Does anyone else's street view look like crap on Google maps? (roof, heat)

I was using Google maps to find a friend's new house and idly entered my own address. Holy cow! The street view must have been taken in the heat of August and perhaps I was being miserly about running the sprinkler system (not to mention we're on water restrictions.) Most of the front lawn looks dead, and my old shake shingle roof looks dilapidated. A couple years later would have seen new landscaping and a new roof. I really don't remember it looking so bad but there it is in living color! How does yours look?
Mine had mid-construction for a while but was updated sometime a few months after we moved in. But there is tons more landscaping now, so it looks much nicer now. Hopefully they'll do another update sometime.
Aw, mine has our old mailbox still installed. We loved that mailbox (it was more wide than tall and so packages could fit in there nicely). Unfortunately, someone drove over it and it was obliterated. We tried to find the same one, to no avail. Now we have a boring basic mailbox. My mailperson actually saw me a few days after the new one was installed and said, "I miss your old mailbox - it was the best one on the block!" *lol*

My house looked like crap too. The city had done some repairs and there was a mess in front of my house. You have to option to have your house blocked from any one seeing it on Google maps, or any other maps. Now if you look at my house, it's just a blur.
It was taken the year before we bought the house. You can barely see the house because the trees were obstructing it. The house looks neglected because it was-just like the day we bought it. Now, she looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
