I didn’t know the signs of termite damage before.
It wasn’t something that I was brought up knowing or kept aware of. I just noticed that there was a lot of debris and weird looking stuff on the side of my house. I just ignored it for years until a friend of mine saw it. My buddy was distraught by the termite damage. He told me that if I didn’t get it taken care of the house would be condemned. Wait, are you kidding me? So I called a termite company and the damage had been extensive. They couldn’t bomb and treat it thoroughly enough. The house basically needed to be hacked to little bits to get it all. Portions of the house would need to be removed and redone. The cost of that alone was making me break out in hives. I then had the idea to sell it. I thought maybe I could get some sucker in Jax, Florida who wouldn’t realize the termite damage and take it off my hands. Nope. Nobody wanted my bad penny. Thankfully I wasn’t stuck with a sinking timebomb. I found a Flrida cash home buyer that was willing to buy my termite damaged house. The guy wasn’t scared of an expensive project. They buy and sell homes for cash in Jacksonville in a variety of conditions. He was actually quite eager to buy it from me. I feel I got a really nice price for it being such a mess. I was just glad that I no longer was on the hook to deal with termites. My next house I am going to be better about.
