Adventures in adulting?

[general_radix]

By which I mean "I want to renovate my closets in the hopes of utilizing more vertical space, and to that end I got a set of plastic shelves from Home Depot".

Maybe the adventure part comes in that I have flushed many a recluse spider in my left-hand closet over the years, and I'm not looking forward to cleaning the whole thing out.

(I really wanted to clean out the right-hand closet first, since I already use it for both storing and displaying things, but there's currently no place to move the dresser drawer. Mrph.)

UPDATE: Welp, didn't run into a single spider during the renovation of the Horrible Spider Closet.

Job's about 99% done; just need some poster board or something that can act as floors for the wire cubicles that are housing my figures now.

"Recluse" as in "the ones which are actually dangerous" spiders? Eeeek!

I have a non-aggression pact with spiders: they stay in their hole, I leave them alone. Not that there are dangerous ones around me (city environment and the only few actually dangerous eight-legged critters usually take refuge in much wilder environments).

Congrats on the renovation! I'm going through one myself and I know how a chore it can be!

Apparently recluses don't actually have enough venom to seriously harm most humans, but perhaps that's evened out by the bacteria they can leave behind/expose you to. DX

We have a bug-vac that I use to transport most smaller spiders I find outside; it's the big ones that freak me out.

Thanks (and good luck on your own)! ^^
