Work Order vs. Hubby

As much as I am thankful for the handy-man my hubby is, I am ever so grateful for the Work Office on Post!  This is the first time we have lived in housing and I've heard T.O.N.S. of horror stories as far as how long it takes to get a work order in to get something fixed.  We had a few things that needed to be fixed from the day we moved in, but I wanted to wait a bit, to make sure I had a good list before I called to set up the appointment. 

I called last week, and I had an appointment made within ONE week!  The appointment was set between 10AM and noon.  The workman showed up right around 10:30, and by 11:15, we had our screen door fixed, a working closet drawer, and two new closet bars!!!  No offense hubby, but I'm diggin' the timely manner in which everything was taken care of.  For the most part.  The dead bolt on our front door still isn't working, but he told me what part I need to order through a different office and then he will come back and fix it. 

I think at the same time for hubby...what a blessing for him to not have to worry about it!  He already works from 5 to 5.  For the most part, if I need something fixed, I can just call in a Work Order, it will be completed, and I can continue working in the home as needed.  I know every man needs to feel needed in his home and it's good for him to be able to fix things...but this is wonderful!  I love it!

Soon after the workman left, I pulled out the label maker my MIL got me for Christmas and I started organizing the boys activity closet!  So glad that drawer works now!!! 



Colin can now reach his own shirts!!


Later that afternoon/evening Tim and I rearranged our closets now that we have more hanging space!




A house runs much more smoothly when things are organized and everything has it's own place!!!  Grateful that it was such a stress-free process and that a few more things are getting crossed off our list!
