The missus was out in the garden and found something to let out a girly scream about.....

then she noticed the big one next to it ...at face height!

God damnit it I hate face-height webs.. Especially with a fat spider in the middle. The stuff of nightmares

wilber · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:32

it's only a spide..... looks at location.

Reaches for shotgun.

Looks a bit like you live in Camp Bastion.

AJK · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:36

That's a crab, not a spider. Kill the whole house, to be sure.

It's the reality for most normal Australians. The dream is the home out of Home & Away or Neighbours with a pool next to the beach, the reality is the above.

Nuke Australia, its the only way to be sure...

Beaten to it...

Thought that fence was a row of conex containers.

Uncle Petey · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:46

Looks pretty tame for Aus tbh.

Semple · 15 Dec 2014 at 12:48

Any idea what spider it is? it's got a nice red pattern.

That really is a backYARD! Look at all that dirt, and no vegetation

Colour-bond fencing is the norm here, you get used to it.
Its bare because thats the last bit of the new house/garden we need to do
Pool? Everyone has a pool, dont you???

not the worst of the creepy crawlies we have seen, but not something I wanted floating around at head height, even though it was just a Garden Orb Weaver.

It certainly is the dream, though we have accomplished it!

That corner of the garden is the final bit to do, long long process building on a bare plot.

That's a fine looking specimen.

RoboCod · 15 Dec 2014 at 13:13

That's more like it! Those night pics don't do it justioce, looks barren!

Cheers! As I said its a WIP

By that I mean we go to work and don't get much progress! Though we actually got the glass pool fence installed today, and the dedicated home theatre was last week so we are getting there but it has taken a fair while just to get to this point.
