[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all. You are making me think of things that I haven't considered (noise level, in-laws being disturbed, etc.) Unfortunately DH just isn't equipped to handle making the basement comfortable himself (he doesn't know the first thing about mattresses or bedding), so I will have to just suck it up and do the work.  :roll: [/quote]

Uh...don't be a martyr.[/quote]

OP, you don't need an advanced degree to set up the bed.  Tell your DH to order an Aero bed from Amazon and set it up; then tell him to pull the right-sized sheets out of the linen closet and make up the bed. Then tell him to move X little table and Y little lamp next to the bed.  Then tell him to clean the basement bathroom and gather towels, soaps, shampoos, etc. from wherever you keep them and set them up in the bathroom.  In other words, you direct him a bit but he does all the work.  It's really not a big deal.  And when your MIL is here, if she wants to make some minor adjustments or tweaks, then let her do it!  Use her to help make your basement guest space as comfortable and functional as possible.

This is the least of your problems right now![/quote]
