This week I got the pest inspection report.  For someone who’s never read one of these reports, it was somewhat alarming.  No termites, thank goodness.  But there were findings of potential “fungus damage”(!) and maybe some “dry rot”(!) and some mysterious “white powder”(!) in a corner that apparently frightened the inspector so much he didn’t inspect the area.  So Lev and I went over there yesterday to check things out and see what’s what.

Good news. No fungus.  No dry rot.  Just some weather damage to old wood, and some peeling paint.  Mostly in areas of the house that will likely get torn down.  Oh, and the “white powder”?  Um, dryer lint that had accumulated on the ground in a corner near the exhaust vent.  Sheesh, I have no idea why an inspector would be so alarmist, but Lev says that’s just what they do.

Here’s Lev doing some inspecting:

And measuring:

And here’s what old wood and peeling paint looks like:

Not so scary. . . So I’m releasing the inspection contingencies tomorrow!
