I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, Bill but I think due to the 
barren landscape surrounding the strip, pilots are using your house to 
help line up for final.  It's a great navaid for them but may be 
problematic for both of you when the tower goes up.  When it's all said 
and done, you'll no-doubt get your tower up with the FAA's blessing but 
you may light it for some piece of mind.
Keep us updated.
