--which they are going to do, poor old house, I just don't know when yet. Our house was built I believe they said in the 1940's, and it practically oozes aspestos. They've been demolishing the homes like ours all around us the past few months, taking out entire streets at a time.
Looks like they're renovating the 80's houses, so that's cool. I'm hoping we'll be lucky enough to get one of the new 2 story models, but hey, I'll be ok with the other options too.
I'm just incredibly relieved at knowing that we'll have a place to live, and that our neighbor had a few things backwards.
Turns out that there will be a large allowance for utilities, and if we go over said amount in a month, we'll have to pay the difference. Nooo problem. It will pretty much be the way it was before, only a little more fair.
They will be paying for all moving costs, too. Haven't gotten to talk to the housing office yet, cause of the weekend and then, get this, they're closed today because of Columbus day. Come on, people!
Anyway, our designated lease signing day is tomorrow.
sorry for crappy pic, its what they had up.Oh and do you want to know something weird? We're not allowed to have our own gardens. I guess I'll have to get a million pots and dig up all of my flowers and shrubs and such that we planted this summer.. keep them on the deck or something..
One good thing, lease says the landscaping is free.
I'm beginning to think this will be ok after all. . Sure it was sprung on us with no warning, and I've spent the past few days literally worrying myself sick and not sleeping..
But I feel much better now.. *whew*

I forget if you've mentioned this, but is it military housing??
Oh, yes, sorry! I don't know if I ever *did* actually say that or not.
We live in military housing on this airforce base.
and these are the new housing units they're building? Those aren't too bad... at least they don't LOOK that bad! ;-) The three bedroom duplex has more square footage than the three bedroom house I'm in right now! :) Good luck Kat! Oh, and I owe you an email! :)
haha, they are soooo much nicer than our current house.. And um, our house is 600 something square foot ranch-duplex thing. I really hope we get one of the new houses *crosses fingers*
We went to the lease signing today, and they're apparently starting construction on Jan 1st 08, and are planning on being totally finished in 3 years.. not that we'd be here by the time that happens, but.. hopefully they'll get most of it done and we can experience the wonder of living in a brand new place *lol*
Definite upgrade...good luck that they'll finish it fast. You know, I wondered what sorts of things went on at that air base when I grew up in Boroville and now I know...House Building! ;)
