Dove nest in construction area

[tigerlily211]

My husband and I just discovered this mourning dove’s nest under our deck (see photo). We are not sure, but we think the bird is sitting on her eggs at this point. The issue is that in 4 days we have a contractor that will be power washing, sanding, and refinishing our deck. What should we do? Will the bird and nest be okay? Should we attempt to move it?:/ Please help!

@Birdbabe may have advice. Can you delay the service?

We would rather not if possible... we have already paid the contractor and waited a few months on his waiting list.

If you move it you are signing those little bird's death sentence. The hen will abandon it.
Tough decisions.
