Up early on a Friday morning to go off to work. Matt having a day off to work on our place. Get all nice and in my work clothes and then 10 mins before i have to leave matt starts demolishing the back door. Matt removes the architrave around the door and literally about 500 ants came out... we sprayed them and they starting dropping.. honestly it was raining ants.. i quickly got armed with the vacumn cleaner and started chasing them around the house. It was pretty funny. (dont worry - they were normal ants not white ants/termites).
Off to work for the day.
Hmm... so i arrive home from work on a friday afternoon... where matt has been working away all day ... now i dont have a back door... so it gets boarded up at night and screwed to the house. Should i be worried that there are now accrow props holding the ceiling/roof up and only a couple of screws to break in through. Matt assures me that it would be easier to break in through the front door than get though the back. OK should be ok.
Another thing.... now i can see evidence of the termites.... its kind of freaky - they eat only enough of the timber to still keep the house standing .. somehow they know how far to go!? Matt reckons there the best engineers in the world.
The weekend passes by and the wall frames are complete.
