The termites are all gone, but the guy is coming Saturday just to make sure because when I had the initial inspection there was no damage...the damage occured sometime between the inital inspection and the treatment.
The basement and the staircase are both unfinished, and I can see almost all of the different pieces of the stairs. There is a thin particle board time of material behind the steps (under them looking up) but some of that is starting to fall apart so it can easily be removed
Thanks for the vocab too - now I'll sound kind of like I know what I'm talking about when I call someone.
