Found in the same area on the same day as:

Agree with Cellar Spider,
I moved to the guide page.

Family Pholcidae - Cellar Spiders
It's a cellar spider. Maybe somebody can get you further along with an ID. Here's a reference section - Family Pholcidae - Cellar Spiders

 
Cellar Spider
Are those egg sacs in the one photo?

 
Question
Are these 2 different spiders or were they taken on 2 different days?

 
Cellar Spider
The photos were taken the same day, on opposite sides of an entryway. The one with what appears to be egg sacs was on the ceiling, the other about 1.5 feet above the floor.

I touched the web of the one nearest the floor and it responded by spinning vigorously, as if in a vortex.

I assumed they were both the same species. There were two other spiders that appeared to be the same in the entry as well.

 
Linking
is reserved for images of the same individual insect, not same species.

 
The way to connect images
without linking them, is to put thumbnails in the comment box. I've done this for you this time as an example.

Thank you, i apologize for the problem I've created.

 
no problem at all...
glad to help you figure it out.

It looks like it to me, but hopefully one of the spider experts will let you know for sure.
