I wasn't there, obviously.

Um my foreman wasn't there, but I'm super proud of my team.

team, shout out to my team if any of you guys listen to this podcast.

They did an amazing job.

Of working together.

And although our shop is sort of the single maker approach, everyone, you know, from an outside perspective, you say, hey, single maker approach, does that affect teamwork?

Does that affect collaboration?

Clearly not.

Everybody rallied together, everybody worked together to help bail us, literally bail us out.

We were able to thank thankfully, there's very minimal damage, just kind of like the bottoms of some sheet goods, but we were able to get everything up and off the floor.

So in a matter of fifteen minutes we had about, I don't know, a foot of water in our whole shop.

And then it seems like maybe about two or three hours later it started to recede a little bit.

But

With that said, I'm super stoked to have a great team.

I'm super stoked to have people around me that do a really great job of working together and really believe in this vision that we've created at Philadelphia Table Company.

So kudos to my team.

And uh yeah.

So with that said, uh aside from that, the trip was was pretty relaxing.

I probably could have done a better job of lining things up better before

I left so that I wasn't fully on because I I I wasn't able to fully, fully unplug, which I actually really love to do, but wasn't able to do that.
