We have been doing a lot of up scale remodels on older homes and that can be a little creepy at times. Spiders and bugs are common in this trade. Today though, was a little over the edge. We had to open up a sewage ejector system to install an alarm in case of a failure. Whenever we open up a sewage sump it is gross, you would not believe what people flush down the toilet, It sure ain't rose petals! 
It is a little like exuming a body. This one had a little problem, The original plumber had not installed the sealing gasket on the lid so the thing was open to visitors moving in. Before we started opening it up I killed a half dozen hobo spiders that were living on the lid. These spiders are like a brown recluse in their poison and are very aggressive and fast, I hate those things. Little did we know that inside the sump there was a major city of those buggers, along with an army of black widows as well. When we pulled off the lid, about 10 hobo spiders decided to bail out and take the shortest route to freedom, Jim's arms. They were running up his arms and jumping off his shoulders like kids doing the cannonball into a pool. He let out a yell and almost knocked me over trying to escape the mass exodus. I was stomping on the darn things as fast as I could while Jim was last seen heading west. It is amazing that we were not bit. It was even creepier than when my son Rich had a black widow crawl up his nose under a house. We got the bug spray and did a raid on their home until they were all dead. We then finished up our job. One day you are flying in the mountains and the next you are on Fear Factor. What a job, huh? Sleep well, DC
