Bill...take heart. I have been dealing with termite invasions inside the house for the past 23 years, my house is ALL wood, and somehow it's still standing. It does worry me a bit when they start building tunnels on the wall behind the woodstove...have visions of it suddenly just dropping thru the floor. But so far, so good (I know, said as the jumper falls past the 20th floor). And spring is a mighty cure-all for all that ails ya.
