Department came out to the house and said it was no problem. Durabuilt
also went to the Building Department and received permission.

Marquadt replied that full walls require different footings. He tore the
carport down and Durabuilt removed the slab.

bridge.

Valley View Rd. and County Rd. 4. Valley View Rd. will be widened to the
