Subterranean termites need to be killed where they live, in the ground.Remember that wet soil will also attract termites - so look for pipes leaking and plants/mulch that stay wet close to the building.In Florida, a wooden building that hasn't been treated for termites recently... has termites.

The wall in the back of the first floor jutted out and needed to have the pipes moved so I could regain 6 inches.I know 6 inches doesn't seem like much but let me remind you the above ground square footage is 469 sq ft, every inch counts.I was impressed. 

Now, your soil profile will not change that dramatically over your life time... and if a couple of inches of topsoil washes away, it will not affect the pile.

Hi all,My rental property in Houston flooded (about 6 inches of water inside the entire house).

        Purchased this one for $89k with a $60k Rehab $249k ARV and as with most rehabs it's taking longer and costing more...Besides that due to Hurricane Harvey and an already tight sub-market I am happy to say it looks like our ARV may be inching up over the next month or so which is GRRRREAT!

Had a maple tree fall on a pool enclosure, but only caused a 6 inch rip in the screen.  

I need bids from a handyman team for exterior house painting, grass removal, and mulch and drip irrigation installation.

There are two good sized spots, maybe about 10 inches in diameter and several smaller spotted areas.  

Everyone i spoke to did not replace wire.just remember; all drywall 12 inches above flood line, cabinets, doors, flooring(tile should be fine), maybe the a/c equipment, window stools, baseboard, insulation, outlets (at least) and it took us 3 months with multiple fans and humidifiers running to get all the wood back to acceptable moisture content.

. $1400 for gas and a 6x6 inch block of concrete?!?!
