Just one question, - why does it bother you so much that your neighbour can see your 'trees' and your block in general I suppose you mean?
Why would you think they'd be interested enough to look? I'm just puzzled  |
Hi Paul,
I'll answer it with a question - why do most people build fences?
To me it seems they do so, so that they don't look into their neighbour's yards and vice versa. So because we're on one acre blocks separated by a gully, previous owners built their "fences" by growing trees. It's the general practice around here - wire fences for animals and trees for privacy, as paling fences would cost small fortunes, and in my case, wouldn't work anyway as we're both high on slopes.
So we have zero interest in watching them jump into their pool - but will be forced to do so - and my wife would like to walk out and feed the birds in the morning wearing a night gown without anyone seeing her.
So, they take away our privacy and wreck our views - and I give them the biggest eyesore for their friends and visitors to ponder. My other neighbour (who has also had his view damaged by the tree removal) has lots of old building materials hanging around in his discreet junk pile - and he has offered to lend it to me to add to the eyesore if need be.
Regards,
Renato
