10/26/22: I walked the house twice at the end to be sure all valves and showers were off. I also made sure the toilets were not running either. I do this because the water main is to stay on. The bush/tree out front is leaning even more, as reported previously. The water has a sulfuric smell to it indicating the anode bar in the water heater may need replaced. The other temporary solution would be to flush the tank or run the hot side water only for an hour to an hour and a half to flush the tank prior to anyone coming down to occupy the home. There are two commercial blowers in your home one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. As well there is a commercial dehumidifier in the center of the living room floor. The lanai slider door was open about an inch and a half to 2 inches, photo below. There is evidence of insulation in just about every room of the house garage where there’s quite a bit puzzled as to why. The attic access door in the MB closet is not quite closed. completely. I’m also puzzled as to why the blower is in the master bedroom with the door closed but the must have a reason. Photos of the ceiling holes below.10/26/22: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. I found several dozen dead blank ants on the window side of the master bedroom and on the window sills, photos below. I swept what I could see but did not move furniture to sweep under. Next service call I will determine if this was a one time thing or an ongoing problem.

10/26/22: There still is a slight thin film of moisture in the upstairs closet. The humidity is just over 60% so that’s acceptable however I would like to see it under that. The dehumidifier upstairs was not running when I walked in and it was reading 65. I turned it off and then back on they began to run. There was no water that I could see in the hose itself which indicates it hasn’t been running and pulling moisture. When I completed the service call I went upstairs to set the alarm the humidifier was still running

10/26/22: I close the garage door to find some ceiling spots that I didn’t see the last time I was here. I looked outside the tile have not been repaired and so this may be additional damage and rain that we’ve had or it could be just spots that are showing now and didn’t before. Photos below. Those screens have been replaced on the lanai yet. The pool level is about 3/4 above the skimmer port so it needs to have some water put in the pool or change the pump so it dries from the bottom drain. I looked inside the front foyer and bedroom area we there is missing roof tiles to see if there was any ceiling damage. I could not find any. In the foyer I did see a spot that’s basically rectangular and more than likely that is a poor paint situation bleeding through but it’s only visible when I use my high powered lamp.
