[QUOTE=784caroline;1085173]We were leary about raising our lanai floor 3.5 inches when we were redoing our lanai...the cost was approx. $ 2K more. Then we went to a social at a house that did not have it done. Well an elderly gentlemen tripped and fell at the house/lanai junction and at that point I said we are doing it....raising the floor. BEST thing we have done and no worries about someone falling in our house because we tried to save a couple of bucks. Its now apart of our house and we thourghly enjoy it.

Just remember we live in a retirement community,[/QUOT

We did raise our Lanai floor. Have several friends who did not and are now quite sorry that they chose the less costly approach. The step is a pain and very dangerous.
