The left side shower head in the master bathroom shower does not work. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain lines for preventative maintenance.

The valve works very hard, and I was only able to get it closed partially, but it did stop the flow of water, photo below. This valve may become an issue and should probably be Repaired before it breaks. I found the washer valves already in the off position. I turn the humidistat to 55%. I found some dead small ants on the windowsill of the master bedroom, photo below. I’m not sure if this is recent or something that has just been there for a while so we’ll monitor it next service call. I open the dishwasher for ventilation to insure that it’s dry.

8/17/23: Raised and lowered the hurricane shutters. Water the 3 plants on the lanai as requested. One does not appear to be doing too well, reported previously. Checked all the GFIs. The humidity is good downstairs but a bit high upstairs I believe that is because the air conditioner is running more in the afternoon, but short cycling as the thermostat is set to 75 and today it reaches just to 75. Which means it shuts down and then starts up and such down and then starts up, which helps actually build humidity in the afternoon. The only way to mitigate this would be for us to move the thermostat even further down so that it runs until the humidity is removed, then shuts off not the other way around. The humidity doesn’t have a chance to be removed before the thermostat temperature is reached and the system shuts down, but even at today’s humidity level it isn’t critical. I told a Home Team pest control sign dated 8/16/23 from your yard.
