Any idea as to whether the building supplies shops have to shut?

During the last shut-down period, every single one of them (landscaping/garden shops too) stayed open. I'd show up there and three times the number of customers were around. Lot of people doing self-help jobs, wallpaper, carpeting, etc. I expect the same thing this time around. Weird definition of 'essential'.

Bigger issue....fireworks apparently won't be sold the week after Xmas, for New Years. Have to read up on the impact.....lot of groceries were supposed to start receiving the shipments this week.
