This extended family has very little money, but is determined to keep ownership of the house – their largest financial asset.
A screen is placed across the front hall, so the view to the first floor bathroom is closed off, and the living room and bathroom are used as an in-law suite.
The kitchen appliances are relocated, paired with a new laminate counter, open shelves and wall-hung pot racks, so the kitchen table can seat six or squeeze in eight, and the dining room is used as a living room.
The family uses the three "hall bedrooms" as well as the hall bath for themselves keeping one bedroom for all three children to sleep in, and one for studying.
The master bedroom and bath are rented out for extra income.
The basement is unfinished but used heavily for storage, and the garage is used as a workshop for a part-time repair business.
