However if the room is already enclosed, increasing the floor height could add other problems..ie how are you going to handle the door leading to the outside. Im sure this could be taken care of but my point is it may be more involved than just raising the floor.
And the height of the outlets from the floor. When you go to sell the house it will be inspected and will need to comply with codes. They will require it be brought into compliance before you can sell it. As stated earlier, get someone that can tell you what else needs to be done, preferebly from the County.
