Well it has been a couple weeks so I thought I would try to give you all an update. Let's see what has happened? Well for one my laptop died. I guess the trips out to Iraq and back have taken their toll. So not sure what to do about that. Katie's computer is starting to have it's own issues, but that doesn't surprise me as it is 4+ years old. Not sure what we should get or if we even should get anything. Although not having one would make communication with families a real pain in the butt.
We are hiring a guy to repair the hallway floor and retile the bathrooms. He starts this Thursday hopefully he will be done by Monday. He did a full remodel of our neighbors bathrooms turning the bath and a half into one big bathroom. From all I can tell he did a really good job.
Today I got an appointment to have a gooseneck hitch installed in our truck. It is going to be installed this Friday. I also made a down payment on a trailer.
We decided that financially it will be best for us to do a "DITY" move. That is a do it your self move. The Army will end up paying us about $16-22,000 to do it that way, with about 60% up front. So that is the reason we are buying a trailer. It would cost a bunch to use u-haul or hire a moving company, so we really will do it ourselves. The trailer we ordered is a 8'x24' enclosed gooseneck cargo trailer. It is not a cheap one with plywood and aluminum on the sides. Instead it is an all steel construction. And worse comes to worse and we can sell it once we are in Alaska with the crazy prices of things we may break even. But that is not the plan. We plan to make it there and have a nice trailer for future use paid for by the Army!
Well that's about all I can think of for now. If I misspelled anything it is probably due to the fact that I am typing this all out on my phone!
