12/16/21: Brought in two pieces of mail with a small package see photos below. There were also two packages sitting inside the front door photos below. I was unable to charge the golf cart as the gfi outlet in the garage that supply’s the other outlets was tripped when I arrived & would not reset. It stays on for a few seconds then trips again. I have tagged it as such. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived most likely from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered both thermostats to 73 to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. There still appears to be some sections of facia rotting on the back of the house above the south pool cage screen door. I left everything on when leaving per the client.
12/15/21: There appears to be some weeds growing in the gutters on the front of the house & all the gutters may need to be cleaned out soon see photo below. Mold remediation progress photos below.

Also brought in a package that was laying by the front door see photo below. 2:45pm-3:45pm.
12/14/21: Both lanai screen doors are locked. I checked both garage GFIs neither were tripped. I also checked the garage attic for evidence of pests, none found. The right side kitchen sink had several inches of water in it, I drained and wiped out the film that had started to form. The humidity is higher than I like to see. This can be problematic especially with the mild days we are having.the AC system may not run frequently enough to remove the humidity so I moved the theory from 80 to 78 to help mitigate.
12/14/21: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube chased by water. The light over the sink was on wit a note saying it was ok to leave on. Poured a couple of ounces of bleach in each toilet after flushing and brushing.
12/14/21: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube and then chased with water.
12/14/21: The MB toilet tank wobbles a bit but I cannot see that it leaks. The master bathroom toilet tank does not fill and would not flush today.
12/14/21: The humidity is too high inside your home so I moved the thermostat to 77 degrees from 83. The mild temperatures outside will never drive the temp inside high enough to turn the AC on when set to 83. Hume will continue to build if it is not removed by running the AC system. A setting of 77 should run the system several times each afternoon and remove some of the excessive humidity.
12/14/21: Both levels of the home have higher than desired humidity levels, I turned the thermostats to 77 degrees to help mitigate this condition.
12/14/21: The humidity is higher than we like to see it, should be below 60%. Humidity is higher this time of year inside because thermostats are set several degrees above the temperature outside during the daytime. In order to use your humidistat as the control feature for your AC to make sure that it runs I lowered the temperature to 74°. This will ensure that the humidistat is controlling when the AC turns. I stayed until the unit turned on and started to cool before leaving.
12/14/21: Closed the lanai blinds. Found a dozen ant hills along the front of the house, photos below.
12/14/21: The guest bathroom toilet is tagged for leaking from between the base & the floor when flushed. Was unable to run water in the guest bathroom shower as it is currently under construction. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Visual check of the car. Made sure to turn off both water mains when leaving.
