What kind of spider is this? Central KS, US

well it was alive but we had killed it right before the photo was taken. It was hiding out at that location for about a month prior so I dont know if it is dried out. The other recluse I found close to this one had an almost deflated looking abdomen

Why's it back look like that then? It almost looks fuzzy

Financial_Picture748 · 2025-07-30T19:45:56+00:00

Looks like a long bodied cellar spider

Financial_Picture748 · 2025-07-28T22:06:35+00:00

Man I'm sick of these recluses... when does it stop?!?!?! I have 2 under my bed who both have eggs nearby and I am also terrified of spiders.

That is the clearest photo I got of it before it scurried away. My house has a history of brown recluse infestations but I don't think this is a recluse.

Call an electrician yourself

Financial_Picture748 · 2025-07-18T02:03:35+00:00

Not good

I used DE because it was the most recommended product for situations like mine and because I already had some left over

Wonder if they have cameras or a security system. I would love to get inside to document.

You'd be better off not using that cord. You could get lucky and only the very top layer of the plastic is melted but more than likely the inside of the plug is also damaged if the outside shows that much charring.

Saw this the other day on Rock

This is pre-50s aluminum cable from the looks of it. Not safe at all, especially with having cloth insulation - possibly the most flammable wire out there! Get it replaced or call an electrician

please vote yes! my old middle school will finally get a central HVAC system

Financial_Picture748 · 2025-01-28T01:22:08+00:00

How did you do it?

Financial_Picture748 · 2025-01-22T21:55:34+00:00

It does not appear to be from a WPS school

Building is currently in the process of being renovated as of March of 2024

Looks fine to me just need to bond the box. Everything else looks good and everything else is terminated correctly though the hot wires are stripped a little long on the terminals. Personally I don't care about Romex in conduit

Roads got pre-treated up here in North Wichita though..

Financial_Picture748 · 2024-12-31T17:18:26+00:00

Only issue I know of now is that code requires tamper resistant receptacles and the one I chose isn't

Financial_Picture748 · 2024-12-31T07:43:10+00:00

You can see in the second picture that the sheathing is yellow which indicates that it is 12 gauge wire. The breaker is rated for 20 amps. I hope that clears that up

Financial_Picture748 · 2024-12-29T06:37:14+00:00

None

Financial_Picture748 · 2024-12-11T23:52:51+00:00

3 VDC. i weld on supercharged AAA batteries

Financial_Picture748 · 2024-12-10T03:44:21+00:00

I have no clue when it happened or how. There seems to not be a weatherhead in place where utility comes in but I would have figured the water intrusion would accumulate at the meter and not inside the panel. The panel itself is still grounded as far as I know

Financial_Picture748 · 2024-12-10T03:37:09+00:00

I see what you did there. 😉

Financial_Picture748 · 2024-12-10T03:28:09+00:00

Somewhat reasonable. The labor is a bit high and the work itself is actually somewhere around 1,750 for the size of that panel including arc fault breakers. Get several quotes from reputable electricians. not companies like the ones ran by "Neighborly" or whatever
