10/31/23: I brought the garbage can into the garage. The water heater circuit breaker was on and I shut it off as there is no need to heat water that will not be used while it’s vacant. The carpets are still damp. The thermostat is set to 75° which I would normally suggest we have it set to 78° but probably not a bad idea to keep it a little lower until the carpets dry completely.10/31/23: New roof construction progress photo below. There was a service slip from amplified termite & pest dated 10/18 on the kitchen counter when I arrived photo below. Large sections of drywall have been removed from the wall’s in the master bedroom, dining room, guest bedroom & are waiting to be repaired.

10/31/23: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. Guest bathtub drain covered with cellophane. Your water is beginning to smell a bit like rotten eggs, which is normally caused by the annoyed bar or rod in your water heater, needing to be replaced.

10/31/23: I watered all the plants on the lanai based on my plant moisture meter readings. I started the car and let it idle during the service call. 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?

10/31/23: 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. I lowered the thermostat to 75 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The last of the vinegar provided for the ac condensate drain line has been used & more bottles of toilet bowl cleaner are needed throughout the residence. A new ac condensate drain line cleaner product called Nuline is recommended.
