Universities are largely money vacuums (hence the explosion of worthless and easy majors) so it makes complete sense that the school would work with the local government to driveup the cost of private housing.I'm so glad I've never made an alumni donation to that school.BTW around 1993 a book store opened up next to the school offering cheaper textbooks and higher resale values.

More extensive work would be done by a licensed and insured contractor.Not worried about the person vacuuming or mopping being insured.

Owasso is also near the American Airlines maintenance base which is the largest aircraft maintenance base in the world.

We can not evaluate what is normal inside of a vacuum. 

and enough pots pans and eating stuff to last 8 days, or would you need maid service more often.If the sink has a hand held squirt nozzle and a soap filled sponge wand it's easier than doing dishes by hand.The maid could change the sheets and towels, vacuum, cleanse the kitchen NSF sanitary (including the fridge), take the garbage to the curb, put down some carpet fresh, etc...Let the boys divvy up grass, snow shoveling and who makes the pot roast, carrots and potatoes for that night (that's a real muscle building meal).If you do go with a maid, it might be wise to pick one they won't be hitting on all the time, to ensure she is there to get her work done vs etc...
