I wonder if this repairman may have forgotten how much farther back the pool was (since he stated he hadn't serviced the pool in years?)? But really, he wouldn't have had a reason to even go through that doorway leading to the spiral staircase. I noticed that this spiral staircase also has a glass block wall between it and the garage.

Photos showing Barry's car parked in the garage near the glass block walls (presumably nearest to the door/entrance to the house(?), which would've been the other side of that spiral staircase, imo).

Yes, that makes sense. And I can now see what the repairman that was on the CBC possibly meant.*
One possibility: There was a utility room between the furnace room and the garage that he may have worked in. There were two water heaters in there so I think there could have been exposed ducts and electrical panels as well. There’s a door in there that led to the garage. He said he found doors open and lights on in the basement which was very unusual, so that door may have been open.
If he looked through that door he would be able to see the glass block wall of the pool room. (For example if he found the door open and went to close it, or it was a glass door.) Or he did have to access the room next to the pool—maybe there were exposed hvac ducts there.
He said Honey didn’t like lights left on or doors open, so possibly he closed up everything before leaving, and that’s how the realtor found it.
(But still: the lights in the pool room were off except for the dim pool lights. Did the killer shut those lights off or not need them on? That bugs me.)
*presuming the furnace repairman named in the Star and the unnamed repairman that was on the CBC are the same person.
