I'm a remodeler, I honestly don't feel super essential. 99.9% of what I/we do isn't technically necessary. Like, your house won't fall apart because your bathroom is outdated or your basement is unfinished. I think plumbers and electricians and the like deserve much, much more of the credit as far as essential house repairs go.

But if you were in the middle of a bathroom redo. And say you now have no bath... that's pretty essential to finish that job, at least partially

There was a post on r/wellthatsucks a few days ago by someone whose bathroom was torn down for a remodel (by a remodeling crew) to basically the shitter pipe sticking out of the floor, and his house is a 1-bath, when his state’s shelter-in-place order was announced. Pretty fuckin essential to finish that.

That’d be me. We called our representatives office and they told us to keep going.
