keep it far enough from the house so that you don’t have tree trimming issues when the tree gets big or when a storm hits…

to not create a sealed environment since the homes that did have good insulation and a good seal generally had more ‘mysterious’ deaths that were attributed to ‘stale air’ and even brought back the term ‘miasma’ for a while.

plant shade trees to the south and wait a few years for them to grow?

old wiring is sketchy. materials degrade over time. plastic polymer technology used in insulators before the late 70’s was not what it is today. insulation on new wires will last 80++ years. The old stuff, not so much…
