** Masonite and foam flooring is hard to stick to the floor
** Try strong carpet tape?
** Doobie is going to take a crack at it after the meeting along with any other interested parties


* Tables in lounge need bracing across the middle. They have panels that do that now, but they preclude sitting on both sides.
