Vacant lot behind house is being maintained.8/30/21: Found the key under the planter on the right side of the garage. Made sure the water heater & range were off. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived. I lowered the dehumidistat to 55% for now to circulate air & help mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The gfi outlets in the kitchen were all tripped and I was unable to reset them which appears either one or all of them are bad. I was unable to connect t the battery maintainer to the vehicle as the electrical outlets in the garage appear to be tied in to the tripped gfi outlets in the kitchen & I could not get power to any of the outlets.

8/30/21: The ac thermostat was off when I arrived & the condensate drain line pump on the air handler in the garage was constantly running.

I tried riding a breaker to turn the pump off to keep it from burning out but was unable to figure out how to turn it off. The condensate drain line outside appears to need to be routed a better way as it currently goes all the way to the ground & lays on top of the ground most likely aiding in it getting clogged see photos below.
