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.

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.
