When DD & DSIL lost their jobs and house they moved in with us. We have only 2 bedrooms and our garage was filled with their stuff and things I stored to make room for them. Long story short: I shoved furniture closer together in the living room and made room for my table and sewing machine. For 10 months we survived, but at least DGD was not out in the cold. I have my room back now and DH made it better than ever.
