The Ultimate Tragedy

As opposed to starting next on the front of the house, we crossed over to the other side. The electrical meters and cable box were attached to the side that we were redoing next. I called Entergy and Cox cable and requested that they come and remove the boxes from the outside of the house and we moved on to another section of hardy that we needed to replace. After all boxes had been removed we started pulling off the old siding that was underneath them. After we had removed it all I discovered the most tragic of a series of unfortunate events. The front corner of the house, where the floor joices met up was completely eaten out by termites. The house is raised so the front corner rests on cinder block pillars. The termites had eaten to the corner, all of the way to the edges of the pillars. It was inevitable that if the floor joices were not replaced with a sense of urgency, that the front corner of the house would surely cave in. This was going to be expensive.
