We also painted, swapped out hardware and fixtures throughout.

Hey, Nicky good point in using particle.io looks like they are using Adafruit Feather 32u4 FONA hardware but it would need a cell phone service to transmit the texts.

The local hardware stores are already running lean, what with China imports down.

If you are hurting and are in financial trouble apply, but there are millions of business out there that need these funds and the idea that some might just want to take the funds cause its available could mean that the local restaurant misses out, or the local toy store fails cause they didn’t get the funds because they ran out, or the mom and pop hardware store has to lay off their employees for good.

(And construction, Hardware is deemed essential here in NJ!)

My understanding of what I read about what can and can't be done, is that plumbing, heating and sanitation needs to be operational, therefore the hardware stores are open and I'm continuing with my rehab on one of my apartments. 

I found a maintenance guy by going to the local hardware store.  

I have had several 90 year old tubs reglazed.....looks great at first but is not very durable, even the guys who are the pros can only do so good, DO NOT use the hardware store over the counter refinish kits, they are garbage...the pro job will last 5+ years but they will eventually chip or peel(some sooner than others) and/or if your tenant uses the wrong cleaners(abrasives like AJAX) it will speed up that failure.

I've been down this same road multiple times, and honestly have been the happiest with my 2004 $4k Toyota Camry that's been a beast in reliability and even better on the wallet :)
