How does Coronavirus COVID-19 alter our workflow?

You can take an empty liquid laundry detergent container (one with a push button dispenser) rinse it and fill it with fresh water. A pump soap dispenser and a roll of paper towels on a dowel clamped to the handle of the detergent jug and a waste paper basket and voila! A portable tailgate handwashing station.

I've been taking out out in the back of my truck, and I put one in the back of my girlfriends hatchback. They've been working great for weeks.

The one in the photo isn't one of mine. It was easier to just grab a photo of the internet than to take a photo of the one in my truck in the dark.. but as you can see there's not much to it.


I was just searching online and found this. First review of the product is a recent purchase by...you guessed it.. a tree service. https://tyeworks.com/products/advanced-handwash-system-by-tye-works

So in the first few days of lockdown I called my insurance agent to ask if any of my policies offer any coverage due to the natural disaster proclamation. She said she call and check up, never heard back so I shot off another note. Apparently she did follow through and the insurance company was suppose to call me. Then still no word.
Today I get a email, from the agent, with a letter attached of my open claim. Guess it’s covered?

When the tree fell on my Land Rover, my home owner's insurance company declined to cover it. They said only a visitor's vehicle would be covered if my tree fell on it, but not my own vehicle. Any excuse the arseholes can use to get out of paying, they will do it.
 
It should not be called insurance, it should be called "Give us money because it's legally mandated, even though government forcing you to do business with private companies is a conflict of interest and is unconstitutional", but that isn't as catchy.

Right there with ya... just passing it on, word from the agent is they haven’t called me cause they are swamped with claims. Just thought I’d plug up the shit hole buy sharing it online so more apply
 
It's really interesting how some weeks the world is coming to an end and other times its standard operations like nothing was going on. I just closed out April and had a 40.42% increase in billable time from 2019. I'm about 70% increase from 2019 overall. I'm thinking maybe it's my market. We have lots of military and civil service here. They get paid no matter what. Also the tree guys around here never stopped working. We certainly aren't seeing the effects of a broke economy and the oil system upside down. I'm booked out 3 weeks and starting the 4th. It's insane.

It is interesting, for sure. One day we get a record number of calls, and then almost nothing for a week... We are three weeks out when normally we would be six this time of year, but sales are up - tree care sales are up exactly 50% year to date, but across the board sales are only up 3.5% because we had a record setting lack of snow this past winter. Glad to hear you’re doing so well though, keep it up!

There's some push back and protesting but he want to see that 14 consecutive day downward trend of infections before opening up further.
