Can't find any info on this one and I've only found them indoors.
Webs are messy. Their egg sacs are smooth surfaced and are a dark gray color, similar to smoke. The spider was at the bottom of a generic coffee cup when image was taken, they don't get any bigger in size.
Occasionally, I see them with abdomens that are a lighter shade of the one pictured.
Unidentified Spider
Look like cobweb spiders in the genus Steatoda - some species in this genus can deliver a very painful (but not dangerous) bite. They are not aggressive, and usually bite only if mishandled.
Getting that to go on lead me to the identity, wanted to narrow it down to specifics.
Apparently it's Nesticodes Rufipes.

Yes, Nesticodes - I don't know why the color of the legs didn't register with me :-(
