Watered the orchid on the front porch. All storm shutters are closed. Closed the storm shutter over the front door when leaving.
8/18/22: When I first open the door I realized that we didn’t have any AC. Went to the thermostat there was no display on the thermostat. I checked all circuit breakers they were not tripped. And then looked at the condensate tube overflow switch to find water sitting in that tube, photo below. This indicates that the tube is plugged in needs to be completely cleaned out by a service tech. I called the homeowner I did not get an answer but did leave a voicemail.

8/18/22: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube then chased with 8oz of water. Poured an ounce of bleach in each toilet. I move the humidistat from 55 to 50% due to the higher humidity today inside your home.
