Adventures in #HomeOwnership in #Spain: The neighbor came to inform me about their view that the yard of our home is built against municipal regulations — too high.

I don't think such regulations exist in #LasGabias (I checked).

Anyway, he claims that the trees bring shadow, moisture and spiders to his yard. All three are positive aspects here. Also, they don't. His yard is full of trees bringing all the shadow, moisture and #spiders he wants.

He says the issue has been discussed with the previous owner of the house, and assumes (correctly) that the previous owner did not inform me of this unresolved claim.

Our #trees, except one ancient olive tree, are tiny. None extend even near his property.

Let's see how this develops. I am looking forward to discussing in the court setting the positive nature of trees, moisture, shadow and spiders to the ecosystem and livability of the neighborhood.

A newly planted plum tree with a couple of flowers. Tiny.
A tiny tree we don't know what it is, its fruits resemble pears.
