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! Itā€™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 thereā€™s months where youā€™re not certain youā€™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 rationalā€¦

Thatā€™s not how spiders work :joy:

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

Ooh spider stories! Iā€™ve got quite a few.

So Iā€™m practically blind without my spectacles. A few years back, early one morning, I woke up noticing this blotch on the ceiling. Itā€™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 themā€¦ 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 itā€™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.

Iā€™m not a heartless heathen savage like everyone else here.
