DD, I'm sure you know experienced how it goes between builder and customer. Lots of discussion on availability of various options and the summarizing as I did in these posts did not include all the sequence of discussions. So now for the rest of the story and a good one at that: The contractor did treat the total 1 rai land area for termites. This was over and above the option to have the PVC pipe termite control system installed. The contractor did not think that I necessarily needed the PVC termite control system and mearly indicated that if I did not want to go with that system and if it was determined at some later that I needed a termite treatment (but without the use of the PVC system), the contractor pointed out that the treatment could still be applied from the crawl space and without putting holes in the floor of the house. So, that sounds like a good news story all around to me. #1, the land has already been treated for termites and is suposidely good for between 3 and 5 years. #2, I opted not to have the PVC system installed and had a net savings there. #3, if a termite erdication/control treatment is needed at some future point, I can still have it done from the crawl space without putting any holes in the floor of the house. sounds all logical to me now. I just needed to work through all the available options. I will remain vigilent though to keep an eye out for any tell tail signs of termites and take immediate appropriate actions. I think we are good to go on this issue now and moving on to the next issue, what ever that may be.Quote:
