9/1/21: I found the water on upon arrival I turned it off upon departure. The front right gutter downspout elbow had fallen off and the rain has washed a lot of the soil on that corner away I put it back on but I don’t hold much hope on and staying on because there are no screws that connected which is something that should’ve done been done with the contractor to keep them on. The den/office light and fan were on and I couldn’t turn them off using the remote. I turned the circuit breaker off to shut them off.9/1/21: The pest hole that was dug on the corner near the water main is not active as the photo below shows a great deal of debris in it.
9/1/21: Brought in a large stack of mail, magazines & sales flyers. Sent several pieces out that appeared important. There is another washout starting underneath a block in the landscape bed on the back right corner of the house. Visual check of the boat photo below.
9/1/21: Removed a problem solved pest sign dated 8/28 from the front yard. The avocado tree by the driveway is full of avocados. Brought in a fedex package that was laying by the front door when I arrived see photo below. Visual check of the boat photo below.
9/1/21: There was still a live rat under the sink on the lanai when I opened the cabinet. It ran through a hole in the cabinets for the plumbing & into the wall. I left the lanai door unlocked for truly nolen per the client. The vines have been removed from the pool cage screens.

8/31/21: Client advised that their pool pump was struck by lightning & were concerned about the appliances inside the residence. The pool pump was on & running when I arrived & the pool was clean see photos below. Will send a video of the pool pump running to the client via text. All appliances & both tv’s were ok. The battery maintainer in the garage was ok & the golf cart was currently unplugged. Brought in one piece of mail see photo below.
8/31/21: Poured vinegar down HVAC tube. Weeds growing in the cracks of the pavers on the lanai as previously reported. Turned the guest bath toilet off at the valve that had the note not to flush because it runs continuously. I flushed it because it really needed water in it as you don’t want the trap to be dry as sewer gas will come up through it, bugs and pest as well. I will turn the valve on flush and then back off each service call. Found a service bill under the front door mat that I brought inside, photo below.
8/31/21: Watered all the potted plants on the lanai inside and outside the hurricane shutter. New armadillo hole back left corner of home just before the lanai steps. Placed cayenne pepper in both holes and debris inside holes to see if they vacate.
8/31/21: Checked all GFI receptacles as requested. The two indoor bedroom ceiling fans were on when I arrived, I turned them off.
8/31/21: Watered the 3 interior plants. Before I could shut my truck off your neighbor came over and told me to get the downspout fixed and that he told me about it weeks ago and we never repaired it. Which is not true we did but then the brittle plastic flex hose broke which I noticed and notified you of last week. I told him it would be repaired today and that did not seem to change his opinion of me or my service. I even told him that I am not a handyman service and by simply repairing this issue could get me a misdemeanor charge and fined by the city of Venice. Photos of how I solved this issue for the time being are below.
8/31/21: Brought in two pieces of mail photo below. Photos of the master bathroom tile samples & areas that were leaking through the times in the shower below. It appears the handyman had put some silicone in the back corner of the shower that was leaking. The clients handyman had started the repairs before the client left & has not completed them. Cleaned up spider webs along baseboards & in the garage. The kitchen sink faucet leaks has been tagged for leaking from underneath when water is running, the valves are shut off & it has been tagged as such. Did not run water in the master bathroom shower until repairs are completed.

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.
8/31/21: Several pest droppings in the guest bathroom and utility area as reported previously. Some chafing of roof tarp on the floor of the kitchen from the broken skylight. No need to water plants due to the high volume of rain we’ve been having.

8/31/21: There was an rv parked in the driveway when I arrived see photo below. The pool pump filter canister has a drip leak coming from the pipe on the bottom see photos below. Made sure the water heater & range were off. I found all the water supply valves for the sinks & toilets closed. I highly recommend leaving them open as they all have excessive corrosion on them & are prone to leaking when turned on & off to many times. The water lines are already pressurized inside the walls from the water main being left on & would more than likely leak there first. All ac air filters have been replaced recently. Will monitor the old water leak in the living room closely. The garage side entry door is rusted on the bottom & there is a large hole in the bottom of the door see photos below. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Left the water main on outside for the pool when leaving.

The white vinyl fence needs to be pressure washed & the pool cage screens have green pollen building up on them. The guest bathroom sink is tagged for a leaking trap. Turned the water main off to the house only when leaving. No mailbox.

Ran all faucets & showers on the hot side to prevent odor from building up in the water heater per client. Checked all light timers
8/31/21: I left the Watermain on, with the pilot light to the water heater and turned it to hot and turn down the AC to 74°. I waited for the AC to kick in Cool and also the water heater to kick in and heat.
8/31/21: Did not water the 4 plants on the lanai, plants tested Moist using a soil meter. There were several pieces of mail, none appeared important. Dehumidifier wasn’t running and empty bucket light was on, so I shut the power off then back on. Dehumidifier began to run and did not shut off.
8/31/21: The front door needs new weather stripping. The garage side entry door has wood rotting on the bottom of both sides of the door frame.
