You indicated that the termite treatment was on the lower 36" of the "framing." The framing is mostly steel, as I mentioned. You are speaking about wallboard. I am not familiar with what the laws are regarding termite treatment in new construction within the Villages, but I gather you are??? Or are you basing what you've said upon what you've seen?

I did not say that laws regarding moving soil from one county to another don't exist. I specifically made reference to the three counties right here, not south Florida. I lived in south Florida for over 25 years and had topsoil put down on a couple of occasions. I was never informed that where it came from was an issue, and it wasn't. I paid -- they delivered. . I simply said that the burden of that "law" is on the supplier, not the homeowner. That is the point I was making.
