More translation help, is this correct?

Question

It would be great if someone could check over these translations that i have done. I was given the spanish and i had to translate into english. Are they correct? 'Ya teníamos habilitados los trasteros para instalar los servicios comunes y alojar a un par de personas que nos ayudasen con las compras' Now we had enabled storage for installing common services and to accommodate a couple of people that help with shopping

'Desde hace una década compartía este sueño con mis tres viajas amigas, a las que se unieron sus respectivas parejas a pesar de sus recelos de advenedizos' = **For a decade i have shared this dream with my 3 travelling friends, who came together despite their apprehensions at the start. **

thanks

Answer 1

How about ... We had already made use of the spare room to install shared services and house a couple of people who were to help / were helping us with the shopping.

Answer 2

'Desde hace una década compartía este sueño con mis tres viajas amigas, a las que se unieron sus respectivas parejas a pesar de sus recelos de advenedizos

For a decade I shared this dream with 3 of my old friends who we're joined by their partners despite their misgivings.

(Or something along those lines )
