Termites Pt. II

The termite problem has a solution, although it is not a solution we like. My husband had to take the leg off our dining room table. He then took it to his uncle (who is the family handy-man) and he said the termites were in the table leg the entire time. The reason they were starting to venture out of the leg was because they have eaten up the inside of the leg. So right now the dining room table is 3-legged and laying on its side. A replacement leg is being made by my husband's uncle. In the mean time, I have sent a complaint email to Cost Plus World Market, since the table was purchased in November 2005 at their Daly City location. So far the customer service representative at Cost Plus has been nice, but no resolution has been made. I just want a replacement leg, in the event that my husband's uncle cannot match the table. I love the dining room table. It was the first piece of furniture that my husband and I purchased as an engaged couple (our original IKEA table broke when we moved. It was a leg that couldn't stay on during transport.) I'm hoping that a replacement leg can be made or given to us. I don't want to buy a new dining room table. It took forever for my husband and I to agree on this one.
