The ac condenser was off & I could not find any tripped breakers. The ac system appears to need maintenance at this time. Will contact the client & advise them of the situation. The lawn has excessive browning on the right side of the house. Brought in another large stack of important mail & sales flyers. Will be taking all important mail to the post office for forwarding.

The pool level was at 1/3 of the skimmer port so I ran water during the service call when I wasn’t watering plants. I watered all the plants around and in the pool cage. One plant does not look good today, report previously. I gave it extra water. Just so you know I soaked the welled area around those plants 3 times each, until the water starts running out. It has just been so hot this year in May. The pool slip I found on the lanai was dated 5/26/24. I turned each water heater on at the switch next to the tanks.
