Was Banquet Hall, will be- Dance floor. The tables with the orange cones protected the calcium chloride test plots for the area in the foreground to be covered with wood. |

Some grinding and crack chasing. |

 |
A little smaller trim going into the kitchen as the door opens in and has less clearance. |
| The access panels. |
 |
 |
The cover was removed and wood inserted flush with support underneath. The access is rarely used and the space is to be used as a dance floor, so a smooth transition is important. |
| Final clean-up. |
