Basement plans sound awesome! A ball bit sounds like a delight for all! Haha!!

Totally feel you on the spider front. I have a crick and a few ponds by me, so every fall I have to have them come spray my house because I get infested with these huge grass spiders. They're huge, disgusting and fast! They're legit terrifying! Cat got bit by one once playing with it. UGHHHHHHH. Heebie Jeebies for sure!
