1/1/25: The condo is under renovation from being flooded during Milton. The items identified and photographed that were outside underneath the carport are still outside. The humidity is very high that happens this time of year and thankfully you have a humidistat we can use to help mitigate that. Best thing to do is set the thermostat to 72°, which is about the lowest temperature we’ll have during any given day, but set the humidistat to something lower as I have here today at 35. What we’re trying to do is on cool days such as today when the temperature outside is only 73-74° once the temperature goes above 72° inside and the humidity is well above the setting of 35 the system will run and remove the humidity or until at least the temperature gets to 72° which ever comes first.1/1/25: All items that were inside the rooms are outside on the lanai, reported previously. The back slider door was not locked. I locked it. Secondly the lights were on in the master bath and the master bedroom. I shut them off. The thermostat is set to 70°. it is reading 70°. The humidistat is set to on which means that it’s running from the thermostat itself the fan for the air handler is set to on, which means it blows all the time. This is not something I agree with it should be on auto in my opinion. If what we’re trying to do is keep the humidity down that thermostat needs to be set to auto. Running the fan all the time creates humidity within the system and blows it out into the condo. That’s why at 70° in here you’re not getting the humidity is high.
1/1/25: Visual check of SUV outside is dirty but otherwise appears fine. The kitchen sink trap leaks, reported previously and tagged as such. The bushes out front could be trimmed it is actually dangerous to try to turn the water on/off without getting very scratched up, reported previously. The guest bathroom toilet is filling very slowly, so slow it did not fill up the entire time I was here. It will be necessary to fill the tank manually and I did. It is tagged as such. The other toilet runs continuously so I tagged it as such. This doesn’t pose a problem as I shut the water main off after each service call. I retrieved the mail today.
1/1/25: The dehumidifier in the guest bathroom, read 60 and had water in the tube/hose. The dehumidifier in the master bathroom, read 55 and had water in the tube/hose. There is a large trailer on the dry, photo below. I removed an undated Ugly Bug pest control sign from the front yard.
1/1/25: Soffit and fence damage reported previously remains in the same condition. The homeowner maintains the pool level remotely. The garbage disposal that’s been a bit loud, it was frozen but I freed it up today. The thermostat for the house is working again, not sure how or why we had a blank screen 6 weeks ago. The humidity is a bit high however we have had some low daily temps combined with high humidity days leading up to this situation. I turned the thermostat down to 75 so when the temperature increases later the AC will run but certainly not often as the outside temps are to be low well into the future.
12/31/24: One of the lanai screens & both of the living room screens have some small tears in them. One of the guest bedroom windows is missing the entire screen frame. Watered the orchid on the kitchen counter per the instructions provided. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Lanai screen door is locked. Made sure to turn off all water mains when leaving.
12/31/24: The pool pump is set to pull from the bottom center drain. I lowered the pool heater down to 70° as I couldn’t find an off button on the controls. This should keep the pool heater from running. The water main was on upon arrival I turned it off. I turned the thermostat down to 75° to help mitigate the high humidity.
12/31/24: Client advised they will address the damaged soffit & facia above the garage when they return. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence again when I arrived from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 74 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Checked all damp rids. Checked all light timers. No mailbox. Both door handles are unlocked.
12/31/24: The lanai has some pieces of old screen laying around but all the screens have been repaired, reported previously. The large hurricane screen out back is up. It looks better but still bent from what I can see, reported previously. There is a rain diverter at the front door that needs repaired, reports previously. The humidity inside is a bit high, but that’s been pretty much every home today because the humidity is so high still outside. The temperature outside also isn’t even above what the temperature is set to inside on the thermostat so the system has not ran. As long as it stays in the lower 60s it should be OK.
12/31/24: There appears to be a rectangular shaped depression forming in the front yard on the left side of the house directly in front of the sewer clean out pipe see photos below. Client will address when they return. There appears to be a strip of missing roof shingles along the ridge on the left side of the roof next to the ridge vent. Client is addressing.

The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 75 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The plates on both vehicles appear to expire soon. Large propane tank on left side of house only has 25lbs of propane. Did not see any ants in the master bathroom. Mini fridge on lanai was locked. Sections of pool pavers appear to be slightly sinking on the right & back side of the pool. Client will address. Visual check of the dock. Green slip in mailbox.
12/31/24: I poured 4oz of water down the AC drain chased by 12oz of hot water.

12/31/24: Raised and lowered the hurricane shutter out back. Pool cage is down, reported previously. The pool is clearing up but has a great deal of debris on the bottom, reported previously. The humidity is a bit high however it is a very humid day and the thermostat setting is above the outside temperature so the system is running infrequently. I set the thermostat to 76 to help mitigate the humidity.
12/31/24: Weeds beginning to really take over, photo below.
12/31/24: I placed the mail in the blue recycling bin in the garage as requested. The smoke detector in the front guest bedroom is beeping which indicates it has a low battery. I left the keys to the home on the kitchen counter and locked the front door using the electronic keypad.

Was unable to water the plants as there are no more water jugs provided. Put the keys back in the lockbox when leaving.
12/31/24: I brought in a pool slip from the lanai dated 12/27. The old softener equipment is gone. The mirror light in the newly remodeled bathroom was on upon arrival, I turned it off. There were several small fly like pest dead in each sink, brought to that area by the light no doubt, I washed them down the sink. The humidity is a bit high today but it is a very humid day with low temps outside so the AC system is not and probably will not run much under these conditions.
12/31/24: All the tires on the vehicle were starting to get low. I inflated them all to 35 psi for now using my cordless inflator. The inside of the residence has not changed in appearance since the last service call. The ac system is still off. Client is aware & addressing the situation. I was unable to run water throughout the residence as all of the plumbing fixtures have been removed during remediation.
