Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 15, 2023 9:15 pm Hi All, Just wanted to get some advice about my driveway crossever. Im current building a double story house and i need to extend my driveway. However, i have a fire hydrant near by and it will be within my drive way once i extend it. Can i extend the driveway over this hydrant or should i get it relocated? Me and my neighbor have a common driveway too.
