We have got into a bad financial situation due to illness and are frantically doing up our house to sell. A relative has offered us the use of a holiday flat about 10 minutes drive from where we live which means the kids could stay at their college and we could take the first best offer and move out quickly and not lose a sale in this sluggish market if need be whilst paying her a reasonable rent ( but less than a normal market rent). The flat is empty (no funrniture) as relative can't decide whether to sell up.
The issue is that although the flat is large, it has only one big bedroom and a big living room. There are 2 doors into the bedroom, one from the
living room and one near the end of the galley kitchen. We have twin girls and a teenaged son. We thought we would sleep in a sofa bed in the lounge and we could partition the bedroom for some privacy for the kids as they are older teens (even thpugh there will be no window as such at one end). I had thought of using 2 or 3 sets of rice paper type screens or large office partition screens but wonder if you guys know of a better solution? Most of our stuff would go into storage and the move would hopefully be a short as we can make it as I don't fancy having to share the tiny bathroom in the mornings!
