Cracker Down!

In honor of Dr. Kervorkian's recent release, long overdue mercy was bestowed upon this cleverly disguised subterranean termite colony.

At first bite you can't really be sure if the damage is being imposed by the all too obvious machine on the left or could it be the red UFO hovering above.

It turned out to be the machine, resistance proved futile,

and about this time, a couple of three foot tall, stuffed ninja turtles tumbled out of the attic and with them surrender.

This is the reason tornado warnings are always accompanied with instructions to find shelter in an interior room.

Substantial timber was saved, including quite a stack of 1x12 pecky cedar purlins. But wait... what's that we see? Could it be...

Yes, the entire structure, stacked, strapped, and headed down the road on two trailers.
Could this be life returning to normal? Happy 2008!
