    Meanwhile Becks is back at it in the kitchen installing some lovely new tiling to the less glamorous areas, in the hope of brightening things up a bit in our part way restored houseboat, the 'Whistling wombat'.

    Lakeland sell a little spider hoover - it humanely sucks up the spider - then you switch it to blow to eject it outside 👍🏼 the hoover nozzle comes in two lengths depending on how brave you are 😂

      @@TheNomadicCrobot Note to Chris: I had a very good friend who visited Gambia for a month. When he came back he noticed a pain in his left nostril and being a sensible sort of bloke he went to the doctor and got it looked at. The doctor shone a light up his snozzer. Went and got another doctor who in turn went and got some medical students who all in turn shone a light up his nose. After much conferring one of went and got a sharp medical pointy thing and stuck it up his nose.
      Yup you’ve guessed it Chris. Hundreds of tiny baby spiders evacuated his snozzer in a mad rush for freedom.
      I just hope they caught all the snozzer dwelling arachnids and they didn’t make good their escape and find a nice new home in rural England.

    Watched this when away on a TV in a BnB and couldn’t comment, bugger. Chris you’d not survive here in Oz we’ve got lots of spiders but you tend not to notice them unless they’re in your face. Our dogs kept going under the pergola and come out with cob webs all over them, I must admit it worried me but I also worried about snakes under there, we ended up sealing it off with timber to stop them going under there. Kitchen is looking fabulous, I love those large tiles, how easy does that make it, super impressed. Now looking forward to our next video, can’t be to far off now as it’s been a few days since watching and this comment. Take care guys. Just loving your videos. 💕

    We normally have one big spider every summer, I tell my wife not to kill it as they kill pests themselves. Best we have done is keeping one for around three months! We had one that spent most of its time on the carpet it would run out from under the TV and go under the settee! Most seem to walk around the coving on the ceiling just the one big one!

    Fukushima-dust has proven very effective in North America and Canada in eliminating all spider issues; marine life is also extensively eradicated. Peppermint oil in water works to a lesser degree and has a much shorter half-life than Cesium 238. Spray into vehicles to help deter rodent damage; modern "Eco-friendly"materials (insulation, wiring etc) are now more nutritious as well as biodegradable.

    Haha love the thumbnail. Tiles look great. I had planned on using them in the camper, but I think I'm going to change the layout first. I'm too fussy haha. I have a similar thing with my sense of smell Becca. I get random wiffs of exhaust fumes. Happened ever since I got Covid for the first time.
    Great video again guys. Unlike Bob, I DO like Mondays 👍 😁

    Thr REAL reason Chris has this thing about spiders is that there are massive intergalactic ones who visit Earth every now and then in search of refugees from the planet Crobot. The little ones that live around the windows will grow up to be about 45 feet across in Earth's atmosphere, and easily capable of eating a Crobot or two for breakfast.
    That's where Titan comes in, I reckon. He can suck up all those little egg sacs and spiderlings. On this side of the pond (the dark side of the planet) we have something bigger and badder than Titan. It's called RIGID. No, really. 😆
    Mint extract is also good for deterring rats and mice....and probably Vogons.
    The tiling looks great, and at the risk of causing a bit of trouble, I have to admit that what I can see of the shower tray looks like a success as well.

    Why don’t you do what Americans do? We put screens on our windows and screen doors over our doors and keep out spiders and flies and mosquitoes and ticks and bees and wasps. On your narrowboat you could just get some string, painter’s tape and mosquito netting and cover your little window/ porthole openings and your little door openings and keep out the creepy spiders and flying nasties. 😊
