I'm posting in solidarity with myrison, whose recent shower leak caused him some grief.

We've begun to see termites in certain downstairs areas of our house. My wife had a guy out today and he recommended treating below the slab, which require drilling. Through the slab. From inside the house. I have to figure out whether it'll be feasible to remove one column of the laminate square tile flooring I put in last year to give him the access he wants.

If you've ever put in a floating laminate floor, the easiest way to remove it is by starting with the last row you installed and working backwards. Doing it this way would mean taking out every single row. It should be possible to jimmy off the one column with enough wiggling, though.

Before I can even do this, I have to practically empty half my living room and pull half the quarter-round trim off the baseboards.

This ruined my weekend. The treatment appointment is for Monday morning.
