10/11/23: When I first got here, the AC would not run and the temperature was 89° inside. Thinking it may be a plugged AC drain line. I vacuumed it out. Below is a photo of what came out. After the vacuuming of the drain line the AC began to run and cool. This should eliminate the need for an AC company to come by anytime before you come down or longer. Because it takes extra time and tools to provide this service I charge an additional $20 however I believe it probably saved you $100-$150 for a HVAC tech service call and drain cleaning.10/11/23: Photo below of some bug activity, more than likely ants, behind the top colored recliner in the den. Something is beeping about every 60 seconds from the top shelf of the closet next to the thermostat. It sounded it first much like the beeping from a smoke detector but it’s not that. I cannot determine exactly what it is, but I think it’s the Xfinity box. In any event, I do not think it is of great concern as far as the home is concerned. There are no tripped breakers.
10/11/23: The master bathroom toilet continues to run. The fill tub gasket is not seating so the tank will not fill. The tank is off at the valve. The tank is tagged with this information.
10/11/23: The right side kitchen sink is leaking at the bottom nut, reported previously. Sink is tagged with yellow note about this leak. Your bed frame is coming apart, reported previously. The master bathroom shower head is becoming corroded and will need some cleaning, photo below.
10/11/23: Master bathroom sink leaks at the bottom of the ball where the threads meet from the P-trap. I have tagged both the faucet and underneath where the leak is coming from. I found multi colored brown granules just inside the front door to the right across from the closet that is next to the thermostat. I could see no ant activity, or bug activity of all lonely, kind, but there was a lot across from that closet and some along the wall where the closets at. There is a little bubbling on the wall next to that closet on the paint photo below it’s worth taking a look at maybe buy pest control. Photos of all below. I can tell you that this wasn’t there two weeks ago because it actually made you lose footing a bit when you walk through it. The water main valve was on upon arrival, as well the deadbolt was not locked on the door. I turned the water heater on at the circuit breaker as requested.
10/11/23: Drive by. Brought all important mail to the post office for forwarding. Photo of the receipt with tracking number below.
10/11/23: Pool house temperature is 78.9 and humidity is 50.9%. I found several dead bugs on the floor and 3 live black ants which I killed. The sand bags at the door are shredded, just the sand remains, reported previously. Water heater is an on demand unit. The water must remain on so client can fill the pool remotely. The pool level is managed by the homeowner remotely. I made sure all water faucets and toilets were not running. The utility room sink is leaking at the trap, it has been tagged. The thermostat was set to 78 not 77, but based on the humidity level today I kept it at 78. It appears the pool pump was changed out, photos below. I found a drowned baby bunny in the pool. It appears some weeds in the back have been sprayed and are dead/dying. Photos of some of the weeds that are growing in the yard.
10/11/23: Drive by. Brought the important mail document to the post office for forwarding. Photo of the receipt with tracking number below.

10/10/23: The vinegar provided for the ac condensate drain line is starting to get low. A new condensate drain line cleaner product called Nuline is recommended.

10/10/23: Weeds are starting to grow next to the pool see photos below. The pool company arrived to clean the pool while I was at the residence. 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. Client advised breaker panel lid has to be unscrewed to open. Dock is waiting to be repaired. All accordion storm shutters are closed. Made sure the garage overhead door was closed when leaving.

Black ant activity in master bathroom along window next to bathtub has increased. The right side handle on the master bathroom left side sink is tagged for not turning off when running the water. I had to turn the supply valve off underneath the sink for now. Garbage disposal is seized & i’m unable to free it. Soffits damaged in several locations around the house. 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.
10/10/23: Weeds & grass are building up in all the landscape beds. A long section of metal facia has fallen on the right side of the house above the ac condenser & on the back left corner of the house. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the ac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Monitoring all previous water stains on the ceilings closely. All storm shutter panels are on. Put the key back inside the lockbox when leaving.
10/10/23: The garbage disposal was seized again when I arrived. I was able to free it using a disposal hex key. I sprayed some Wd40 on the blades to try & prevent it from seizing up again. The disposal may continue to seize as the protective coating has diminished from the blades causing them to rust. Ran all faucets & showers on the hot side during the entire service call to prevent odors from building up in the water heater. Checked all light timers. Storm shutter on lanai is open. Both screen doors are unlocked. There are some hairline step cracks in the exterior wall by the pool pump. Holes in ground along seawall are being addressed.

10/10/23: All of the weeds that were growing in the landscape beds have been weed whacked since the last service call. The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence since having the ac system repaired. I raised the humidistat to 50% for now to save energy. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. 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.

Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Both screen doors are locked. All shutters are closed.
10/10/23: Removed a truly nolen sign dated 9/13 from the front yard. The lawn company arrived to mow the lawn while I was inside the residence. The gutters around the outside of the residence will all need to be repaired or replaced. There is broken glass on the master bedroom closet floor from the closet shelves separating from the wall on one end falling several inches causing the glass to fall off the shelf. It may have transpired from a combination of the vibrations of the new roof being installed & the weight on the shelves. Garage side entry door temporarily boarded up. Water intrusion through microwave vent in kitchen that leaked on top of the stove & onto the floor.
