This will result in a new ~31GB /home. You will have a small sda5 partition that will be unused!
Of course backup everything before attempting these operations!

you should be able to shrink root then use that space to merge it into the home
Code:
Code:
/dev/sda6 61G 15G 44G 25% /
#new space added to /home
/dev/sda5 1.5G 1.5G 0 100% /home
Gparted just use that slider to increase the partition after root is shrunk by using that slider.
if possible just redo everything, requires re-install of system. but the next time he should have a better Idea of his needs so it can be setup in a manner to reflect that. Or clean up /home
