I've managed to updated the house pics up to Day Seven, which is still grossly behind where the project really is. The bedroom, for example, is finished as far as the contractors are concerned. My priming and painting is whole other story. Which is forcing me to realize that even though they could be done with all the work on the house within two weeks, we've got tons of work ahead of us before it's truely done.
Come to think of it, there's so much more work after even all of that, that the house is really just a giant works-in-progress at least for the next 5 years.
*sigh* I should have bought a condo.
Day Seven contains a couple of shots of the wood they found the carpenter ants' nest in. It's not so easy to see, but there was a ton of ants and they had done significant damage to the far corner of the sunroom. In some places, the wood was hollow. It had a sort of melted look to it and when you shook it, dead ants, pupa and eggs fell out. I only got a few pics because the whole thing was really freaky. We got an exterminator to come out and he sprayed down the area, which causes tons more to fall out of the woodwork. Then he dusted the interior of the walls while they were open which should keep them out and kill the rest.
Did I mention I should have bought a condo?
