Umh, not about to start flipping spiders over to check their undersides

 

[drumstick diva]

consider them all armed and dangerous

I can handle snakes, I can handle frogs, I can handle lizards...............but I hate spiders, especially black widows. They give me the heebie jeebies. I have had a black widow climb up my bare leg (I was doing laundry). Thankfully with a stomp of my foot, it fell off my leg and I wasn't bitten. We live in prime black widow country, and they get HUGE! They are fast buggers too. I went at one in the bottom of a Tonka truck with a stick, and I was "where did it go?" The sucker ran up the stick and was right next to my hand. Spider spray doesn't kill them, but it makes them sick enough to fall out of their webs so you can then squish them.

Ron forgot to mention that they make parachutes out of their web and float away.

I did not want to go into too much detail. Another thing they do is drop to the ground and play dead--then jump up and run for cover.

Yes, I have been killing them for several weeks. They like to come out at night and hang off of the Camaro and the motor cycle. I really like the electric fly zapper that looks like a tennis racket. They do not get away when I use it.

They freak me out too!

Hurrah for the remodeling starting up Mary- sorry to hear of your appliance troubles.

Looks like they are moving right along now! Those beams will be beautiful exposed.

What year Camaro, Ron? Is it a classic? My DH has a '68 Camaro he restored.

It is a 1980 Z28. It is partly restored and I will get back to it again one day.

It would be a nice retirement project. Only 5 more years to go!

Keep plugging away at it - it's a lot of fun when it's done. Of course, I'm not the one doing all the work - I just do the riding! I think my husband enjoys the process more than the finished product. When he gets them done, he's always looking for the next project.

Yes, it is a fun project.

Of course chickens take up a bunch of time now.

Bye Bye wall!



Bye Bye ugly mosaic tile!



Bye Bye ridiculous cabinet door/desk chair!





On a positive note, my butt would have never be too cold or too hot while sitting there!
