My DFriend 5 children have nearly all left home and they're looking to downside by selling and moving to a smaller property.
They want to give their home a good lick of paint and replace the bathrooms, convert an out building to a home office and a secondary outbuilding to a sauna and steam room (they already have a lovely pool) to maximize the value.
DH and I are currently working and sorting out some family admin in our home country for 6 months and have left our 2 DD happily at home (1 at a local university, 1 working casually on a gap year prior to traveling in the summer).
DF's father works in construction and will project manage the work and has recommended 2 excellent young men to do the 8-12 week work on their property. They lodge wherever the work is.
I'm over for a short weekend and met her for coffee yesterday, she's asked if these two lads can lodge at ours (we have 2 spare rooms) while the work is carried out.
I think my face told her how bonkers I thought her request was, but I kinda stuttered and said it wouldn't work for us, and why don't they stay in one of their spare bedrooms? Apparently her older left home DC don't want strangers in their childhood rooms, and she doesn't really want to have to have to engage with strangers in her own home.
AIBU to this a most ludicrous unthought-through request?
