OK, I'll admit it. I am a forever New Englander. I am looking at homes in TV on a regular basis and just don't understand some of the descriptios. Perhaps you all can help.

1) Why do some houses have screens for the garage? I can't imagine what purpose they serve.

2) What are solar tubes? Why do some houses have them?

3) What's the difference between a lanai and a Florida room?

4) What is the acrylic in a lanai all about?

5) What in the world are volume ceilings?

6) This is my favorite. What is an air handler and why is it a big deal when one has been relocated to the garage?

Any and all help here will be much appreciated.

Thanks
