Good points, CW. As explained to Dioclese, the city is involved. However...
it might not be a bad idea to have my friend double check that no permits
are necessary. He may have just assumed that since the city agreed to be
involved so much that all was OK. It may not be if the city is assuming the
home owner would get the necessary permit. Good point.

I get the impression he's saying to check what's under the sidewalk area for
the owner's protection. Not any permit issue. For instance, feed line for
water to the house, natural gas, electrical, cable services... Sewage line
is probably too deep to worry about. If that's his message, I agree.

In the regard for permit issues on boundaries regarding infringement in the
easement, that's a legality that can go either way. I would ask in writing
with a reply in writing what exactly they are granting. Then, go from
there. But again, I prefer to be specific rather than using vague
generalities. Others don't seem to be able to vocalize that.

Hypocrisy. Big SUV, filament lights on all night. You think your neighbor
should be changiing to compact fluorescent light bulbs and driving the
hybrid.

Consider renting a bobcat, ive seen whole walkways done with only a
bobcat and a dumpster, no sore back or broken fingers or toes and it
goes quick. If you have never done it its a hard, tough job. In my
city the city pays 50-98% , contact them first. I had a corner lot of
120 ft done for $220
