Oh-so-not-fun!

No, we weren't planning on rebuilding an exterior wall in the master bedroom with the pretty tin ceiling, but when Sean reached down and a chunk of wall came off in his hands and ants scurried everywhere it became evident that we have a mess on our hands.
Yes, that is a huge run-on sentence but I'm typing with one hand and holding a pacifier in place with the other. Sorry..

Sweet, handsome, wonderful Sean is out pulling out bushes so he can get into the wall and see how far the carpenter ants have devoured. That and trying to be a good Christian and not curse the day we paid big money for a house inspector to tell us everything was fine. That and praying jacking up the house and replacing a wall is something our insurance will cover.

"oh-la-dee, oh-la-da, life goes on..."

We had home inspectors miss quite a bit on our current house as well...

I feel your pain.

Big bummer. We have to spray for these too with our log home. With living in a marsh, it's a magnet for insects. Your husband sounds so capable. Sorry for the extra work and expenses!
