Today we are getting in amongst the dust and spiders to empty all of the stuff (AKA useless JUNK!!) out of it. Over the next weeks the shed will be moved Garden will be dug away Concrete slab laid Large aviary moved to join the shed etc etc. I will keep you updated on the progress - its a bigger job than it looks Link to comment

We have both black house spiders and red backs here. Red backs don't always have a red stripe but their webs are usually alot thicker than that. Better to be sure though and get rid of it. So how would you recommend getting rid of spiders where budgies will go Kas? Link to comment

NOPE!! Liv helped ALL day, she helped empty the shed, stacked boxes, sprayed (and hunted out) spiders ... and took photos, she then starting removing the pavers from the floor and stacking them up in groups of five in the shed and then put a group of five in each hand and went off and built a pile outside... me I could barely manage just four and I dawdled off behind her feeling very un-manlike... (thinking about demoting myself to 003 after that) She is very eager to get the bird room done by March and is more than pulling her wieght and then some (thinking about joining a gym) Link to comment
