Huge spiders in the bathroom, where are they coming from and how to not have them anymore?
You must have small hands , where I come from it's bad luck to kill spiders ,which I never do , probably Harvester spiders ,just leave them alone ,they will catch and eat mosquitos and other bugs around the house, regards worgeordie

It's been "a little warm" so ... today was "fan fixing day".
I regularly, dismantle ,clean and oil our fans , replace any faulty parts , have some that are over 25 years still looking good and going strong ,because of maintenance , whenever a tenant leaves our properties they usually leave a fan or two , dirty , seized ,I clean them up ,oil them ,good as new , give them to poor people in the area , with instructions on how to clean and maintain them , but I suspect no notice taken , Thais are usually not good at maintaining anything.......... regards worgeordie
