As a home inspector, who also teaches a class in wood destroying organisms through the state college system in Washington State, I always take a camera along with me on hikes or vacations. I have some cool, and very illustrative, photos that I have taken of all kinds of wood problems, like classic cubical brown rot on wood in the famous city of Pompeii or wood that is in good shape and nearly 1000 years old from Bologna. However, I think that the one time I was really happy to have my camera was in the Yucatan of Mexico a few years back. This is a photo I took of a subterranean termite mound/nest in a park. While you are checking out the photo, you might also want to check out my favorite termite song. As the title of the blog says, just be glad they are not inside the walls of your house.
