When we left off last week, the new column went in downstairs. Since then, David bolted the column to the metal bracket that was cast into the newly poured cement…
The ceiling came down everywhere…
Destruction began in the bathroom. The sheetrock is now gone…
Our dark secrets are fully apparent to all as you can easily see past the sink and toilet into the storage closet under the stairs…
When David pulled off the sheetrock along the rest of the north wall where we discovered past termite activity, he revealed more. Ewww, so much more…
They ate the paper backing right off the sheetrock, the hungry little buggers. No live termites apparent. (Almost done with my post on how we’re going to deal with this.)
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, tearing out the wall uncovered a mouse nest…
Ralph the Mouse is no longer with us. He died in an untimely motorcycle accident last fall…
I’ll alert Beverly Cleary.
