7/27/23: Pool house temperature is 81.2 and humidity is 43.5%. In Water heater is an on demand unit. The water must remain on so client can fill the pool remotely. The pool level is managed by the homeowner remotely. I made sure all water faucets and toilets were not running. Photos of weeds growing in the stones around the house below. The sand bags have began to break down, reported previously. The utility room sink is leaking at the trap. The garbage disposal is frozen. I cannot get it to spin. I look for a wrench, but did not find one.7/27/23: I poured 4oz of ounces of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and chased with water. The shade fell that was over the slider, photo below.
7/27/23: I removed the spent Damp-Rid bags from the closets. I did not see any replacement bags. I double bagged these Damp-Rid bags and placed them in the trash container in the kitchen, which also has a bag. This is not over thinking it I’ve seen these bags break and they make one heck of a mess. So much so that it’s my policy not to carry them out in my vehicles, I’ve ruined too many carpets.
7/27/23: The outer room readings are 59.3% humidity and 85.6° temp. I see no reason to make any changes today. These are acceptable numbers. The smoke detector is chirping in the master bedroom indicates the battery is weak. The thermostat is reading 80° and it is set at 80° Which is fine however, the humidity is reading under 60% and the system is not shutting off. I am concerned that the humiditstat is not working properly. Again, this is no issue. It just means you’re right your electric bill be higher.

Storm shutters on lanai are closed.
7/27/23: There are more dirty ants, and mainly now around the windows in both bedrooms. I still have yet to see a live ant. I did notice that there are many many many ants outside around your unit and until those are treated and taking care of you not gonna be able to take care of anything inside. I have a few photos below.

Wine cooler in dining room read 54/46. The upstairs tv room & several stairs are missing carpet. Storm shutters on lanai are closed.

I inspected but did not touch the moisture deflector for the coils on the HVAC air handler, still appears to be working, no water dripping onto the top of the water heater. Saw a half dozen gecko droppings but did not see/find a gecko. The coils on the HVAC air handler appear to be frosting up which is I think a preliminary issue before it freezes up, photo below.
7/27/23: New roof construction progress photo below.
7/27/23: Master bathroom sink leaks at the bottom of the ball where the threads meet from the P-trap. I have tagged both the Fossett and underneath where the leak is coming from. There’s a tree down below there so it looks like maybe this leaked before?
