12/13/21: Ran water into the pool during the service call it was within 1 inch of the bottom of the skimmer port, I was able to raise the level another inch. The pool is collecting dirt on the bottom near the spa, photo below. I Made sure each toilet valves was off. Checked all doors and windows. The humidity level was high so i turned the thermostat down to 75 to help start to mitigate the humidity. I waited until the temp and humidity began to come down before leaving.12/13/21: Watered the 3 interior plants. Circuit break 24 to the fridge was NOT tripped. I kept the thermostat at 75 degrees to help mitigate the higher humidity that is common this time of year. The plant along the garage as you walk into the home (bougainvillea) needs trimmed. As mention before the bush on the right corner of the garage needs trimmed as well, photos below.
12/13/21: Watered all the potted plants on the lanai inside and outside of the hurricane shutter, 15 in total. Watered the 4 plants in the master bathroom. Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube then chased with water.
12/13/21: The humidity was high on both levels , more so upstairs than downstairs. I lowered the thermostat 1 degree downstairs and 2 degrees upstairs to help mitigate the higher humidity.
12/13/21: The water main was on upon arrival, off upon departure. There was a noticeable smell of moisture in the air upon entry, I knew the humidity would read high and it did (68%). I have turned the thermostat 73 as I believe the main culprit is the mild temperatures outside not raising the indoor temperature high enough to turn the AC system on. I waited until the AC ran long enough to begin removing the hump, it was down to 66% when I left.
12/13/21: I could not find the gecko you spoke of by phone, but I did see 4 very small droppings on the floor around the TV. There should be far more if it was inside all this time so I believe it is getting in then going out. The humidity is high so I turned the thermostat down to 75 from 78. This should allow the humidistat to control whether the AC runs or not and also should lower the humidity especially during the day.
12/13/21: Visual check of the car, battery maintainer lights were on. Turned the thermostat to 76 from 78 to help mitigate the higher humidity inside.
12/13/21: The client requests the water remain off. The dehumidifier read 52.
12/13/21: 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 to 72 and the humidistat to 55 form 60 then waited for the AC unit to start running. Ii will keep these settings for the next week. Theoretically the humidistat should control the AC unit now and the thermostat should be low enough during the daytime to have the unit run more frequently. I found 2 live ants and several dead ants under the back living room window, photo below.
12/10/21: Drive by. Put the solar shades inside the residence & laid them in the den see photos below. Photos of the back seat in the truck that appears to have been damaged by the damp rid bag. Also the paint on the garage floor appears to be peeling from the truck tires see photos below.
