There was a beer can and bag in the hand sink by ice machine. Also cans of alcohol and soda in front. The can and bag was removed from the sink. The cans are at least to the side so it's not blocking it completely. Discussed making sure all hand sinks are accessible.

Coving coming away from wall by ice machine.
