Cleaning the house....... You think you have spiders. A few people determined to play beer pong refused to set up the game in the basement. They cited too many spiders. The big one in the corner scares even me. It is not a brown recluse nor a black widow. It is just a nasty house spider.
At least my water situation is now stable. It appears that a mouse chewed through a water line that provided water directly to my refrigerator's ice maker. This caused a pool of water to appear under the frige, then the basement flooded. The water leaking out of that line soaked one of the ceiling tiles in the basement until it collapsed and fell on the floor! The shut off valve for this line is near the water main that allows me to shut off the water for the whole house. It is in a very tight, difficult to reach place. I was able to simply turn off that valve- and the water problem is solved. I should have been on it 24 hours earlier. But I got High.
