Update: Been raining steady all day, so I spent some time in the shop and cobbled a temporary deep box out of some 3/8" plywood with 8 foundationless frames with waxed starter strips.
Tomorrow morning, rain or shine, hopefully during a break in the rain, I'm gonna take 4 of the drawn frames in the brood box and checkerboard it with udrawn and add this temp box. When I went in the hive last there was two full frames of bee bread so I'll place them in the center with undrawn next to them.
I'm also gonna pull any capped honey frames and harvest them, crush and strain, and place them back in the hive.
If there is a queen, hopefully the house bees will get some comb drawn faster than they can be backfilled and she will have some room to lay.
I hope there is a queen, this is the only one of my hives that didn't cast a a swarm this spring and they are very productive. She's one I'd like to rear from.
Thank you Jen, Iddee, Mikey and B13 for the help.
