Is there some good basic wisdom from you all?? I know everyone is different but is there any general consensus? I would think that due to the heat that we would need an enclosed lanai to be able to spend time out there most or all of the year. I know I sound like such a rookie but we really are perplexed. Thank you in advance!!
We enclosed our Lanai. Now we have an "additional room" that can be used all year round. Put in a small ac and you're all set.
