alwayz into somethin'

Today started like any other day. I have all these chores that I can do, but not really the willingness to do any of them. It's kind of like the gym though, once I actually get started, lots can happen! So I decided to check out the main electrical panel in the garage to see why the dryer keeps tripping the main switch.

After removing the metal door and checking out the wiring (no burns, hooray!), I noticed that the patched walls were still in need of painting. So I started sanding everything down and then thought, "Oh yeah! There's that door sill that's rotted out that I've been meaning to check out for about 4 or 5 years." About 4 hours later, I had ripped out about 3 feet of rotted and termite infested wood. I then had to crawl under the house (always a pleasant trip) to look for more termite damage.

The good news is that the colony seems to have been local to just that area, and also consisted of only 2 termites (caught one, crushed the other). While my 'expert' assessment of the situation seems rather optimistic, I think I'll look for some boric acid ASAP. Photos to come!
