termite report

What is the name of your state? CA

I sold my house, had a termite report and had some work to be done. I completed all the work done in the section 1 and some additional things. When my termite inspector from HomeGuard came to re-inspect my work he said "You did everything I told you to on the report, but now I found new items, you need to replace the sub floor in both bathrooms." I have 2 questions about this.

1. Can a termite inspector keep adding on to the report everytime he comes over? It seems like it would be a never ending process.

2. Can I refuse to do the added work, because I have already done everything required of me on the first report?

thanks

**A: yes.

**A: yes but if the Buyer's mortgage required a termite clearance letter, you may be out a Buyer if you fail to do the work.

If I have completed everything on the first list he should sign off that first list and add a second inspection list. The part that bothers me is, on the first inspection I was told to wire brush and treat the wood around the toilet and also the tub surround needed to be removed and retiled. I did that, now he comes back the second time and tells me the sub-floor needs replaced. For me to replace the sub-floor that means I need to remove the tile and tub that I just installed from the first report. Am I supposed to eat that $1000 I already spent? Then have to retile my bathroom again. NO, I flatly refuse to do that. There has to be something I can do. How can I fight the termite company? I feel like my life is in thier hands.
