This is where it starts going wrong.

Oh, I can think of a real easy solution to that problem (she says, as she paints the empty room that we politely evicted the employed and fully capable 18-year-old from a few weeks ago...)

I'd bet any amount of money your friend's problem wasn't actually with his daughter--it was with his wife, who insisted on letting them stay.

True, and she was daddy's little girl too. He bitched at work but not likely at home.

Also, the possibility his wife didn't want him home.

I remember another guy who bought a cabin in the Poconos. He told me he was going to retire in less than 5 years so was fixing it up to make everything compact and efficient for him and his wife so the could sell their 2 story colonial and escape to the mountains.

When retirement time came, 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren had moved back home.
