The pool has a great deal of debris in it. It looks like maybe the pool pavers were power washed and some of it got into the pool, photos below.All of the blinds are open and there is a lock box on the door so I’m assuming it’s either up for sale or soon will be.

The water main valve under the sink in the master bathroom is now leaking all the time that it is turned on. I changed out the paper towel and put more a new paper towel under it after I shut it off and it was not leaking at that time. However, I just don’t think you should trust that valve much longer. It’s time to think about changing it out.
