1. Yes...room is in the basement / ground floor (we don't really have a subterranean basement in the classical sense)
2. Distillery. Not working with the new owners...ink isn't dry there yet but seems all but a done deal. Old company was giving away the facility for the cost of someone assuming the leases.
3. New job ticked a lot of boxes. Local. Working directly with owners (no board). Equity. They own their building. Different category so plenty to be interested in and learn.
4. Old job gave me 6 months severance plus my 1.5 months of accrued vacation...so about 7.5 months salary. My new job starts 1.5 months after the old one ended...so I was able to convert their 6 months severance into a 6 month bonus.

Did you build your sons’s bedroom in the basement?
Sounds like a very productive couple months off. Enjoy your last 6 weeks before it’s back to the grindstone

What a couple of months it's been.
I lost my job, worked 6 day weeks to close out our distillery, helped line up investors to get it reopened, scored a different job, worked with my FIL building a bedroom for my son's birthday and have 1.5 months off right now.
I took a break from posting because I found myself being unnecessarily mean to posters here and the other board. I don't approve of that from myself.
I'll probably still not post much, especially after my new job starts as it's a lot more responsibility but I sincerely hope you all and your families and communities are well.
