I looked through several messages and pages of spiders didn't see this guy yet.

Looks like an orb weaver in the family Araneidae. Perhaps Larinioides cornuta?

If that is not it, it sure is awful close! I wish I could have taken better pics of him but he was on the move and not enjoying me bothering him.

Sometimes I have to cool 'em off a bit to make them sit still. Then I take them back out and let them go about their business...

LOL This one came slinking down a wall while I was applying joint compound. Neither of us was prepared for the meeting.

Thank you for the ID.

ROTFLOL Hey, it was a brave move on the spiders part. Seven females live here and hubby is a squash first, ask later (if at all) kind of guy!
