This awesome space is called the Overhang- we use it for cocktail hour, ceremonies, and djs!

Did you know that intention in the floor used to be a foundation to a little building? This was used as the weigh station for trucks to pull through and weigh their to***co!

Now we are wanting to give this space new life- but we need your help! What would you do with this indent in the floor?

1. Put a platform over it and create a dance floor!
2. Make it a small garden
3. Koi pond

Do you like any of these ideas? Let us know what you think!
