It just had the changing table, chair and crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-build-a-temporary-wall#post-126156 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:20:57 +0000 Alivoo01 126156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-build-a-temporary-wall#post-126112 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:01:22 +0000 polkadots 126112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you could always do a half wall. We are considering doing a half wall in our living room to seperate it from the dining area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-build-a-temporary-wall#post-126105 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:58:27 +0000 oliviaoblivia 126105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adding a wall is pretty easy, I would advise that you check your local building code. If you are eliminating the window in your bedroom, you could be creating a fire hazard by eliminating a means of egress. This could invalidate any renters insurance you have and create a big liability for you and your landlord. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-build-a-temporary-wall#post-126101 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:56:06 +0000 heffalump 126101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never done it, but it sounds like an awesome idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-build-a-temporary-wall#post-126099 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:53:27 +0000 chopsuey 126099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! My dad built many temporary walls in our old house! He made our garage into his study/grandma's living quarters by putting up a few walls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-build-a-temporary-wall#post-126097 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:51:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 126097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our master bedroom is long (front to back) and we don't need that much space at all, so I'm thinking about building a wall and making a separate bedroom for the baby. It would cause our master bedroom to be the size of a regular bedroom, and the nursery to be a small room accessed by a door in the new wall. Our bedroom would then not have a window but I'm fine with that-- our master bath has a small window.</p> <p>Has anyone done this? I've read a lot about people doing it in NYC apartments (turning a 1 bedroom apartment into a 2 bedroom apartment without a living room, etc) and I'm really interested in building a temporary wall. Our landlord is so lax about changes that I'm sure they'd be fine with it as long as it can be taken down easily. </p>
