11/14/23: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. Guest bathtub drain covered with cellophane. Your water is beginning to smell a bit like rotten eggs, which is normally caused by the annoyed bar or rod in your water heater, needing to be replaced. You can either have it replaced or when you come back run the hot water side of the system until the smell dissipates. The guest bedroom smoke detector is chirping, which indicates that you have a low battery that needs to be replaced.11/14/23: Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance.
