Neither of those pictures are clear enough to tell from a thumbnail and the full size doesn't load (at least for me). Can you be a little more specific and give us details on markings (or lack of) and size?

My theory is that it is the Deadly and Insidious Abode Spider, though they normally exhibit chameleon-like powers that enable them to infest UP TO 93% of all houses in the world. The only way to normally detect them is to ingest LSD at which point you can see ALL OF THEM (omigodgedditoffgedditoff!). This is not recommended. The best thing to do is contact Mus-B-Trippin' Exterminators and let them spray. Only freaked-out poison-spewing exterminators aren't conducive to good health either. Most people just learn to live and let live with regard to the Deadly and Insidious Abode Spider.
.
On second thought, that looks like a completely different spider. So never mind.

No clue. It's hard to tell from your pic. I found a desert recluse in my front yard about a week ago. They are almost as poisonous as the brown recluse spider.
