Re: [meteorite-list] Here's to making Lemonade out of lemons..
Ed, The termite inspection was done with the guy that was selling it to us. The house was in a trust and willed to that guy, and he had an inspection, and let us know that there had been some termite problems in the past, but it was 'all good now', and we believed him (unfortunately). The pest control people have come out and looked at it, and we had two different ones come just for advice really, and they said that they two colonies (they are in two rooms in my house) are around 10 -15 years old. And may have been slowed down from time to time with treatments, but probably never killed off, as the drywood termites are hard to kill. They live their entire lives inside the boards, and die in the boards, never really ever surface, and never eat through paint or finish, so you never really see them. We were very very naive, this was a first house for both of us, we didn't really know what we were doing, (clearly huh?) Thanks for everyone's thoughts, it means a lot to me, only 152 days until the Tucson Gem Show 2010, and we can all be together. ~LA On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 6:24 PM, Ed Deckert wrote: > Hi Leigh Anne, > > That was a most unfortunate bit of bad luck for your house to have been so > visited by the species "housus eatemuptis."

Re: [meteorite-list] Here's to making Lemonade out of lemons..
Rob, no, unfortunately, this is mine, all mine. It is ridiculous... I SOOO wish I was selling this for someone else. I can't even believe how bad it was. We just took this all apart, and under the paint, all the wood was the consistency of graham crackers. It didn't even needed to be properly demolished with any tools, we could just crumble it with our hands. I am not even clear how our front door has not just fallen out, b/c the frame that holds it is just sawdust. We realized it was a bigger job than us, so we are getting quotes to have it professionally fixed.

Re: [meteorite-list] Here's to making Lemonade out of lemons..
Bob, It's weird we bought this house with a certificate of no termites, and a warranty if they were to appear in 1 year after purchase, they would be treated immediatly. We of course tried to cash in on that first thing, and they said that it was only for 'subterranean termites', and not dry wood termites, these are two separate species apparently. And the company said that they weren't hired to look for dry wood termites in the inspection, b/c that type of termite is so rare here. We were also the victims of trusting the guy that sold us the house, who told us it was 'all good' as he put it. go figure, LA p.s. The company that we had the termite warranty with gave us a courtesy treatment, but that doesn't really help the damage, it just killed them in the section that treated. But not even all of them, just some of them. (I think at this point it just slows them down, as there are millions). There is not a way to get back the integrity of that wood ever.
