That is so cool! I assume you're the corner house? My town here in Iowa is so small, google doesn't get close-ups at all.

The corner house is a dual apartment with driveways on the west and north. I'm the next house to the east on the south side of the court. The tub is at the end of the sidewalk behind the house on the right as your looking north.

Where in Iowa? I have family south of Des Moines.

Wow, I am impressed with the resolution.  I use the aireal feature on Mapquest and cannot get that close. I tried to install Google Earth, but the servers here don't like thier servers.   :P

In reference to your idiot neighbor with the porch light....I  know how you feel.  Our idiot neighbors just have to leave their outside lights on; for what reason I don't know.  I had to move our kids Little Tykes playhouse in line with one of the lights to block it out.  If this continues I'm either going to dig out my old BB gun  :o  or build another privacy screen.  I've also thought about installing some flood lights and pointing them directly at the neighbor's house  ;D
People suffer one of two pains in life:  the pain of discipline, or the pain of regret

The aerial photos on Google of my neighborhood look to be a few years old. (alas no hot tub..or deck it's sitting on for that matter).  I wonder how often they update those bad boys....

google earth is cool, but I can't zoom in for squat on our neighborhood...anything closer than half a mile or so, and it's all fuzzy like a christmas drunk.
Our lovely neighbor (nicknamed "the queen" by some), decks her house out for EVERY holiday, plus has one of those annoying front yard carriage lights.....it keeps our tub decently lit at night, and my son complains that it shines in his window at night (he's got a loft bed, I don't think it's an issue for him)...it does, however, shine in MY bedroom window....I'd love to have it removed....or have her put it on a timer, since she's got lights on by her front porch, as well....I need to inform her that night time is SUPPOSED to be dark!! Sheesh. ::) >:(

it's only an invasion if you can see what they're doing in the tub...  ;) guess that's why there aren't any night photos.....although, THAT would be slick....tubs and pools lit up....
