After a ton of stress and calling the city of St. Paul almost every day to figure out if we need a permit and getting a million different answers, we finally got it together! We knew that we needed a driveway before the ground froze and really should have started the process earlier. We are on a road that has a snow emergency on both sides and on the side street. We basically would have to park the next block down on snow emergencies, which would have been just plain awful! Luckily after many phone calls we got an answer and approval to our plan and began digging out a driveway and the place where our garage should go once the ground thaws this spring. We also got the pea gravel area cleared and the cracking cement work by our patio doors removed. I cannot wait until spring to get our yard put back together again!
