TAKE THIS, COVID:
ALL NEW OUTDOOR OFFICES!
For safety and inspiration, I now use only OFFICES OUTDOORS. During Covid sheltering at home, many people have come to discover as I have the soothing recreational powers of naturally quiet settings. It has also kept me safely away from infection. I have lived in a wooded hilltop retreat for twenty years, and no one else was in my home for two months. Now, I am sharing that retreat for the first time with my clients.
I offer two outdoor offices, one in Louisville and the other east of Shelbyville at the free-standing office behind my home. At these outdoor offices, I will observe a distance of eight feet, and wear a mask with any clients who come wearing one. However, my clients will not have to wear masks, see or speak with anyone else, sign in to a register, or touch anything with their hands. Both my outdoor offices have cushy seats with shelter from sun, wind, and rain. Looking out from the office buildings that we are using for privacy and shelter, both decks are almost completely free from the sight and sound of any other people, or anything else manmade.
At my Louisville office at 2429 Bush Ridge Drive, clients park as before in the lot outside, and now will text me when they arrive. When I text back that all is ready, they walk around the building to the right side, following a sidewalk to meet me waiting on our private deck in the rear. They will have to register if they need to use our bathroom, but if not, neither of us will have to report this as a possibly infectious contact.
