My wife as well.
Apparently I am not allowed to go into the house unless I have proof of the spider dead, or beard gone

:clap: Bravo @SIGSTART! It’s a daunting thing giving up the security of full-time employment. Doing it to follow your passions and do things on your own terms makes it worthwhile though (at least it has for me :grinning:) Sure there’s months where you’re not certain you’ll be able to make your bond payments, but the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Wish you buckets full of success and much happiness!

Lol did he think the spider would get a fright and fall off the wall?

i dont know what he was thinking but it wasnt rational…

That’s not how spiders work :joy:

Place a bowl or container over them slide something underneath and take it outside

Ooh spider stories! I’ve got quite a few.

So I’m practically blind without my spectacles. A few years back, early one morning, I woke up noticing this blotch on the ceiling. It’s literally the white ceiling with a darker area in the corner. I had absolutely no idea what it could be, or whether it was anything at all.
Until I put on my spectacles:

nope, we vacuum them… long enough pole to ensure it doesnt jump and the vacuum also kills it.

that thing is not leaving my house alive

ja thats me too, cant see a thing without my glasses. we get these thing all the time, i swear someone breeds them for fun and then just lets the loose on the complex.

my cats want nothing to do with them, they will just stare at them.

I literally just leave them alone.

They will not jump on you, fall off the wall or roof (unless you mess with it - dislodging it’s natural apparatus that stops it from falling) etc etc

If they get in the way or get too close, I just use the bowl/cardboard method and taken them outside.

I’m not a heartless heathen savage like everyone else here.
