Termites....

I've taken up a new profession in the last day! Us girls have been hearing this noice like something is scratching or chewing or something in our bathroom but haven't been sure what it was.....so Wednesday evening i found these holes in the window sill....I decided that there must be SOMETHING in there! so i ripped the trim off the window and discovered the culprits! TERMITES!!! Ugh!!! Apparently they came in the window and went down from there because as far as we can tell right now there is only damage on the one wall....they were in the boards of course...and believe it or not the sheetrock was being played with too! they were eating the paper on the sheetrock....and even had gone thru to the front and were eating the paper behind the paint! So today i tore off the sheetrock and all the insulation...its only about 5 ft of wall but it took a while! in a stuffy hot bathroom to top it off! i also discovered one spot on the wall that was rotted away from being wet and i can see the brick thru the hole i made in the plywood! Oh well, this too is some of the blessings of living in the SOUTH!

I think i'll stick to my day job!
