The master bathroom toilet is tagged for running. The half bathroom toilet water supply valve leaks when turned on, the valve is off & tagged as such.

12/21/21: 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 remain on. The pool level is at a level of concern and should filled up back to the middle of the skimmer port. I ran water into it for the time I was here but I would suggest contacting the pool company to make them aware the pool will need to be filled this week. The pool has debris all over the top of the water and several pieces on the bottom including a dead gecko. If my eyes don’t deceive me and they rarely do, the pool needs scrubbed, photos below. I found the humidity inside very concerning nearly 70%. This can happen this time of year when the temperatures outside are so mild the inside temperature never gets to where the thermostat is set. I turned the thermostat down to 74 from 78 to ensure the system runs enough to remove this high humidity. I waited until the humidity had been reduced by 2% so I knew the system was working properly and removing the humidity.

The exterior fridge ice relief handle is dripping slightly so I placed the largest container that would fit safely under it to catch the drips.
