#stayhome, but do it at its best!

In a moment of full social, economic and relational crisis due to the coronavirus, we can’t just not talk about it also for what concerns our field.

It is an unprecedented event compelling and forcing us to change our lifestyle and to re-value our existences and our way of doing things. So the answer ‘is it the right time for buying a pool?’ is legitimate.

During these days Italian people are staying home and to go around is possible only for vital things, such as going at the grocery store to buy some food. This leads us to think about the choices we have to take, both the unnecessary ones and the important ones.

Of course to buy a pool may seem unnecessary at first impact.

But let’s go deeper into it.

How long will this situation last? No one knows precisely. Let’s suppose it ends with the summer season, is there any possibility for it to come back in the future? If so, how are we going to organize and handle our lives?

The only sure thing is that at the moment this emergency situation forces us to NOT attend public places, gyms, crowded places, discos, beaches, public pools and so on… 

With all odds maybe for fear, maybe for being prudent about going around or attending public places, maybe for some unknown reasons, plenty of people this summer will decide to stay home.

I personally am an optimistic guy and I always try to look to the glass half-full. Today’s news show how this virus is starting shrinking so I hope that this is going to pass quickly.

But the point is that corona or not corona, it seems like our place is always where you can feel safe and you can enjoy life without too many dangers or stressful situations.

Now, how does all of this hook to our field?

Let’s start by saying that linking this important topic to our job is not simple as it is easy to be misunderstood in such a fragile contest.

My purpose is simply to give a little input, an advice to the families (especially with kids) on how to handle the fact of being forced into their own houses due to the restrictions we’re facing now.

I would say that the pool nowadays doesn’t represent only the ‘luxury good’, but also a tool allowing all the family to stay safe and to avoid unsafe environments, as crowded places are, or to not be concerned about how to handle your time with your sons while following the new laws to eliminate this virus. Let’s say that the pool is also a hygienic and safe place, as the chlorine eliminates almost all the bacteria and viruses..

If we are forced to stay home we should exploit the house and the garden at its best. Owning a pool may represent a great advantage, even though this is always true, not only during this phase.

 

TO INVEST IN YOUR HOUSE IS MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT!

Now like never before owning a house offering you all the perks is crucial.

For example, 30 years ago no one could imagine to work and to earn some money by working from home, and today thanks to internet not only it is possible, but it also represents an opportunity.

As well 30 years ago it was rare to find a house with spas, relaxing rooms or similar, but today it is possible to build some of those in almost every house.

Unfortunately what we are going through is a tough moment for everyone: we have to scarify, we have to handle those restrictions we are compelled to follow, we have to administrate our money during the crisis we have and we will have to face.

If you want to contact us, during this phase we can organize a video-consulting service exploiting the time we are spending home. Meanwhile I hope we all can walk away from this as soon as possible!
