Thanks for the welcome back
My business is ticking over at the moment. I was lucky enough to have enough jobs to fill the workshop up to the rafters in Jan / Feb.
Luckily I anticipated what was going to happen when Covid-19 hit Europe, and worked my balls off till the end of March to empty the workshop again before the sh*t hit the fan here in Germany.
So now I have enough money saved to pay the bills until June? maybe, and then we'll see. I'm still taking jobs on, but only with an appointment at a certain time. Most of my clients are out of work anyway, all gigs are cancelled until further notice.
I wear a mask when a client is here, and when we go shopping. Most of my clients have a mask on when they bring the jobs. During the work I wear disposable nitrile gloves when possible. I'm as careful as I can be within the frame of having to touch the instrument, and play it when it's finished to check it, but 100% safety just isn't possible. It's a risk, but a calculated one. No risk, no fun
I don't want to get
too paranoid, but due to having a weak heart muscle
and diabetes, I belong to the high-risk patient group. If I get the virus bad enough to have to be hospitalized, I'm probably toast. That would be...er...
sub-optimal
@donnie_arko. If you'd like to send your guitar over to me with UPS, I'll repair it and then send it back to you
