1/9/24: The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustment. I raised the thermostat to 70 for now to save energy. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Made sure to turn off all water mains when leaving.1/9/24: I walked the house twice to ensure the water faucets were off to all showers, tubs, and toilets. The water supply to the toilet tanks are off at the valve. The humidity is higher than I like to see it. However, it’s a very humid day and temperatures outside are not even reaching the temperature set inside so the system isn’t running to remove the humidity from the air. The only remedy would be to keep the thermostat at 70° as a setting for temperature and run from the humidistat but even then many times it won’t run because of the temperature outside being lower than the temperature for the setting inside.
1/9/24: New roof construction & building facade progress photos below. Sections of roof & building facade are waiting to be finished. Ran the storm shutter up & down for preventative maintenance. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence again when I arrived. I lowered the thermostat to 72 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The master bathroom right sink is tagged for a leaking trap when water is running only. Client advised they will repair it when they return.

1/9/24: I watered all the plants on the lanai based on my plant moisture meter readings. I didn’t try to start the car because all it does is weaken the battery even more. The toilet in the bathroom that has a tub will not fill. The fill mechanism is broken. I am using a pan from the kitchen to fill the tank in order to flush the toilet. The front storm door doesn’t latch. The shower head in the bath with the shower is leaking at the wall, so it’s tagged not to run the shower. Also the toilet in that bathroom runs continuously and is tagged as such. I am using the pan mentioned above to fill the shower trap. The spot on the ceiling in the hall above the thermostat appears to have gotten larger to me but it does not look to be wet or darker, reported previously. Could it be the spot bleeding through the paint? There was several aluminum pans from the carport out back that must have been damaged during a recent storm we had, previously reported. The lock on the front door was getting difficult to put the key in so I sprayed it a little with WD-40 which really helps. The one is extremely high today and the pan ceiling above the shed and the carpet outback is lifting quite a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if another piece or two blows off. We are expecting some severe storms tonight. The batteries in the thermostat were weak as indicated by a error on the thermostat so I chose to replace them with batteries from the remote for the TV.
