Whenever the country was basically closed down a couple of years ago, everyone was staying home and it was a really tough time for us and our business. My brothers and I own a small construction company and we have for about 10 years now. We were trying to keep everything going as best as we could during all of the shutdowns, but it certainly wasn’t easy. None of us got sick or anything, thank goodness, but it was hard anyway. We had a whole lot of trouble with getting the supplies that we needed in order to keep all of our projects going. Back at that time, there was a major lumber shortage and the prices of just about everything skyrocketed. It was really hard to keep busy when we couldn’t get the items that we needed like the double loop rebar ties that we use all the time out on the jobs that we do. You would not believe how many of those things that we have to use on a regular basis. They are 16 gauge double loop rebar ties and we need them on just about every single job site. Once things finally started running normally again, most of our supplies came in regularly. Since the double loop rebar wire ties that we use are American made wire ties. We were able to get them a lot quicker because they were American made. If they had been shipped from somewhere else it would have taken a lot longer. I’m glad that everything is finally getting back to normal with our supplies now.
