Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark!

dudes it is not my week. a few hours ago i found out my dad has cancer! i don't really like the guy but it's still not something i'd class as good news.. especially since i live closest to him by far.. oh well la la la! i knocked down about half the chimney left in my bedroom today.. the knocking down bit was awesome fun as usual but carting the bricks down the stairs and dumping them round the side of the joint is an absolute ball breaker.. i've got a large plastic tent around the area it's infront of my bed.. so i'm protected from atleast SOME of the dust.. but there's a huge hole where said chimney used to pass through the ceiling and this leads to the roof cavity.. which is very draughty and filled with possums.. i got up into the roof today to check it out wishing i had a shotgun.. the rafters look ok but there's a triple layer of cedar shingles sandwiched between the rafters/battens and the outer corrugated iron.. the shingles are half perished.. they are over a hundred years old after all .. and now the mystery of the daily huntsman is revealed.. when i first moved in here i saw and killed a huge fat hairy huntsman spider atleast ONCE EVERY DAY.. it got so bad i was thinking "i should put up a chart called 'today's huntsman' to track where they like to appear and at what time, etc" there were really an ungodly amount of the creepy fucken things.. i lost sleep.. i still shake out my boots and towels before every use.. when i asked around as to why my place in particular had to be so festooned with them and their egg sacs.. alot of people said it was indeed strange as huntsmans live between layers of wood.. and i didn't really have wood round the joint.. well it appears THAT I FUCKEN DO!!! i think if i got rid of all the wood up there, the global huntsman population would drop sharply and perhaps cease to exist which i would consider a fabulous occurence.. tomorrow i must venture to evil creswick (town of the cursed speeding fine) in search of a huge amount of agi pipe for the drainage system and a bunch off thin pvc pipe to make a greenhouse skeleton.. i'm also starting up a vermiculture unit (worm farm) as worms rock out in the garden.. leather pants, tight lycra, mini bibles.. they're hardcore
