The pool pump filter canister lid was leaking while the pool pump was running. Bird droppings on lanai floor. Rusted metal banding on the front left corner of the house.

Left the water main on when leaving.6/25/24: The top of the island has been changed. The pool still has a great deal of debris on the bottom related to cleaning the pool pavers I’m sure, photo below. The front screen has not been repaired not sure if you remembered. The pool auto fill has not been put back on as of today.
6/25/24: Water is to remain off. Irrigation system was running in the back right corner when I arrived. Could it be the previous owner reset it already?

Covering the drains is not necessary as running water every two weeks fills all the traps preventing sewer gases & pest from entering the residence as well as pushing everything back. Checked all damp rid bags throughout the residence. Damp rid bags are not recommended as they are prone to leaking causing irreversible damage. Checked light timer in the living room.

6/25/24: Met county inspector for mini split. Jammed overhead garage door, found it locked at both ends and power to the opener. My suggestion is one or the other to prevent accurate to the opener. If locking the door is desired the opener should be unplugged. If the opener is to have power the door shouldn’t be locked, the opener becomes the locking mechanism. The mini split does not appear to be working.

The bath sinks do not have overflow drain. I discovered the faucet drips even when it’s off, this is why the sink filled.
