4/25/24: A whole home dehumidifier has been installed upstairs next to the air handler since the last service call see photos below. The lanai still needs to be cleaned, there is still a pile of insulation on the floor & the few spots of paint cleaned off the tile by the sliding glass doors. Client advised these will all be addressed during the next walkthrough. 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. New roof construction has not changed in appearance since the last service call. Mini fridge in the dining room was on & cold. Did not see any evidence of bees on the inside of the lanai. Exterior of car is dirty & will need to be washed when client returns.4/25/24: The dehumidifier read 40%.
