The shed's starting to creep me out, I hate spidersTo grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

Normally I'm with you Art. However, this shed hadn't been used for two years. Anything hung up was festooned with webs as were the wall, doors and machinery. I kept expecting a bandaged mummy to appear or at the very least Miss Haversham.
Every rung on the step and extension ladder had its own redback.
When you're brushing solid clumps of web off you like to be sure that something isn't going to run down the handle of the brush.
Anyway, all was safely gathered in including tools I could use
Cheers,
Jim

Looks like a Wolf Spider to me also…if you want to keep arachnids and exoskeleton critters out of a place, buy some powdered boric acid and sprinkle it around the base boards and walls…no effects to pets or people, but kills roaches and spiders pretty much on contact, along with ants and most bugs with shells…reason is most of them breathe through tiny pads in their feet instead of their mouth, and the boric acid burns the breathing passages.
Even wonder why you find dead roaches and ants on their backs with their feet in the air…it is because they are suffocating and are trying to breathe by holding their feet up in the air.
You can mix the powder in water and make a spray also, spray the outer and inner walls and crawl spaces and anywhere you think the critters are getting in, when it dries, it is just as effective as the powder."That's why I love my computer,,,,,,,, my friends live in it."
