Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
On the smaller house front there was a rather interesting show last night on HGTV called "Small Spaces: Big Style". It was interesting to see what people have done with some small places and how nice many of them were. There were places that were in the 1000 sq ft range that I wouldn't mind living in at all (my current place is ~1300-1400 sq ft but I would rearrange the layout if I could). What bogled the mind though was people in the micro apartments of 500 sq ft or less - even one at 180 sq ft.
