12/21/21: Removed an active hornets nest from the soffits. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 76 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The water stain on the master bedroom ceiling has not changed in appearance since the last service call. It is currently dry to the touch. Will continue to monitor closely.

The podocarpus hedge row bushes on the right side of the house are turning brown & appear to be dying.12/21/21: Very strong wind gusts this morning. The water level was over the dock. Brought in a stack of sales flyers. Turned all water on first, let it run during the entire serve call & flushed the toilet several times per the client. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Visual check of the dock & boat ramp photos below. There was some duck droppings on the dock.
12/21/21: Very strong wind gust this morning. There are several sections of soffits pushed up on each side of the shed see photos below.

The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the ac thermostat to 74 for now to circulate air & help mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Both screen doors on the lanai are locked. The storage shed may need to be pressure washed.

12/20/21: Watered the 3 interior plants. Circuit break 24 to the fridge was NOT tripped. I moved the thermostat at 73 degrees to help mitigate the higher humidity. This is common during this time of year with the milder temperatures outside.
12/20/21: Walked the house twice to ensure all faucets, tubs, showers and toilets were not running. Brought in several pieces of mail, of which 3 I thought you may need to do there are photos below. Left one of my hygrometers inside had to go in twice.
12/20/21: Walked the house twice to ensure the water faucets were off to all showers, tubs, and sinks. The humidity is very high inside the home. I turned the thermostat back to 75 and the humidistat to 60 from 55 as the humidity is much lower this week. The bush on the side of the house is getting out of control and creating a bridge to the roof for pests, see photo below.

The back title hole is still active as well as I saw the turtle retreat into it while I was here. Water main was on upon arrival, off upon departure.
12/20/21: The humidity is right where I like to see it so I kept the settings as they were set when I arrived. I found no live ants inside or out.

Bushes are getting pretty wild on the one side of the house, photo below. Some popcorn ceiling texture cracking in the bow window area, photo below.
12/20/21: The humidity level is high even at the 77 degrees setting this call so I moved it to 75 and I will monitor again in 2 weeks.

There is a freshly dug and active armadillo hole in the landscaping just off the right corner of the lanai (if you are standing inside the lanai), photo below.
