Before: No Room for Homework
The home office is quite cramped. Keith and his mom Debbie have to share a desk. Usually, it is piled high with clutter making it hard for Keith to get his homework done. Mom has a collection of books stored in the garage that she would love to move into the office, but there is not enough room. The floor is another issue. It is bare concrete. The room was flooded after a hurricane and the carpet was ruined.
