10/26/21: Pool level is now 1/2 skimmer port. Water main to the house is off.
10/26/21: 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. I found a permit for storm shutters at the front door under the slate rock that came off the front months ago, photo below. I left it there as it is required to be there for county inspectors.
10/26/21: Found the pool level a bit concerning so I hooked up the hose to run while I go do another home or two and I’ll come back and shut the water off. Weeds on the lanai as described in past reports
10/26/21: The right side screen door to the pool area had been propped open about an inch and a half. The pool itself is very low so I’m going to leave the water running into it as I do the next 2 homes and I will return to shut it off. Found the green security sign out front snapped off. I looked at the front door sweep as I said I would, and found that it was the leading edge of the bottom door sweep that is ripped halfway. There are several other edges leading to the house pass that one and I could not see any light under the door. I looked but couldn’t see any place to adjust the door sweep. I would think that just cutting that piece off that has ripped will not harm the rest of the functioning door sweep.
10/26/21: Put fake palm tree plant back on lanai. Hose reel was out of place on the side of the house, I put it back.
10/26/21: The armadillo hole that was dug at the corner near the water main is active again, photo below. The armadillo is also digging in the muck, photo below.
