Thank you.

Natalie Briggs, 595 20th Street in Beaumont. I am the owner of Jan Custom Homes. This was a, we demoed a existing garage that had kind of a, Some somewhat of a bedroom bathroom addition to it at some point. And there were major grading issues here. The neighbors would flood their their property there to the point to where in front of the garage, they actually had built up a dead concrete built up to keep water from going into the garage and the thing. So. It failed. It was not in good condition. So the client, homeowner, has decided that she wants all the bedrooms in this home are on the second floor. She wants a one floor, her first floor, I'm sorry, master suite. So because that needed to be demoed, She decided that's what she wants to put there. So that's what this drawing is. It is going to be kind of connects from her office off the back of the house and will come into a hallway that will have a laundry room to the right and then will lead into the next doorway that will be the master bathroom and then that eventually will lead into the master bedroom. All right.
