There is a hairline crack in the stucco approximately 12” long below both the windows on the left side of the house. Some of the gutter downspouts around the residence may need some splash guards soon as the ground is starting to erode when it rains. Irrigation system is on. Left the water main on when leaving.11/2/23: Returned to make sure the water valve meter for filling the pool had shut off, it had.

11/2/23: Patio furniture is in place outback in the lanai area. The thermostat is set to 74°. The pool level is about 1 inch from the bottom of the skimmer port, so I put the hose in it and turn the water on using the water valve meter on the spigot.

Since the water was to remain on I walked the condo twice to ensure no water was running especially the toilets.
11/2/23: There was a sign taped to one of the windows on the front porch concerning painting when I arrived see photo below. Work appears to have started on the metal louvers over the garage windows since the last service call see photos below. Checked all damp rids. Had to empty & refill all small buckets. The previous water stain on the master bathroom ceiling above the bathtub has not changed in appearance. Will continue to monitor closely. All ceiling fans are off. Storm shutters on lanai are closed. Made sure the front door was completely closed & locked when leaving. Duct tape has been temporarily placed on the front door to prevent it from accidentally opening when nobody is present.
11/2/23: The pool is very low, almost to the bottom of the skimmer port. I will run the water into it while I provided other services then will come back to ensure the valve and water flow is off.

11/1/23: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with water. The guest bathroom sink was leaking at the top trap nut, photo with my finger pointing where it was leaking below. I tightened that plastic nut up about a quarter turn and it stopped. This is something that we should monitor closely.
11/1/23: The water main valve is to remain on automatic pool filter. I walked the home twice to make sure that all of the faucets and toilets were not running since the water main valve is to remain in the on position for the automatic pool filler.

I can do this for you the next time I’m here if you give me permission it’s $12 to replace it, which includes the batteries. There is at least one weed growing in the gutters, photo below.
11/1/23: Construction work being done inside. Placed Damp-Rod but let’s within the car as requested. The thermostat is set to 75° in the past. It has been set a bit higher, however, I’m assuming this is a left at the setting for the contractor?
