After talking with the Home Management Office we were told that even though online is says 7/30 on the wait list, we are really more like 4 after the notices they received that day. We were told no sooner than 30 days, but definitely no later than 60 days before something opened up. We decided we'd rather use our housing allowance on something a little roomier than the temporary housing. So after making a million phone calls, we drove around town to places where the landlords had said we could do month to month. Out of everything, this was best fit.
It's a 3 bdrm, 2 bath with a backyard and small fireplace. We will have to purchase a washer/dryer, but we found a set at the online base exchange, and we plan on keeping them for a long while. The house is currently under some minor renovations. During the ice storm a few weeks ago a pipe broke. A wall in the utilities room and the carpet are all being aired out and replaced. It should be ready for use to move in at the end of next week.
We will still keep our PSC Box on base, and that will remain our mailing address, but our new living address will be:
5522 Arrowhead Drive
Enid, OK 73703
I'm sorry you will have to move twice, but I'm glad you found a place. The outside looks nice in the pic. I feel like you are probably really busy getting settled, so I haven't called yet. But if you want to chat I'm usually available. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, it wont be so bad. The military can could it as one move. So we'll have movers again to move us on to the base. The only real problem is making adjustments again with James.
