    I've just sold a load of bike bits, so my sheds a bit emptier than it was.
    So, I decided to tidy up a bit.
    Now, my shed is less than 6 months old .(Its 30' x 10' tongue & groove wood
    and a 6" thick concrete slab for a floor. Lovely.)
    Trouble is, the fucking spiders have moved in en masse.I remember a thread
    (snigger) about the size of spiders, from a few months ago.
    We all agreed (mostly) that there are sound ecological reasons to have
    spiders around., Unlike wasps which should be FUCKING
    EXTERMINATED....sorry...I FUCKING HATE WASPS...sorry...I'm calm now - its
    ok. Anyways.
    Is there a way of making a shed spider proof?
    I don't mind them, but I want the buggers outside and not in me shed.

    Not without making it airtight.

    X-posted to the sheddi, who will have the definitive answer.

    The answer is yes, although not necessarily in that order.

    Arachnids are your friends. They didn't catch and kill the rust
    beetles which ate the wings of my Triumph 2500 mind. Determination,
    WD40 and a lighter will rid your shed of cobwebs but may also rid you
    of your shed.

  13. I've got one which lives in the wing mirror of my car atm. he pops out
    and painstakingly rebuilds his web, and I then drive the car and it gets
    blown away.

    Yes. I know the barrstarrds. I worked for them, on contract, in 1991/1992
    They don't like ackshully paying for stuff do they?
    I know quite a few of them there:
    Steve Plant : the MD : I did my apprenticeship with him. Reasonable bloke.
    Not a Wasp!!
    Arthur Senior : Wanker
    I would have fucking shat myself. Then freaked. Totally.
    I used to that re-enactment stuff (A bit like Prawn does).
    We did an event in Fenny Compton (wherever that fucker is).
    In the field where we camped there as a grassy bank.
    In the bank as a wasps nest.
    "I'll sort they buggers out" says Bazza (RIP - Top Bloke!).
    8oz of black (gun) powder + two pints of 4 star = no more wasps.
    Eeee. It were great to watch!

    It's probably already there. Poor thing was taken into care by a
    loving collector who intended to cherish it as long as it would last,
    banger racing.

    Exactly.

    I still have a couple of Triumph logbooks that I never quite got round to
    sending back to DVLC. I think I'll keep them as mementos of 4 years
    worth of sending some of BL's finest to their end.
