    I'm guessing backyards in my area look vastly different than back yards in yours. I have like 150 trees and bushes on my 1/2 acre lot. I'm so done with trimming and pruning. And that's even with a yard guy.

    Agree about the bathrooms.
    I figure it will take about 5 years for me to get tired of maintaining our yard, though right now I enjoy it. But an added benefit of our 'front 40' (is this even a saying south of the border? Our 'back 40' is our unfenced part of our land) is the distance it keeps our neighbors, even though they're super nice.

      We just purchased and acre lot that we are going to build on in Spring of 2027. I'm looking forward to a big back yard to have a large garden in. I want to do something like a fruit/veggie pantry for the community. A way to pass the time, and a hobby to keep me busy.

      TK1 and her husband bought the lot next to us. He has a riding mower and will take care of that portion of it.

        I am happy with not have much backyard space. I have enough space for my Blackstone, pizza oven, and a place to sit and hang out, which is enough for me.

        As for square footage, I went from around 1500 square footage to 3900 square footage about a year ago. It has been a huge improvement. Lots of bathrooms is great and is underrated.

          I've probably posted this article before. It's a City Weekly article from 2006 about the Greek origins of Crown Burger. It's a pretty fun read.

            Fun read. I knew most of the burger shops were Greek-owned and run, but I didn't realize that was also the genesis of the Garlic burger at the Cottonwood Inn.

              I am a true Utahn. I love the greek burger joints and will not apologize for this to anyone. I will also pushback on anyone who says they aren't good. I was a little mad at the Dough Boys episode about Crown Burger. They didn't give it nearly enough respect.

              Maybe I should grab Burger Supreme or Apollo Burger for lunch today.

                I love the greek buger joints too. JCWs is also a Utah original that I enjoy.

                  lol. Those seeking your apology for liking greek burger joints best be prepared for disappointment.

                        I like the greek burger joints, but their onion rings aren't great. JCW's onion rings are great but expect to take forever when you go there. They are slow.

                          I went to JCWs for the first time a few weeks ago. It was not good. Terrible room temp burgers. Milkshakes were awesome though.

                            That's been my experience over the past 5 years or so. Overpriced and underwhelming. Sad because it used to be fantastic.

                              I frequent Burger Supreme. But is it related to the Greek burger joints? I used to think so, but Abdel who runs it is from Morocco.
