One of them the people went to their house in the woods in Pennsylvania, so their house here will be empty for me to work in. The other is someone new to the area moving into one of my old customers condo, so I'm thinking they're kind of skittish about the new area and want protection more than being concerned about me coming into their personal space.

I went out on two estimates last week but I'm thinking that it will probably be an extended period of time before they get back to me. I've got my existing new construction jobs to keep me busy for awhile but I expect a slowdown in the future as a result of people being out of work etc.
