1/4/23: Pool pump draws from the bottom drain per client. The humidity is high and I really believe this is because of the setting on the thermostat and the fact the temperature just isn’t getting hot enough during the day to warm up the inside enough for the system to run frequently so I turned the thermostat down to 76°. And then waited to make sure that the system is cooling and it was. Screens on the pool cage have been repaired and the downspout has been placed back on the left side of the garage.1/4/23: The water main valve to the home does not have a handle so there’s no way to turn the water off. Off is the position I prefer. Since we can’t turn it off I walked the house twice to make sure all faucets, valves and toilets were not running. The thermostat is indicating that the battery is low so I put a brand new battery in it and it’s still indicating that it’s low I’m not sure what’s going on there. I turn the thermostat down to 77° because the humidity is too high inside the house and then I waited to make sure that the system came on and cooled. The system is cooling out about 64° coming out the vents. If you have remote control of the thermostat there in Ohio I would keep this thermostat at 76 to 77°. By the time I left the humidity had already dropped 2%.
1/4/23: Drive by. Brought all important mail to the post office for forwarding. Photo of the receipt with tracking number below.
1/4/23: I watered 2 plants on the lanai based on the moisture meter results. I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then chased by water. The humidity is higher than I like to see it and actually while I was here on the thermostat a warning came up and said that the humidity is above 61% action should be taken. I think that having the thermostat somewhere between 74 and 76 is warranted based upon a little bit of heat that we have outside this time of year the system just isn’t running frequently enough.
1/4/23: Poured 4oz of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with 8 ounces of water. Re-staked the front tree for the 5th time. FaceTime the humidity is much higher than I like to see so I turn the thermostat down to 73° from 75°. I’m a little unsure as to whether the thermostat is calibrated properly because both my hygrometer and my infrared temperature gauge have the temperature at the thermostat around 76.5°. In any event I made sure that you had cooler air coming from your fence below 64°.
1/4/23: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then chased with water.
1/4/23: Home under renovation from flood damage. Someone has been inside because the lock box numbers where scrambled and I set them at 5555 when I leave. The master bath toilet tank is leaking very slightly but it doesn’t matter because the tank valve is turned off.
1/4/23: Water heater fitting damp and corroded at threads as reported previously. Gopher tortoise hole under the one corner of the pool cage is active. The right kitchen sink trap is leaking at the metal sink nut, photo below. Photo below of ceiling moisture just outside the utility closet in the living room area, appears to be a little bit more prevalent.
1/4/23: After speaking with the client we determined that I should drive by to shut off items that would draw power when the electric company turned the electricity on. This was suggested by the electric company however when I got here the power was already on.
1/4/23: There is some digging on the side yard next to the garage, photo below. It appears to be an armadillo. I have included several photos at the bottom depicting the amount of items still needing repair from the hurricane. The humidity is higher than even the last time so I turn the humidistat to 50 and the thermostat to 75° to help mitigate the humidity.
1/4/23: I watered all the plants one inside and the other is on the outside lanai. I started the car and it idled during the service call. It appears there is no electricity to the inside of the home. I could not turn any lights on, the refrigerator is off and defrosted, and I turn down the thermostat and the AC would not come on. I looked at the circuit breakers outside and couldn’t find any tripped breakers which leads me to believe that it may be the main power breaker that’s gone bad? I called the client to inform him so that he could figure a course of action prior to his arrival very soon. The outside power meter actually reads off, photo below.
1/4/23: The humidity is higher than I like to see it at 64% inside so I turn the thermostat down to 75° and to ensure the AC system would run. I did make sure the system was cooling, air coming from the vents read under 65° on several of the vents I checked. They should mitigate the humidity issue. Work out back is progressing.
1/4/23: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube then chased with some water. You are out of vinegar. Brought in several pieces of mail none appeared important. I turned the thermostat down to 74° to help mitigate the humidity which read 62% on my meter and 65% on your thermostat. I waited for the system to come on and run for several minutes and then I tested the temperature of the air coming out of the supply vent and it is under 63°, so it is cooling. Pool filter housing leaking slightly.
