8/19/21: Made sure the water heater, range & ice maker were off. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence on both floors 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.

8/19/21: Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. The storm shutters on the back lanai are closed.
8/19/21: I was inspecting the storage room on the lanai for any mold & was unable to close the door all the way as the hinges are rusted and bent when I opened the door causing a gap see photos below. I currently have the door propped shut with a pry bar. It appears the rusted hinges will need to be replaced to be able to close the door correctly again. The casing around the lanai storage room door is rotting on the bottom right side from rain water.

8/17/21: Raised and lowered the hurricane shutter in back. I watered the 3 plants on the lanai. Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tubes. Checked all GFIs. Found a small amount of condensation at the base of the right upstairs air handler, photo below. I do not know why this would be here. The upstairs huiwas much higher than I like to see. The humidistat dial clicked on of at about 62%. This means it agrees with my meter and the thermostat set to 78 and reaching prevents the system from running and in turn prevents the humidity from being removed. I placed the thermostat setting to 76 and almost immediately the AC came on blowing cold air. The pool has fabrics on the bottom, photo below.
8/17/21: The thermostat has an error message of WiFi Connection Error. 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 raised the dehumidistat back up to the original setting of 55% for now to help save on the energy bill. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. I removed the lockbox from the front door when leaving. The guest bathroom toilet tank has iron building up in it from the city water causing the water to come out orange & needs an iron tablet. Cleaned up spider webs along baseboards & in the garage. The kitchen sink faucet leaks 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.
