My winter project is about to get started, I took down one of the gh last fall. before freeze up and expanded the foot print So I am hoping in the next 6 weeks , I can get the new one up and ready to go for the 2026 season.So I can start the ground thawing process in early April. At this point , I am still optimistic, but being a one man army, will see how it goes
