Giant House Spider

At least I think that's what this is. I posted it to iNaturalist, hopefully someone will identify it. It could also be a Domestic House Spider (aka Barn Funnel Weaver). Although the body wasn't that large, the legs spanned a good two inches (5 cm), one of the bigger spiders I've seen around here. It showed up just as we were finishing our evening. I photographed it and then escorted it to the door.

Giant House Spider ?

Apparently, this is the time of year when the males wander in search of females. The females only leave their nest to feed.
