That was my complaint.
1) i could have mown the lawn,
2) I could have cleaned the leaves out of the gutter
3) I could have sold adverytising space on the trailer top 2x3m.
4) I could have added the anchor chain and calf collar to the dog kennel*.


* I have a kennel for a large dog in the front yard, which is clearly
visible from the street. Ireally need to add a long chain and big collar,
with a sign "Warning, dog can drag kennel when adgitated" {:).

I need a new roof on my garage. It is 30 feet * 40 feet, and I am
thinking about painting 'John 3:16' to see if it shows up in the next
update. Also, I am in the path to a major airport, and over 100 planes
a week will fly right over it. There are probably more, too high to
hear. I bet it would cause a lot of comments. :)

Worth a try, although your local council might want to ping you for a fee*.

8 A Local hairdresser had a design painted onto the roller shutters they
had installed to protect their windoes from vandals when the business was
closed. Our local council called it unauthorised signage, wanted them to
reove it and then apply for planning permission. i think it became another
issue that our council lost in court and ratepayers in rates going to line
legal peoples pockets.

I live in the US, and in an unincorperated area, so there is noone to
complain to. They wouldn't be able to see it from the ground, it's a
flat roof.

Here is an areal view they took about 18 months ago. Two buildings are
completly hidden by trees.

Probably safe, at least for a while. Over here, certain places are
flown regularly (yearly) by the aerial photographers to produce images for
use by surveyors. Many authorities use those photographs for different
purposes, so they'd be the first to see it. No idea about updating on
satllite images, although based on new and old images here, you probably
have a couple of decade before it becomes public knowledge(appears on
google).

Being a former broadcast engineer, I would call one of the TV
stations I worked at, and complain that my religious freedom was being
challenged. It is a 5 MW EIRP Christian TV station, with a 1749 FAAT
(Feet Above Average Terrain) antenna. They can be received in almost
half the state of Florida. :)

Thanks Don. Lots of memories there - Woz Way, HP garage, Vegas, San
Fran, Hollywood - almost like being there again.

Is Google street view the new corporate time waster I wonder? Everyone
went berko with Google Earth.

The HP garage is interesting.
I can't get the shot shown in your link here:
http://www.gstreetsightings.com/google-street-view/hewlett-packard-garage-google-maps-interesting-street-view/
Most likely due to an update.

Most curiously though, if you move one "frame" past the garage you can
clearly see the shots were taken at different times (different parked
cars etc).

I expected that on full streets maybe, but not half way down a street.

Just tried it now Dave, it is working.

Wonder how much it costs to reverse renovation? Pin money for HP of course.

It sure is different.

I examined the shots of a friends house, and his wife is hand bucketing
water onto the plants. She is in 3 shots, and by the pace she is walking
at, I figure the "google goggo gadget" (AKA GGG) :) is moving at a very
slow pace, and vehicles traveling at local speed limits would flash past
between shots. That's my best bet.

No, I'll have to take that back Dave. Forgot they drive on the right
hand side, so they must be parked, and after spinning through 360, of
course you can see that they are. Google Guys did an extra Goggle?

Time wasting? Why who looks at Google Street view?
