1/18/24: New roof construction has not changed in appearance since the last service call. Checked the water pan in the ac return vent.1/18/24: There appears to have been some activity inside the residence since the last service call. There was a new ac air filter sitting next to the ac return vent when I arrived & the old filter dated 8-1-23 is still in the vent see photo below. The humidity level was still over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence. I found the ac condensate drain line on the right side of the air handler was being held up by a wad of paper towels which moved out from underneath it causing it to come loose & drooping down which filled the safety float switch tripping it & shutting the ac system off. I lifted the drain pipe back up & propped it level again enabling the ac system to turn back on see photos below. Will contact the client & advise them of the situation. I had to lower the thermostat to 66 & raised the humidistat back up to 50% for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Ran two cups of water through the fridge door. Drained water from system after water was turned off.
1/18/24: The new kitchen sink faucet has extremely low water pressure. All of the supply valves underneath the sink appear to be open. I have tagged it as such.

Did not see any evidence of bees on the inside of the lanai.

1/18/24: The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence again when I arrived. I found the thermostat has been raised to 75 since the last service call causing the ac to sit idle for too long throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 68 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Torn window screen has not been replaced yet. The garage overhead door needs new weather stripping on the bottom as light is starting to shine through allowing leaves etc to pass underneath the door. Checked all damp rid buckets.

1/18/24: The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures.

1/17/24: Met with Shelly rochon to pick up a baby playpen & ac technician Nick from Tri county air conditioning. I let Nick into the residence for ac system maintenance & stayed with him until he was finished. Nick stated that the ac system was working correctly & recommended not using the humidistat as they do not render any energy savings. I made sure the ac system was working correctly & everything was locked up when leaving. 4:00pm-6:00pm. Swept gecko droppings off the lanai. New roof construction appears complete. There are still sections of building facade waiting to be repaired. Water stains in the dining room were dry to the touch & have not changed in appearance. Will continue to monitor closely.

1/17/24: There has been some digging in the landscape , mainly the mulch was moved around. This is consistent with an armadillo searching for grubs. You also have a hole dug on the right side of your garage that appears an armadillo tried to dig but ran into the foundation and quit, photo below. The water main was on upon arrival. I am certain it was off the last time I was here because I place my truck keys on it so as not to forget to turn it off. I cannot drive away without it being off.
