Termite Terrors

We just purchased a new to us old house a month ago and we were in the process of "fixing" it up.  Which to us meant new paint, new flooring, cleaning and perhaps a few modifications of the layout within the next 10 years.  However, after only painting 2 rooms and ripping up only half of the old flooring we decided to get ambitious and pull off the old outdated paneling that was dragging down the family room and the kitchen.  There was sheet rock underneath the paneling so "ALL" we were going to have to do is tape and bed the sheet rock, sand and then we could paint.  A few sheetrock panels had to be replaced due to them using tiny left over pieces but overall, not a huge job.  I even had a great adventure of learning how to "mud" over the old nail holes.
UNTIL...  ( I feel as if there should be some scary music inserted here)  we found termite damage.  At first it wasn't too bad.  We were even going to stop pulling off the paneling there because the rest could stay on until we did the full kitchen remodel which wasn't going to be in our budget for a couple more months.  However,  luckily, unluckily we decided to keep going.  All of a sudden we saw LIVE termites crawling up the wall one by one.  Eating our wood studs and our old sheetrock.  So we kept pulling and pulling back sheetrock and paneling until... we cried.  Okay maybe I was the only one crying, but still.  It was devastating.  After all the termite inspector not only gave it the all clear but said that there was no termites currently residing in our home not paying any rent.  Instead there they were  eating out our wood.  HOW DARE THEY!!!!!
My husband luckily knows how to replace stuff, but even he was down in the dumps.  We called over reinforcements. Got every thing treated.  Came back this weekend to replace the studs and the sheetrock.  Meanwhile I still haven't been able to do anymore painting- which is the part I am truly excited about.
I even learned how to screw in screws into sheetrock.  I told him that I should film him and put the lessons on pinterest, but he said he wasn't interested.
This is not the kind of adventure that I wanted to have, but it seems all the adventures I am having lately are those that are unplanned. So take that termites- go away and don't come back!!!!!
