Advice:
Been planning on home renovations for the past 3 months and am scheduled to begin demo on Monday. Live in the northeast of the US and my wife at home is 7 months pregnant and we both work from home. I'm considering postponing due to the virus or quarantining my wife downstairs as the guys do work upstairs and be vigilant about sanitizing everything after I interrogate workers about their conditions.Thoughts?

- and if you think that's necessary, you would do it anyway without the building work...kingsteven
