The west wall was approximately 50 feet in length finished one side with unfinished plywood. The north wall approximately 24 feet in length to the light switch by the door with unfinished plywood, and the east wall from the partition wall approximately 21 feet in length to the roolup door. All plywood to be ¾” tongue and groove subfloor grade.
