 Posted: 08/15/05 - 21:59 Post subject: This sucketh
OK, so we have these stupid two paneled hinge doors on our bathroom (or had). I just went to open the door and the wood is so rotten from termites that the door (all 50 or so pounds of it) fell on my right ankle and bottom of foot. It made me cry from pain, and I am NOT a pain wimp. I am going to bed with ice and a lovely blue, red, and swollen ankle.
I hope you are having a better night than I.

Termites are teh suck.
Don't forget to elevate and take some ibuprofen for the swelling and the pain.

Wow. I bet you're super glad you don't own that house. 
Take care of that ankle. And if it really turns wild colors, take a picture and post it.

I forgot to say this! It's even worth buying a new camera for!

Have you had the house inspected? If the termites are that bad, I'd be worried about the structure.

Thanks. I took the advice on the ice and elevation and lots of Schlitz, but substitute leftover champagne (the person who invented the wine/champagne bottle stopper should get some sort of award). The bottom of my foot hurts the worst. Oh well.
The termites are bad. The house is a CBS, but the doors are wooden. We have already had to replace one front door. It literally crumbled away one day. The thing is, we never see them, except for one day when they swarmed, and that was ugly. We have told the landlady but she is too cracked out to care.
