I do not see any way that we could move before Jan\/Feb and considering how brutal those months are we may just wait till early spring. Its up in the air at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>So first some construction\/on site photos, then a few of my ideas-<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
