It hadn't been touched since the building opened in the mid-1950s and it needed a ton of work.

Josh was no stranger to handiwork, having helped rebuild after Hurricane Sandy, when he was just seven and could barely hold a drill. Little did they know that this time they'd face a hurricane and a global pandemic.
