An argument at the house about a spider I say is not a brown recluse it looks alot like one but white strips on back and longer thin body and butt. the but is pointed. We seem to have an abundance of them in and around our house. Just found one in the wood pile. Any ideas of what kind of spider it could be if not a brown recluse?

I've never heard of a Brown Recluse with your description.
I'd have to say it isn't a Brown Recluse, but I can't say what it is.
Here's some information.. but the way I've never heard of large amounts of those spiders found in any one place.

Sounds like the spiders we get at our house from time to time. Do they move really really fast? I thought a friend told me they were "wolf" spiders, but now that I think about it he might have said "wood". You can do a search on line and get pictures - I'd help you with that, but spiders give me the creeps, even pictures of them!
I think brown recluses have fat round butts, but I could be wrong. They all scare the begesus out of me!

No, brown recluse spiders are not marked like the
ones you describe. The most likely things would
be either one of the striped wolf spiders or one of
the funnel-web spiders of the genus Agelenopsis
or a related genus.
