I wonder why Room and Board instead of DWR this year?

Wow, I was just inspired to figure out my square footage. No WONDER my building manager "had no idea" what it was when I moved in. Let's just say that 850 square ft would be a palace in relation.
So...yeah. I wouldn't say 850 is SMALL (especially not in all caps). Still excited to see the entrants, though.

aaawwww.....bummer, I just found this sight and I wanted to enter the contest.....but perhaps it's better to wait for next year.
705, SF, man, girl, and dog......1/2 million dollars!
but....cool.......please send me your tips;
Here are my biggest problems....
1. No real closet
2. One big (705 square feet) 'big' room
3. Love to party, but need a cool space
5. Fiancee is a dog walker, some dirt necessary
6. Clawfoot tub/shower....how do you make the inner plastic curtains be cool?....they probably never will be, of course........what should I do "in the meantime"?
7. Went from renting 3000 square feet in the depths of the Mission, to buying 700.....the adjustment has been quite interesting.
Thanks and I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts ..........fellow small spacer's
enlighten me.....
