It took me several weeks to get it all done, and ended up replacing about half of the siding as well due to the damage. It was an awful lot of work and if I had to have it done by a contractor it would have cost me a small fortune. About $1000 to $2000 per wall just to repare the framework. Plus the shetrock work and siding replacement. I had three contractors bid on the job and the lowest one was trying not to kill me with a heavy debt at about $23k to fix it all. I ended up doing the frame work, sheetrock and installed the siding all by myself, and then had a painter come in to cover it all up. It cost me less than $10K altogether, but I busted my a$$ for weeks trying to get out of there. All because I did not have the house treated and bonded for $2000. It was a nightmare that I never want to live through again, nor do I want to see anyone else go through it if it can be avoided. Just my advice.

Good advise. Always good to be preventative rather than the reactive.
I was shopping around for homeowners insurance and I was looking at pest protection as well, I pray that I will never have this problem, thankfully we really do not have termites in our area. Though they do exist, so I still have a concern.
