We've just been allocated a quarter and the person who is still occupying has let us in to have a look around. She's lived in it for 5 years. The whole house is covered in woodchip wallpaper, could we ask for this to be removed before moving in or does it just have to be clean for us?
After 18 years of married quarters I have never ever had woodchip on my walls lol and I'm not looking forward to having to live with the godforsaking stuff!!
Cheers

I think you'll probably be stuck with them I'm afraid
Not sure I'm convinced that I'll get used to it however I do agree it's probably what's holding the house together lol...oh the joys of military accommodation! lol
Thanks for that, hubby is Army and just found an Army Quarters facebook page which is great. Many thanks again x
Further to this DE - despite a written request and my husband going in person to see their rep are refusing to tell us the age of our carpets.
We have them coming Tuesday to "make safe" the carpets which was what supposedly should have been done before (and to which the Modern Guy laughed and said "What on earth do they think I can do with these") and they are saying we need to take it up with Brampton.
Is this the case can someone please advise me where to take this from here. I understand that 10 years is a guide, however my carpets are well and truly

We have been in our MQ for nearly 6 months and I'm a little worried about a tree that sits in the middle of the chicken wire fence between mine and my neighbours garden only half of it has leaves on and the rest seems to be dead and the branches (albeit small at the moment) are falling off. Who's responsibility is it? Can I just ring up MHS for them to come and have a look or do I have to get a tree doctor person in?
