3/20/24: The pool pump is set to pull water from the bottom center drain. I found a few items out on the counter and a bit out of place I think. So I took photos and if you’d like me to put things away next time, just tell me where or how I turn the water heater off at the circuit breaker as well as the range. The water main was on upon arrival and I shut it off upon departure. As far as the overall condition it appears as they did a fairly good cleaning job there are a few things that I noticed but not very bad job at all really. The armadillo is back.
3/20/24: The car battery maintainer light had power. I had to flush the guest toilet several times to clear the water, it had a brown tinge to it. The alarm pad next tot the garage door beeps lightly every minute or so.

3/20/24: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. Guest bathtub drain covered with cellophane. The toilets have cellophane covering the bowls. The tire indicator light for low tire(s) is lit on the dash. The tires in front appear to need a little air but not so much that the car leans or they are flat. The water is smelling a bit, the hot water side of the system should be ran for a while to clear this up.
3/20/24: Home under renovation from flood damage. No work being done today, home locked and vacant. I cannot see anything that has changed since last week with the exception to the floor tile in bathroom, photo below. The pool pump only has one timer nub so as far as I can tell the pump runs 24 hours then is off for 24 hours. Should have the pool company check that. Pool is daily clean but has a lot on the top of the water in what appears to be tiny bugs, probably because of the skimmer and pump issue.
