Remember the tree house our neighbors built?
.
.
The one right at the edge of their property line… even though they own 20 acres down to the water?
.
.
The one I was glad was nestled behind a few trees with leafy camouflage?

Well, there’s my husband cutting down each and every single branch that provided relief from prying little eyes.

Not at all helpful.
Not one damn bit.

Why?

Good question. The only explanation he gave was something lame about thinning out small trees to give larger ones more room to grow. So why did he cut the larger tree’s branches? I have no freakin’ idea.

Hmmmmm. Maybe this is one of those things where the benefit is revealed later. You know, in 10 or 15 years. Happy New Year.

As someone who LOVES cutting back trees and even cutting them down, this post gives me mixed emotions. I like a clear landscape. No, I don’t hate trees, but I didn’t like when we had some that were always brushing against our house, so I got rid of those. Also, one on the left of the house and towering over it was always dropping things on the roof – mostly squirrels who then got into the house. Now those are all gone. I have two great maple trees though that I love, so proof that I don’t blanket hate trees. On the other hand, I don’t like neighbors peering into our yard, which is now an issue since they are selling the house nextdoor and the “flippers” trimmed back all of the brush that was encroached in their yard. So now you can see our garage and back yard from the street. In all it’s trash-filled glory. My son’s collection of piles of tires and old lawnmowers is now visible everytime I go down the street… yay….

It’s not a tree house. It’s a blind for deer hunters…

Thankfully no, that’s one thing I’m sure it’s not. Though if a red squirrel sniper needs to practice I might be able to book him some time there.

You’ve got such a lovely garden, he’s just sharing the view with the neighbours.

I suggest you take up hypnotism so you can hypnotize husband into revealing, not only the real reason he cut down those branches, but why he didn’t discuss it with you first.
On second thought, the latter may be (going) a midge too far.

I never know what he’s doing until it’s almost done. This is not by accident..

That treehouse location is just freaking weird. Put the squirrel house right in front of it. As for the trees, I don’t think they usually don’t overtake other canopies unless they’re weeds. Whatevs, it’s done.

They win 20 acres down to the water. Building that treehouse on the property line is beyond bizarre. I know we’re fascinating neighbors but I’m not sure we top a waterfront view.

and it’s not like he can plant a new tree line to hide it,

That’s my issue. Husband loves to cut down full nature trees, and then plant saplings he won’t water.

Kinda looks like a guard tower. Probably feels like one, too.

If they mount armament, we may have to move.
