Lower back wall of master bedroom has not yet been repaired. I found live larvae I. The MB toilet, photo below. I poured a n ounce or two into the toilet and let set before flushing.

1/10/24: The car maintainer light had power. I found that the GFI under the electrical panel had been tripped. The shutters look installed proper. I even chose a few to close by running back and forth on their tracks. There was a box from Chewy at the front door. I placed it in the garage. The toilets and the master bathroom tub water came out tinted brown. I had to run the tub several minutes before it cleared. I flushed each toilet 4 times before they cleared up.
1/10/24: The pool draws from the bottom drain of the pool according to the homeowner. Rolled hurricane shutters up.
1/10/24: Poured 8oz of Nuline down the ac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. The humidity level was well under 60% inside the residence when I arrived after making the last adjustment. I raised the thermostat back up to 73 & the humidistat to 55% for now to save energy. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Will pour 8ozs of Nuline down the ac condensate drain line every 90 days for preventative maintenance if applicable. Checked all damp rid buckets.
1/10/24: The humidity level was below 60% inside the residence again. I raised the thermostat to 72 for now to save energy. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Storm damaged garage overhead door is waiting to be replaced.
1/10/24: Neighbors car is temporarily parked in driveway. Both garbage cans were down by the street for collection when I arrived. The neighbor stated they would put them back on the side of the house after they have been collected. There was a permit concerning electrical work laying on the ground by the front of the house. I taped it to the front of the house for now where it is visible for the inspector. There is a small pile of debris on the bottom of the pool see photos below. A few plants in the front landscape bed on the left side of the driveway appear to be dying see photo below. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence again from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 70 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Plants on lanai are currently wet from rain. Mesh storm shutters are closed. Irrigation system is on.
1/9/24: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube chased by water. I watered 3 plants according to the plant moisture meter. All 3 under the enclosed lanai area. I brought one plant in from the lanai and placed it behind the storm screen.
1/9/24: Poured 4oz of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with 8 ounces of water. I plugged in the dishwasher as requested.
1/9/24: The circuit breaker for the kitchen nook and lanai has continuously tripped in the past, so I am leaving it off. You are out of vinegar. The thermostat was set to 70, I called the crusty to discuss.
1/9/24: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. The tire low warning light is on for the tires. All look pretty good. Maybe the front passenger tire is a little low. Guest bathtub drain covered with cellophane. The toilets have cellophane covering the bowls.
1/9/24: Home under renovation from flood damage. It appears they are getting the kitchen ready for Sheetrock and then cabinets. Insurance policy in the mail will forward to customer. Photos of progress below.
1/9/24: The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustment. I raised the thermostat to 70 for now to save energy. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Made sure to turn off all water mains when leaving.
1/9/24: I walked the house twice to ensure the water faucets were off to all showers, tubs, and toilets. The water supply to the toilet tanks are off at the valve. The humidity is higher than I like to see it. However, it’s a very humid day and temperatures outside are not even reaching the temperature set inside so the system isn’t running to remove the humidity from the air. The only remedy would be to keep the thermostat at 70° as a setting for temperature and run from the humidistat but even then many times it won’t run because of the temperature outside being lower than the temperature for the setting inside.
1/9/24: New roof construction & building facade progress photos below. Sections of roof & building facade are waiting to be finished. Ran the storm shutter up & down for preventative maintenance. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence again when I arrived. I lowered the thermostat to 72 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The master bathroom right sink is tagged for a leaking trap when water is running only. Client advised they will repair it when they return. Mini fridge in dining room is off & doors open. Sections of drywall have been removed from the utility room & the bottom of the coat closet by the front door that are waiting to be replaced.
1/9/24: I watered all the plants on the lanai based on my plant moisture meter readings. I didn’t try to start the car because all it does is weaken the battery even more. The toilet in the bathroom that has a tub will not fill. The fill mechanism is broken. I am using a pan from the kitchen to fill the tank in order to flush the toilet. The front storm door doesn’t latch. The shower head in the bath with the shower is leaking at the wall, so it’s tagged not to run the shower. Also the toilet in that bathroom runs continuously and is tagged as such. I am using the pan mentioned above to fill the shower trap. The spot on the ceiling in the hall above the thermostat appears to have gotten larger to me but it does not look to be wet or darker, reported previously. Could it be the spot bleeding through the paint? There was several aluminum pans from the carport out back that must have been damaged during a recent storm we had, previously reported. The lock on the front door was getting difficult to put the key in so I sprayed it a little with WD-40 which really helps. The one is extremely high today and the pan ceiling above the shed and the carpet outback is lifting quite a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if another piece or two blows off. We are expecting some severe storms tonight. The batteries in the thermostat were weak as indicated by a error on the thermostat so I chose to replace them with batteries from the remote for the TV.
1/9/24: Did not find any water underneath the windows during today’s service call. New roof construction & building facade progress photos below.

1/9/24: The top right corner of the left side front door was held up on the other door & difficult to open when I arrived.
