Nice. Any update on The Smell? Are pest control coming sometime soon?

TheStench™️ is still present. It wasn't very bad this morning, but after I got home earlier, it was a bit strong outside the bathroom and is no longer contained, so I guess the heat has reignited it

Got a phone call from a budget termite removalist this morning. They said someone will come between 12-3 tomorrow to climb up there and try to find it. I forgot to ask them to bring a ladder though, so fingers crossed they bring one. Not sure why they chose a termite specialist specifically, guess they must just be offering the best rates

I reckon they'll have a ladder. I hope whatever it is is easyish to get at.

Me too, though do you remember the time a tradie "fixed" a window frame by putting a nail through the window? I have no confidence in tradespeople!
