I HATE BUGS!!

No, I'm not a girly girl going to scream about an ant crawling across the counter!!  TERMITES!!  How can such a small bug do so much damage?  We took down the old termite infested side wall tonight on the side of the stairs.  It came down rather easy since probably 50% of it was completely shredded to bits!

That 2x4 on the top is doing NO good now!

Look at that...like swiss cheese boards!

What we were left with after the wall came down.  We knew we'd have to take down more of the stairs...and we were wanting to rework the stairs anyway....I guess now is our chance!

Finally...all of the damage is gone!  One stringer completely destroyed as well.

Maybe we should keep these stairs??  NOT!  Next job...figure out and cut the new stringers...ugh!  I am not excited about that at all.  Stairs get cut wrong ALL the time...and we've never done them, so I'm a little concerned!  We're really testing our skills on some of these jobs!
