    Hi everyone. Thank you all for your patience. There were many good entries and many of you had taken time to work with us during the competition on revisions. We are still deliberating with our contractor on which entry would be most suitable for the location. We are hoping to choose a winner soon.

      so the square footage I indicated earlier is on the lower end. we actually expect it to have a bit larger footprint. but excess will all be yard/outdoor space. The eastern wall borders a neighbor, the northern wall is another neighbor, the southern and western walls border fields.
