Great advice Singletlover. At our high altitude the sun in quite intense and the 100 degree days it becomes unbearable without wearing a thong. There's seldom any cloud cover over 300 days a year.
My wife never had wanted to plant large trees on our closest northern neighbor's side due to it would block their view of the 11,000 feet nearby high mountains. Our new neighbor though stated that he was going to take out the gate between our properties. I mentioned to him that when it snows here somewhat heavily (3 feet plus) our home's road might be his only access out when his road becomes too snowbound. He over confidently replied that he has a 4x4 pickup and so doesn't see any issue. My wife told me that his 4x4 is a wimpy city use paved street pickup compared to our 4x4 Power Wagon which was built to tackle this climate. It is factory equipped with tire chains, huge off road tires, front and rear locking differentials, and a winch. My wife is talking about planting some 30 large trees against and along our new neighbor's fence now. Screw him.
We also have a $4 million dollar mansion up our road, but it is seldom used, other than as a holiday home. City folks don't get living up here due to my southern neighbors work outdoors nude with no concerns. I only wear clothing due to having my stuff exposed they're more likely to get bitten or stung by insects and possibly be injured while working outdoors.
