LOL .. I could tell!
Yep, have a peep hole. ;)
The neighborhood .. is the best for security.
The windows, actually the house is protected by ADT.
The trees, according to the tree folks are all non-intrusive maples and the plumbing is all under the house 'except' the water main which runs under the drive .. away from any trees.
(No septic, only sewer)
You should still consider the moat simply, for aestetic value...
