I agree with CAR on this one…If it was me, I wouldn’t want a playhouse looking in my house/backyard/windows/etc…too…I think reading this earlier, I didn’t know it was high up on a slope so if you could move it down, the neighbor maybe more receptive to that.
Also, it’s easy to look at it from just one side and that’s why these disputes happen since people have a tendency (everyone) looks just at it from their angle…Maybe it’s no “big” deal to you, but I know I’d probably fight it as well if it was me…
That said, yes, there are curtains and all that, but if I’m just sitting back having a BBQ or sitting and staring in space, I really don’t want to see kids or neighbors or anyone really checking me out or just watching me.
Course, I generally don’t like people to begin with and aren’t one of the friendly neighborly types so it could be just me…
Lastly, I’ve noticed that in terms of kids playing together, it’s more important at the younger ages that the parents actually like each other vs. the kids liking each other…
I doubt they care whether the kids get along since they don’t really like this playhouse thing and don’t really want to do much with you unfortunately.
Also, people don’t want to ALWAYS use curtains in their kitchen, while watching TV, etc etc…
You feel like a fish bowl and these houses now are so darn close already…
