2/8/21: The new patio has several ant hills starting between the cracks, photo below. The humidity inside your home is higher than I like to see it and the last few days are not going to be as warm as it should be to kick in the thermostat set at 77°. So I move the thermostat down to 74° but kept the humidistat at just around 50%. As the temperature gets to mid 70s today I would think that it would turn on and remove some of that humidity.2/8/21: Pool level was right at the middle of the skimmer port. I found some debris on the bottom of the pool, photo below. Gas and bathroom toilet had cloudy off colored water so I flushed it several times until clear. The wine cooler read 55°.
