Eh, it’s what we like to do.  Cooking for 2 is a waste.  We buy a weeks worth of groceries it is 300 +. and then we end up throwing it out.  We both work, no one wants to cook after working all day.  We haven’t cooked this much in years. 

Lol.

We don’t eat out that much.  But, neither of us cook that often.  We’d go without a hot meal for weeks if it weren’t for that NuKulaR device!  God bless the inventor of the microwave!

I think most will survive around here. I have gotten take out several times from my favs the last few weeks. They are hurting but not devastated...... yet.

 Im more concerned about my little mah and pah breakfast deli....they remained open the first 2 weeks but closed April 1st til this is over. They make the best pork roll, egg and cheese sandwiches.

I told my wife last evening while we were driving home that these places along the highway need to put up a "red neck" drive through.

Post a menu sign on a 4x4 post with a ring doorbell on the post and take orders and run them out to a parking spot when ready.

not a ton . I have 2 guys doing deck rails at a town home association so they got nothing unless they grabbed some masks from shop .

I have 1 big kit winding down and the people are in fl for as long as it takes to get done . have been getting subs in 1 trade a day on that deal have a bunch of shock it disinfectant mixed up in a pump sprayer . guys are suppose to wash down handles and switches etc every night and morning.  

we still have like 30 8511 masks left and a boat load of gloves . but guys are just reusing there 8511 and spraying with alcohol. I did get like 2 gal of alcohol when this shit started to go down 

I filled a few spray bottles with that for guys to keep in the truck.

I use that the most my self pretty much spray my hands and truck handle every time I get back in and if I forget then I do shifter and wheel .

that is it . 

subs are on there own for the most part I gave some a mask each but most are not using anyway .

fyi at Menards now . so fucking full I had to park in back l7mber pick up because lot was full. stay at home my ass lol 

We have had our guys wearing the normal PPE, hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, and have had them wearing masks since the shelter in place and we have hand sanitizer in all ganag boxes. We just got in 1,000 masks  (just in time as we were running low) and 75 faceshields which we will require them to wear. We have two jobsites where the GC's are taking everyone's temp before they enter the site, as recently as a week and half ago we saw some stupid shit with a lot of other trades wearing no masks, and even four guys eating lunch in a car......wtf 

We've been on the GC's to keep the porta potties full of hand sanitizer, one of the jobs where the GC is taking temps they have a wash station outside the porta potties.

Our suppliers have been off loading there trucks at the sites and at our yard, then our guys grab the stuff, it must piss off the lazy supply house drivers who normally find it a chore to raise the lift door on the truck :lol:

I would pickthrough your trash, and get your left-over throw outs. I've eaten cold cuts that were 2-3 weeks old, hard on the edges, and slightly green. 

I don't give a fuck. Boil 'em, nuke 'em , who gives a fuck. 

You throw A T-Bonesteak in your trash 'cause it's 2 days over on the exp. dates, and I would kill somebody on the sidewalk for that!!

I talked to a contractor buddy in NH yesterday.  He said he can't get any subs because all of their employees are getting paid more to stay home.  WTF???

I've heard 2 stories around here. Contractors are either not working or they have tons of work. The ones who are working are asking for cash payments so their employees can keep collecting EI. Employees are either working for cash or banking their hours.

The company who does all my concrete work has decided to sit. He says concrete work is Non-Essential. I've had to hire someone else to come in and finish 2 jobs.

 

A few restaurants and bars around here have announced they are closed for good. The buffet places don't stand much of a chance of making it through this. Many small shop will not make it. Take out isn't enough but they are trying. As others have mentioned, Ontario is allowing take out beer and mixed drinks but I don't know how many people are doing that. Some of the restaurants that closed initially have rewrote their menus and reopened for take out. One higher end restaurant is offering a "package meal" where they make the salad and vegetable, then they supply the potato and meat which you cook your self.

I won’t eat any leftover after 3 days.  Lunch meat so much as shows a hint of age ,  that shit is going in garbage.  I don’t even know why we bother bringing food home from restaurants.  Sits in styrofoam box in fridge for a few days then we toss it.

we don't really drink so pretty cheep to go out and eat . and my single buds almost never cook at home way less money to eat out especially if you know the cheep hot spots for that day .

lol i think in my 20s I knew every happy hr buffet and what was on tbe menue that day at every bar in the state . 2 cheep beers and free dinner every night for a decade .

 For sure as are many casseroles and shepherd pie etc. Love those as leftovers, but like you, we also go out or get takeout quite often.....so the leftovers are usually few and far between.

That is so true and it's been awhile since we've made one...it just made the menu. :thumbsup:

We've been doing takeout maybe once or twice a week trying to support the local places some...hate to see them suffer especially when you know them all.
