Ideas for closing off an alcove
my son is sleeping in an alcove - part of the master bedroom. I believe it used to the dressing room for the master bedroom.
The room itself is about 10 feet by 7feet and the opening is about 100 inches high and 90 inches wide.
The landlord told us that they don't want us to put any hardware into the frame or the floor.
We got quotes from some temporary wall places but I dont know if the landlord will go along with that... They are quoting about $1000 for two years and then about $150 a year after that.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to section off the space so that it's still accessible but hopefully blocks sound?
Thanks

You can rent a room or apartment on a short-term or long-term basis through www.roomorama.com. They make it pretty safe and easy. Much less sketchy than craigslist.

I just moved out of a ditmas park house and i was renting the first floor. The landlord lived on the second and he rented the top floor AND the basement. He put in a second exit as it's illegal to have only one entry/exit in the case of a fire.
