5/9/23: The pool water level was back up to the optimal level of half the top skimmer port. Mini fridge in living room was on & cold. Unable to access the breaker panel as the whole home surge protector has been installed directly underneath the lid to the breaker panel preventing it from being opened.

Made sure the garage overhead door was closed when leaving.5/9/23: Brought in one piece of mail see photo below. Made sure the water heater & range were off. The pool water was slightly cloudy when i arrived photo below. Watered the new palm trees. Will bring some new ac air filters & a package of toilet bowl cleaner on the next service call. Removed the lockbox from the front door. Turned the water main off to the house only when leaving.
5/9/23: Garbage disposal is seized & i’m unable to free it. Soffits damaged in several locations around the house. One of the pool cage screens over the left side door is damaged & being held in place with tape. A section of pool pavers appears to be sinking on the right side of the pool. Clear storm shutter panels are on over the dining room windows. Left the water main on when leaving.
5/9/23: Put both empty garbage cans back inside the garage. A section of metal facia from the back left corner of the house was laying on the ground when I arrived see photos below. Made sure the water heater, range & ice maker were off. The gfi outlet that the battery maintainer in the garage is plugged into was tripped. I reset it restoring power to the battery maintainer. Monitoring all previous water stains on the ceilings closely. Pool cage is missing from hurricane. Screen door for sliding glass doors on lanai is damaged.
5/9/23: Faint water stain on garage ceiling by light fixture has not changed in appearance. Electric pole in backyard is leaning. Did not find any pool service slips on the lanai or in the green box. Ran the outside shower. Both lanai screen doors are locked.
5/9/23: Made sure the water heater, range & ice maker were off. Ran all faucets & showers on the hot side during the entire service call to prevent odors from building up in the water heater per client. Storm shutter on lanai is open. Both screen doors are unlocked. Holes in ground along seawall are being addressed.
5/9/23: I hope the battery maintainer up to the car. The humidity inside is a bit high so I turn the thermostat from 78° to 76°. The temperature of the air coming out of the vents right above the thermostat is 65° so the system is cooling. I stayed several minutes longer to ensure that the humidity was coming down inside before I left. It came down a percent and a half in five minutes fan so that was pretty good I think.
5/9/23: Both chargers for vehicles in the garage had power and lights. The door between the condo and the garage was ajar about an inch.
5/9/23: Brought a new 100’ heavy duty water hose & replaced the damaged hose for the pool water auto filler see photos below. There is a small section of roof shingles laying in the gutters by the front entrance. The lawn has some brown spots in the backyard. Visual check of the boat photo below. Activated the alarm system when leaving. Turned off the water main to the house & made sure the hose for the pool auto filler was on when leaving.
5/9/23: Spline coming out of the groove in the corner of the lanai, photo below.
5/9/23: The water main valve to the home does not have a handle so there’s no way to turn the water off. Off is the position I prefer. Since we can’t turn it off I walked the house twice to make sure all faucets, valves and toilets were not running. I pulled a frozen plus weeds on the lanai.
5/9/23: Checked all light timers. Several small sections of the roof are tarped for missing shingles. A window is broken in the Florida room & is temporarily covered. Facia damage on back of house. Water damage on garage ceiling. Did not run any water inside the residence per the client. Watered all the potted plants with the water bottles provided.

5/9/23: I found 2 dead wasps in the master bedroom on the floor, photo of one below.
5/9/23: Brought in three pieces of mail see photo below. The paint is starting to peel from the wood soffits on the right side of the house.
5/9/23: I watered 8 total plants out on the pool deck and 1 out front. 3 small lamps up front were on upon entry. I notified the client he reset the timers remotely. I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube chased by water.
5/9/23: Made sure the water heater & range were off. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived. I lowered the thermostat to 79 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Both screen doors are locked. All shutters are closed.
5/9/23: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. The thermostat is turned up 1 degree to 78 from the last service call.
5/9/23: There was no mail in the mailbox. I connected the battery maintainer to the car. The thermostat fan was set to on. It should be set to auto. Humidity builds extremely high inside if it is set to the on position rather than the auto position. So you can see now by the reading that you have 66.5% humidity which is way too high. I set the thermostat to 72° the fan to auto and the humidistat to 50. The settings should certainly help the humidity and keep it where it needs to be, which is under 60%. It may not be a bad idea for me to stop back in next week just to ensure that the humidity has been gotten under control. Please advise. The right side master bath sink drains very slowly. I have tagged it as such to remind us. The garbage disposal is frozen. There is a spot along the back top wall of the master bedroom closet, photo below. This was here last year if I recall, so this photo is just a baseline for this year. The screen to one of the windows in the living room has a hole in it, photo below. I remove the alkaline batteries from each of the remotes so that they don’t corrode over the summer.
5/9/23: The hall smoke detector was not beeping upon arrival. Now the smoke detector in the living room in the coved ceiling is beeping saying low battery. Could it be that both were beeping last time and I just didn’t catch it? Anyhow, I can’t reach the cove ceiling smoke detector due to the additional 14 to 16 inches higher and trying to use your step stool. I will bring my ladder next service call. The browning in the backyard of the grass is about the same.
5/9/23: Made sure all breakers with a green sticker were off. A portion of the master bedroom window is temporarily being held in place with gorilla tape due to dry rotted plastic retaining clips. Monitoring the water stain above the garage overhead door closely.

Was unable to check the detached garage as there appeared to be a lot of heavy items laying against the inside of the overhead door when I attempted to open it.
