It's possible to get acute lead poisoning, but if you were hand sanding I doubt you breathed enough that it's going to give you brain or organ damage. You'll probably be ok.

It’s like the Armageddon problem. Do you train an electrician to handle bees or train a beekeeper to handle electric hardware?

Also FYI: If you're having a problem finding a beekeeper just search for honey brands near your area. I collected a business card at a honey stall at a farmers market.

For a while I had a couple of dudes specializing in hive/swarm removal in my youtube recs on the regular. Way more interesting and entertaining than I would have thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgOYLDf5Wv8 Like, I'm mildly phobic, and that's still a really neat video.

Equally as bad as the one earlier where they didn't even remove the toilet paper roll before painting.

Stuff like that is kind of interesting. Superman comics in the newspaper under the carpet. I think as cheap insulation.

That number only works before you dig. If you call after you start digging it's just a room full of people on speakerphone that laugh at you. hence the name

Liquid Communism posted:Man, I can't imagine casually grabbing a handful of bees to see what kind of mood they're in. My understanding, as a non-expert, is that bees are only really dangerous when you disrupt their hive. Swarming bees (like in that video) don't have a hive; they split off from an old one with a new queen, and are working on finding a new home. Their priority is to stick with the queen, and they're a lot more chill than the stereotypical stinging bee.

My wife is in commercial property management so she see all kinds of stuff. The bees reminded me of this email she sent me (slightly edited to remove names/locations). …the attached photo you will see are several snakes that were found in the shed at the site where several large breakers to the building are located. Jon stated that the main power would not come on this morning at 5:00a.m. Jon contacted the electrician to come out to check the breakers and found these snakes in where the breaker box is. They report that the three snakes that were depicted the one on the far left more than likely was the one that caused the power outage this morning as the snake was burnt. They found several others dead on the ground approximately 20 dead snakes. Jon stated their network went down at about 5:25 p.m. on Saturday. I have not received any power outage reports from the other two tenants. Electrician was able to make repairs and clean out the snakes. Jon was able to plug the holes were the snakes were getting into the building. They did suggest that perhaps due to a mice issue inside the building this was causing the snakes to get into the building. We will want to make sure this building has the grass mowed around it often and determine if ongoing pest control would help eliminate a future episode with the snakes. I will send you another photo of the dead snakes once I receive it.
