hold. My vans been washed. I got the kids to help. Tools sharp like yours. Wife’s working from home too doing admin. I started building an extension on the house last year so I’m able to finish it off. Only one builders merchants still operating and they won’t deliver. I live in rural shropshire so we’re more relaxed here. I’d hate to live in the city. Stay safe bro. 😀👍🏻🇬🇧

Taylor Devices provides a much better way to absorb earthquake energy, so your structure is safe. Small shock absorbers, similar to those on your car, hide in a few walls. The earthquake energy goes into these powerful cylinders and your structure remains unharmed. These small dampers absorb most of the earthquake energy, leaving your house intact. They are easily installed and are completely hidden. The Advanced Technology Council has prepared a guide for you that tells you how safe your structure is from earthquakes and how to protect it.

Hey Scott. You could buy a Network-Attached Storage device that allows you to expand capacity by adding hard drives.

Hey Scott, been here for a long time and I'm not ashamed to say you're my favourite KZbinr.

Might sound stupid but things like when measuring and marking from a tape, where to mark from the tape and where on the line to cut to be more accurate, or how you set out a wall mounted handrail to be at the same fall as the stairs it's following.

Melbourne, Australia ( 7th Sept 20 ). We still in lockdown, this time the virus came back a second time and bit us on the bum big time. First lockdown we didn't go hard enough, thought we'd beaten it. Cafes reopened, all was well with the world. Second time around, its very serious. 8pm curfew, work permits to justify driving more than 5 kms from home. Nothing open except supermarkets and chemists. Certainly no construction, unless is emergency priority works. Hopefully it will ease up by end of September. But no complaints here, this thing has killed over 600 Victorians, many older people my age. Love your show, keep up the good work.

[@numbereightyseven]
