how is everybody doing in quarantine ?

[url=https://postimg.cc/PvrsWLrZ][img][/img][/url]

I must say its agreeing with us pretty well. My wife was already retired, I am working from home. My usual commute is 1h30m each way. So now I save 3 hours a day. I enjoy the company of my wife and pets.

I even get to do projects. We have a farmhouse in Virginia with land, buildings, etc.. lots of maintenance needed. My wife always wanted a chicken coop so I've been building one.

I had never done any framing before. This project allowed me learn that on a smaller scale. Now I've got to learn about installing a window, hanging a door and roofing.

It's probably easier on people like me and my wife living in the country. I could not imagine being stuck in an apartment in town with nowhere to go.

world is mine alone. Books, dogs, close relatives, peace, beautiful days. Now if only I had stacks of facial tissue in cube boxes, I would consider myself really lucky.
