This post was written about 6 months ago (while Dan was still working on the roof) and saved as a draft. I discovered it just now when I sat down to write some more.
I'm posting it as written.
Today Dan got to work on clean up on the guest bath roof area so that he could raise it to the same level as the surrounding roof. In case you missed the big reveal you can read about it here.

As you may recall the area had obvious evidence of previous termite activity (as seen here).
It became obvious rather quickly that the little guys got around.
Here is a normal looking 2" x 6" removed from this same area.
Here is the reality.
Completely hollow.
Dan went to pry this out and it completely "shattered."
More carnage. Water and termites. The enemies of any wood building.
Termites…urgh! The perfect environment for them is underneath the house shingles because it’s made of wood and when your roof is defective, rain water would seep-in. And these two - wood and water - are what termites need to survive. Regular inspection and maintenance would prevent water leakage in your roof and termite infestation as well.
