jodil Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I am puzzled by these strange little round "orbs" stuck to the bottom of this hot water heater. I pushed on one and it crumbled like the disgusting egg sacks that spiders lay, maybe thats what is? Feel free to comment on the rest of the junk in this photo as well. I am learning SO much from all you smart little inspectors! Image Insert: 233.24 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenT Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 What is that "mud looking," "nest lookin" mass on top of the burner? Hmmm??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisprickett Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 The mud looking stuff is rust flaking off (look above the burner). I think you're spot on with the spider egg-sack theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe these are toasted spider egg sacks? I really have no idea. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Meyer Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Pellets from an air soft gun perhaps? Any adolescent boys in the house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
