I didnt realize Bing had the same feature. It appears the picture was taken before we moved in because we made some changes to the landscaping right after moving in and that isn't in the picture. Overall our house looks bigger than what it really is.

Slightly off topic but my husband and dog are standing in the yard for google maps street view.

The vehicle was so strange looking, it caught their attention and they both are staring right at the camera.

Quite by chance we followed it for several miles in our car. Yes, we waved.

I use Google Earth to see how big my neighbor's places are. A smart burglar would choose the 18,000 sq foot houses to plunder. And that ain't us, lol.

The Bing picture of our house is from early to mid June 2006. Some street names and the name of our town are incorrect. Bing has some catching up to do.

Google shows the spouse's car in the driveway, and Bing shows mine in the driveway; in the Bing bird's eye view, nobody's home! LOL

Hope nobody decides to steal my grill from the back patio just because they can see it in a satellite view ...

We ordered our new built home in 7/2011 and we closed on it 11/2011. I can tell from the Google earth pics of our neighborhood that they were taken about 09/2011. There are construction dumpsters in the front yard......LOL

I like mine "camouflage"... by tons of trees, color, landscape etc...
so long it does not "stand out / shout out".

Won't be cool to be a prominent structure for any missile target practices when some wars break out or stuff. The S may very well HTF you know... might as well prepare for it.

Despite the fact that I live in an 8 year old subdivision in a town that has otherwise been captured on Google Street View, our neighborhood has never been scanned.

I'm currently on street view in two cities in different states. In one of them I'm carrying some tools around, in the other I'm eating a chicken sandwich.

Our street has been a major residential street on our town for almost 200 years. It is one of the five main streets in town. They scanned three of the streets for street view, but not our street. It seems to be f\random
