Hi, could you check correct sentences, please?
1) The sand wasn't neither loose nor wet.
2) The weather was severely bad, it was both snowy and cold
3) We had two options either cease production or continue working losing money.
4) The procedure was neither enjoyable nor unpleasant.
5) They had two main suspects who could set the building on fire and either of them hadn't had a plausible alibi.
6) When the commission will evaluate you they will take into consideration both your presentation and your speech.
7) To me, either of them aren't similar to the guy who rubbed the bank last night.

Hi, could you check correct sentences, please?
1) The sand was neither loose nor wet.
2) The weather was severe, it was both snowy and cold, almost a blizzard.
3) We had two options: either cease production or continue working, losing money.
4) The procedure was neither enjoyable nor unpleasant.
5) They had two main suspects who could have set the building on fire and neither had a plausible alibi.
6) When the commission evaluates you they will consider both your presentation and your speech.
7) To me, both of them are not* similar to the guy who robbed the bank last night.
*As a matter of style, I often write the contrary, avoiding the "not". There are just too many "not"s, "got"s, "don't"s,.. in English. Eg, .. both of them look unlike the suspect, ... are dissimilar to him... In any case, your English was perfectly fine if you prefer that way.

Nice job! Just a few comments.
1) The sand wasn't neither loose nor wet.
2) The weather was severely bad; , it was both snowy and cold (I would use a semi colon here. These are two clauses that could exist as separate sentences but are the ideas are connected to each other, so you could use a semi colon. Or you could say, The weather was severely bad, as it was both snowy and cold.
3) We had two options, either cease production or continue working losing money. (this is a tough one, I would say just put a comma.
4) The procedure was neither enjoyable nor unpleasant. (This one is perfectly fine)
5) They had two main suspects who could have set the building on fire and neither of them hadn't had a plausible alibi. (neither turns it into a negative so it's just had)
6) When the commission will evaluates you they will take into consideration both your presentation and your speech into consideration.
7) To me, neither of them aren't similar to the guy who rubbed the bank last night. (In this case saying "either of them aren't" technically makes sense if you think about it but it's not natural and a little confusing to a native English speaker. I would change "either" to "neither" and that would make "aren't" positive again)
