I ran the hurricane shutter out back up and down. I found the door between the garage and home unlocked, I know I locked it last week. I did see a slip on the counter the pest control company was inside on January 26th so maybe they left it unlocked.

2/1/21: The refrigerator had started to leak onto the floor from the freezer. As I was trying to clean this up and break some of the Istead what is inside the freezer I noticed the freezer door was a closing all the way on the left side. This is probably why we ended up with the but I’m starting to defrost. I took out as much as I could in the way of trays and ice however the one main tray that slides out with the door still has about 2 inches of ice in it. The rest of the freezer is now deiced and I left the racks in the kitchen sink, photos below.
2/1/21: 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 in the winter. I lowered the thermostat to 69 to circulate air & help mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The garage overhead door needs new weather stripping on the bottom.
2/1/21: Found fire ants going in & out of the side garage door, I opened the door & found them going in & out from behind some semi-rotted door frame on the bottom see photo below. I swept up sand they had started to form a pile & sprayed the whole area with bug spray I found in the garage. Will send a video via text. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Weeds are growing in the front landscape bed.
2/1/21: The garbage disposal is frozen, could not free it up. The thermostat is turned off I’m not sure if that’s what was intended as I know you’re closing on the house soon. The interior humidity is fine temperature is fine so it should be no problem leaving it off. I left the only key we had on the kitchen island with all of the other information there.
2/1/21: The humidity level was back below 60% inside the residence. I raised the thermostat back to the original setting of 80 & put the dehumidistat on 50%. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Visual check of the boat, trailer & vehicle. The tag is expired on the vehicle. There are brown stains on the wall next to the master bedroom windows.
2/1/21: Pool level is at 1/3 the skimmer port. The humidity was a bit higher than I like to see it at 64% so I turn the thermostat down to 72° from the 75 that it was set at. We were going to have unusually cold weather for the next few days so that should help. The master bathroom left side sink handles are off, see photo below.
2/1/21: The spa water level was still low from the last service call, I ran the garden hose in it again during the entire service call to help bring the water level up. The water level is almost back up to an optimal level see photo 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 in the winter. I lowered the thermostat to 71 to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The stain on the master bathroom ceiling has not changed in appearance. The guest bathroom shower has grout coming out in the corners. Mud dauber nest are on both entryway ceilings.
2/1/21: The pool level was about an inch below the overflow drain hole. There were several pieces of mail I brought in none appeared to be important. The humidity inside your home is high this is generally because the outside temperature is so low that based upon the setting of the thermostat it is just not running. I did turn down the thermostat to make sure that it does cool and run and it does. My suggestion for the next week would be to set the thermostat at 72° as we’re going to be cooler than normal here in Florida the next several days. This way we will remove as much humidity as we can.
1/29/21: There are cracks in the stucco below the back living room window see photo below. The gutters on the back of the house need to be cleaned out & a section of gutter has come apart on the right side of the house above the guest bathroom window see photo below. The humidity level back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustment. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly.

A new air filter is recommended size 19.5 x 23. A smoke detector in the dining room above the master bedroom doorway was chirping when I arrived. I replaced the battery with a new 9v battery & tested it after installing the new battery. The master bathroom toilet fill valve has quit working. The washable ac air filter is dirty & needs to be cleaned or replaced. The driveway needs to be pressure washed. The wood beam going across the front of the house is rotting.

There are some hairline cracks in the stucco underneath the windows on the right side of the house see photos below. The gutters above the master bathroom have leaves in them & may need to be cleaned out soon. The pool cage & screens have green pollen starting to build up on them & may need to be pressure washed soon. There is a hairline crack in a floor tile just to the left of the front door, it is has been tagged. Brought in 3 pool service slips dated 1/5, 1/19 & 1/26.
