Well, we are at the top of the hour, so let's get started here.

Myself, Nick, John, and Tyler, we're sitting down with Steve. Is it booze?

Booz?

Vice President of Marketing at Royal Building Products and

we're here to discuss the state of the building products industry and the

outlook for 2020 giving the current pandemic situation. So in general, how are you

doing? I'm doing great and Royal Building products is doing great.

You know, this is certainly different for most people for sure but we're making it through we're adaptable for sure.

Was that the reaction initially or were you along the lines of everyone else where it's like what the

heck are we going to do now? Yeah we were kind of in two camps it was oh my

goodness what's going to happen you, with this whole thing on the one side and the other side.

It's not going to last very long. We'll get through this pretty quickly.

And then reality started sitting in that this wasn't going to be so quick, you know, particularly here in the mid-Atlantic and northeast areas where a lot of things shut down and some things still are shut down.

You know, and things softened up for a little bit,

but they've come roaring back for us.

I mean, guys are primarily outdoor products as well which probably you know doesn't hurt.

It definitely helps and we've seen that a lot with a lot of our particular

modeling contractors who don't necessarily want people in their house,

especially when they're trying to work from home, homeschool their kids and everything else they have going on but being an exterior

product you know is a lot lower risk to having our our contractors that are on

site why didn't I consider that when I went into business?

I do like one or two.
