Just a tad

By concusion - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I found out the "small termite problem" the inspector told me about wasn't so small when a box from the attic fell through the floor and hit me in the head. FML

It's safe to assume that a box falling on someone's head hurts, correct? So my comment isn't a fail. I'd say that your 2nd comment is a fail. (;

You can never have a "small termite problem". If you see one that means there are thousands more, and they mate like crazy. So a "small termite problem" can turn into a huge one in about a two weeks. So ydi.

Termites have eaten drywall for as long as drywall has existed. This is not a new occurrence.

I think hiring an inspector counts as maintenance.

haha, if it was that bad, why did you believe the inspector when he said "small" problem? It should have been obvious. Termites don't stay in the walls all the time, and even if they did, you'd be able to hear that many of them.

I was in my uncles saltwater pool the other week. They're easier to open your eyes in than a chlorine pool.

If Mike Holmes has taught me anything, it's to never trust any home inspector that isn't him. They're all untrained and unregulated and never do a good job of assessing your home. You should always follow behind him, looking at everything and maybe getting specialists in to look at things that look shifty. This is your home you're talking about here.
