OK, so maybe it's not small as city lots go...but it's small compared
to the multiple acreage that some of the local 160 ops have...:-)

The lot is 95 feet (29 meters) wide by 233 feet (71 meters) deep. The
vertical and radial system behind the house in the back yard can use
about two/thirds of that depth and all the width. Actually, I could
probably go into the neighbors' yards on either side if I asked them;
I just haven't done that because I don't feel too restricted with the
space I have (also no CCR's to worry about...:-))
