For a week now, I've have someone squatting on a piece of equipment. It's a fairly ancient, cheap Dolly with  a pipe that comes up one side, goes flat across the top for my hands, then back done the other side.

Leaving a nice, supported on all sides, opening for Ms Spider's web.

We had a chat: "Ms Spider, I need to use this equipment to move garbage cans full of mulch around. If you promise not to harass me, I will do my best not to intentionally damage your web."

She was still there this morning when I bumped the dolly up the road with a garbage can on it that I'd emptied into the coop run the night before. She seems quite accepting of this time-share arrangement and who knows, maybe she even likes the change of scenery and opportunity to catch different bugs? She's been all the way to the goose shelter, spent a night by the CLC shelter, and last night spent it on the roadway by the coop where I've got a Hen and her growing brood still living. She's a dainty little thing and certainly seems happy with the arrangement!
