Carpenter ants typically start with a parent colony and a dead or weak tree. They then build satellite colonies in the walls of the surrounding structures. This is when it becomes a huge problem because now they have entered your home and they cause damage just like termites do. Even though they don't eat the wood, they still chew through it to make their nest. By treating trees annually with the spray and systemic treatment, carpenter infestations can be eradicated and prevented. Being proactive and treating trees close to the structure annually, you will prevent problems from occurring and structural damage from happening or people being injured by falling limbs or a falling tree.

The 3 Types of Pre-Purchase Home Inspections

Video: Cabinet Door Panels: Wood vs. MDF


so doors are constructed at five parts
you have your side rails your top and
bottom rail and your Center panel now
with the painted finish for your Center
panel you have the option of doing a
real wood panel with Reverse Raised or
you could do it in MDF the pros and cons
of that is MDF will give you a nice flat
surface that you can paint over but you
won't be able to sand through that
because MDF will will turn into fur when
you sand it whereas with a wooden Center
panel you could resand it in the future
so if you decide that you're comfortable
with your selection and you want a nice
flat door then the MDF Center panel will
work for you but if in the future you
think you may want to resand your doors
down and repaint them to a different
color then you definitely want to go
with the solid wood Center
panel

When selecting knobs and handles for
your kitchen it's important to observe a
few different things first with your
drawers you're going to want to use a
handle because it takes a good amount of
pressure to actually pull your door open
so I recommend not doing a handle
smaller than 3 and 3/4 or 96 mm
depending on the the vendor that you're
purchasing from and then if your kitchen
has has a variety of different sizes of
drawers some clients will pick a larger
handle for the larger drawers most
companies offer different sizes of
handles and 2-in increments if you're
interested in knobs knobs are typically
placed on doors because doors don't
require as much force to pull them open
and then depending on what finish you

available in satin
