Made sure the water heater, range & ice maker were off. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence.

4/27/23: 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 found six tripped circuit breakers. I reset each. I found the master bedroom ceiling light on, and the front bedroom ceiling light on. More than likely that’s because I reset the circuit breakers for each. There is a picture below, showing you each of the except breakers. This was not a power failure, because the clocks on the appliances were not flashing. I told a few on dozen of weed from pool/lanai area.

The key box numbers were mixed so I know someone had been there. I always set the numbers back to 5555. The humidity inside is borderline high.
