I thought you were gonna build the world's biggest smoker out of the top tank of a water tower, then make a distillery outta the bottom half of the water tower on Mon. Then you got the rest of the week to work on the Honey dew list;)
Our plans just COMPLETELY changed...

ufcking termites....

Wife was repainting the living room today. There was a spot where the old paint was cracked and I started peeling it to investigate. Thought it was moisture damage.

As I climbed down off the ladder I touched the window trim and it crumbled in my hand. The crow bar came out and this is what we wound up with....

I don't want to do the work myself but I don't know what it's gonna cost to pay someone...

Now that you have the sheetrock and insulation out, just start putting new wood into support the ceiling so that you can rip out the eaten wood. Then you can replace. The window is the complication.

Good question. I have to make a run to get a 16mm wrench and a 7/16" drill bit, but hopefully by the afternoon. I can shoot you a text in the AM.

I'm just sick to my stomach this morning. Part of me wants to dig in and get started, part wants to just burn the house down and part of me just wants to wait for the guy who's supposed to come look at doing the work Monday.

Understandably so , especially if the guy's not coming over until mon to look at it and you've got to look at it until then. Since it's localized to one wall I'd say stay away from the gas can's . It could be a good day for day drinking with Zack;) I'd converse/day drink with you but it seam's I've picked up a cold [ hopefully just a cold] and that would be a waste of good alcohol and then Chug would take away my liquor cabinet key for alcohol abuse. At least I hope you had a good family dinner last nite !! Keep in touch and let us know how it's going ..

Found more damage in the corner off the house. Started tearing out the ceiling to patch a damaged spot so I don't feel like I'm wasting time. Found some more damage but it seems like it's not so bad that the ceiling/ floor joist will need replaced but we're gonna hold off patching the ceiling till the guy checks it out Monday.

This is the worst feeling guys. I thought we were finally in the home stretch of just doing paint and simple repairs then this crap. I'm just demoralized on a whole new level.

Dang that Terminates, sure went to town on your wall. Might borrow one of those Inspection cable camera's. Poke few Test holes, to check out other locations.
I did a Bathroom Remodel, found two 2 x4s with Terminates. Never knew they were in house.. Replaced the Wood, sprayed the Wood and area with a high concentration of Permethrin. Sealed the wall back up.. DONE. I will know in 30 years. ;-)
