Working if we go in full lockdown
« on: January 04, 2021, 02:50:48 pm »
I’ve been working through all tier lockdowns but not carrying out any internal work once we were in tier 4. What’s everyone’s thoughts on continuing to work if we are placed back into full lockdown. It’s a bit of a grey area as none of us can work from home. (Pole won’t reach haha)

If we go into lockdown again the same will apply to me as it did in March-April I’ll just continue outside,I did insides before but when they are larger places they can move from 1 end of the property to the other when needed.
They won’t stop builders  or other self employed working no way they won’t want to be dishing out anymore money after the 31st of January when the 3rd grant ends.

There was supposed to be a fourth grant in March / April at the same 80% as the third.
That was the UK.Gov site about a month ago.
I'll be carrying on too.

We will continue unless their is something specific against external cleaning being allowed

Currently our internal cleaning is on hold

We will find out tonight at 8 I can’t see them stopping us working outside maybe they will this time but I can’t see it,I think it will be mainly to do with schools and closing all non essential shops again.
I’m still having building work done on my house and I want that finishing before everything locks down again.

It looks like my Christmas break will be extended; temporarily, at least.
I've hardly thought about returning to work because I've always thought that this would happen.
I was born to shirk  ;D. Stay safe, workers ;).

Here in Scotland we are allowed to go to work if we can’t work from home. I haven’t been doing any inside work since the last lockdown, which suits me just fine!
Schools will be closed to pupils until February but will be open for the children of key workers and vulnerable children.

Yep, it’s no issue at all, we work outside, no drama.

Unless there is a ban on leaving the house, we can still work the same as March/April/May

There is no way there will be a ban on going to work if you simply cannot work from home....if you work alone and away from other people.....

We have got it made......👍🙂

This job is recession proof AND lockdown proof....happy days.....😎

It is, Daz; especially with the homeschooling. I'd sooner be working and him in school though.
I've already done two weeks isolation in December and I'm sick of it.
I'd have considered going today had it not been for the snow but I also suspected that the schools wouldn't reopen this week.

Carrying on the best I can . Kids will be still going to school as the wife is a key worker and I’ll be getting through all my work that isn’t on hold.

Why can’t your kid go to school as a key workers child Griff? Isn’t your Mrs a nurse?

I think most schools were like that early on, but soon changed to just one parent being a key worker. Both my kids schools certainly did anyway.
