10/13/22: The humidity inside was a bit high although it’s very humid outside as well and has been for a while now I believe this time of year would be better for us to have that thermostat set to 77° or 78. I said it’s 77 for today because it’s so high the humidity that is next time if it’s lower I’ll move that thermostat up to 78. What’s happening is that the outside air temperature is reaching the mid 80s on a bright sunny day on a cloudy day less than that so the system just doesn’t run in the humidity builds up if it doesn’t run. I did wait around to check to see what the temperature was coming out of the nearest supplies at it was in the mid 60s and as it runs it will only get colder so that’s good.10/13/22: Couldn’t run water through exterior fridge door it just wouldn’t come out as reported previously. Did not run water through garbage disposal but did run the disposal for 2 seconds. I found a visible sign of structural damage to the lanai cage. What their what is their appears to have been there prior to the storm in that condition. I move the thermostat back up to 77° as the humidity is acceptable.
10/12/22: Home under renovation from flood damage. Lanai damaged from storm. Pool very cloudy and dirty. I did not activate the alarm. I did not lock the door between the garage and home as that is how I found it. I closed all blinds as requested.
10/12/22: There was mail but none appeared to be important. The garbage disposal is frozen as reported previously. The master bath shower head only dribbles as previously. There are two screens that have been damaged but it appears the screen is fairly old and should be replaced and most exterior windows and doors. The water heater was on I turned it off at the circuit breaker. And somebody has already come in and turn down the humidistat from 55 to 48. There’s a spot in the front bedroom near the bay window. This window which had leaked prior to the storm and was previously reported. The spot is on the wall in the corner photo below. It appears there’s been some water damage there but I’m not sure that it is from the storm or if it was there prior to. In any event it looks like just that it’s been dried and if so you can just paint over it.
10/12/22: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then chased with water.
10/12/22: I watered all 8 plants on the lanai as indicated I should by the soil moisture meter. The thermostat was set to 75 and I kept it there as clients arrive this week. I turned on the water heater rat the circuit breaker and left the water main on per client’s request. One piece of mail looked important, see photo below. The door between the garage and home was not locked, I locked it. The issue with the water valve on the lanai was the sprayer head was in between settings once I turned it to spray or jet it worked.

The pool pump motor actually sounds better today, I will send a video via text. The metal item on or inside the doorway is a rain gutter diverter. I took a photo of one that is still intact above the garage door and a picture of where I think this one actually came from next to the front door screened area, photos below.
