Myth Buster Monday!

Buildings made of concrete and steel do not need termite protection.  MYTH!  Termites can find their way through tiny cracks in concrete and masonry structures.  They will find and eat wood trim, wood windows, or wood cabinets.  Wood roof decks are vulnerable, even if the entire building up to the roof is a non-wood structure.  Even building contents like wood furniture are susceptible to termites.  The best way to deal with termites is to stop them before they get inside.  The most common method of termite prevention involves bait stations placed around the exterior of the building.

Throwback Thursday - Duluth Animal Hospital

FSF worked with Dr. Bob Dickinson to complete this 5,180 square foot animal hospital.  At the time, Bob Foreman and Bob Dickinson were both members of the Duluth Rotary Club. The scope included reception and waiting area, library and consultation areas, offices, x-ray rooms, exam rooms, and ward rooms.  Dr. Dickinson retired in 1994, and his hospital was purchased by Dr. Mike Miller who continued to grow the business and even make national news with their honorary pet employees Penny Chicken and Mr. Roo the Chihuahua.  For more information on Duluth Animal Hospital visit:  http://vetscenewb.net/ClinicWebSite/VetWebMainForm_3.aspx?Menu_ID=1994
