11/1/24: I am unable to raise the hurricane shutters. I watered the 4 plants on the lanai as requested. Checked all the GFIs. I am unable to fit between the car and tool box to get in front of the electrical panel, reported previously. I could not see any tripped breakers from beyond the car. The pool level was about 1/3 the skimmer report so I ran water while I was providing the service. There are two smoke detectors that are beeping which indicates they need their batteries replaced. One is at the bottom of the stairs and the other is the upstairs smoke detector. The upstairs air conditioner is holding its own as far as temperature and humidity. The air coming from the supply lines is just about 80°, which isn’t efficient. I tested the front door keyless entry. It worked just fine. The garage door brace remains in place.11/1/24: You have two separate dents in the gutters front and back of the garage, the front one has some minor tile damage, reported previously. The two previous ceiling concerns have not changed as far as I can tell. The light in the garage was on and the door between the house and garage was not locked. The pool level is below the skimmer port. The sight glass for the pool pump is filled to the top. Looks like the pool pump is pulling from a bottom drain. Put a hose in the pool to fill it. I kept the water on because of this. Homeowner’s neighbor will watch and shut off later. There appears to be a small leak in the pool pump area, photo below.
11/1/24: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and chased with water. Evidence of drain back up in the master bath shower, reported previously.
11/1/24: The alarm system panel had numerous alerts on the screen concerning low batteries in all of the sensors when I arrived. The sensors on all of the windows & doors do not appear to use batteries & are hardwired in to the same outlet in the man cave closet. I replaced all four AA batteries in the front door keypad with brand new batteries but it was still showing a low battery alert. I rebooted the security system gateway as well but the alerts remained on the screen. Client will address the situation when they return. The holes in the exterior wall from the storm damaged satellite dish on the right side of the house are temporarily covered with duct tape. Client will address when they return. The deadbolt on the mancave exterior french doors has a lot of play in it causing the doors to move approximately 1/4” when it is windy. I placed a bag of salt in front of the doors for now to keep them from moving. Client will address when they return. The plastic gutter downspout extension on the right side of the house is damaged. Did not step on any of the loose tile areas in the kitchen. All ceiling fans are off. Monitoring all old water stains on the ceilings closely. Checked all light timers. Both lanai screen doors are locked. Water softener salt container is empty. Green slip in mailbox.
11/1/24: I walked the house twice to ensure all water faucets were off and the toilet valves were off as well. I do this because the water main to the home must remain on for the pool auto fill. The ceiling spots mentioned int the previous report are the same. Screens remain damaged from the storms, a company is scheduled for today to repair. The pool is extremely low, the water valve to the auto fill was off, it turned it back on. I will return at the end of the day to see if it filled correctly. There are many leaves on the lanai and in the pool because of the damaged screens. The OxyClean bottle that was sitting next to the utility sink has leaked, see photo. I put it inside the sink. The garage door brace remains in place.

11/1/24: The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived from the ac sitting idle longer throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures.

11/1/24: There is damage to the lanai cage and screen, photo below, reported just after the storm. The tree out front is still down photo below. The circuit breaker #30 for the Jazz Heater was tripped I just turned it off as it is likely not necessary. There was a Say No To Bugs slip in the door, photo below. It appears the two can lights on the lanai lost the glass as there is one on the carpet and one broken all over the lanai, photos below.
