Found inside my building / shed. Haven’t a clue what it is. Darker stipe down its back. Very long legs maybe 2 1/2 to 3 inches over all. Kind of a reddish brown color.

Close! It looks like a Nursery Web Spider, Pisaurina mira. They are related to fishing spiders and have many traits in common. This species is usually pinkish tan with a wide darker stripe down the back.
