Deck Demolition: Home Post

Well, due to a recent ant infestation in our house (shiver) my hubby decided he wanted to competely tear down the old deck that is attached to our house. Carpenter ants, hence their clever name, like to build their nests in moist wood - like possibly an old beat up deck. So off he went, swinging a hammer around and what seemed like only 10 minutes - our old yucky deck is no more! 

We sprayed pesticide along the foundation of the house, patched up some obvious cracks in the foundation and have traps everywhere inside the house - already we have noticed hardly any ants (thank goodness). 

I just want to emphasize how much I fecking hate bugs..so they better be gone completely in the next few days!

Now we need to build a fancy new deck, which is exciting but can also be costly! Hopefully we can start building a new one soon!
