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!!
Glassed in Lanai's can be added. We glassed ours in seven years after we built. I don't think you need make that decision now. Find a house that you like, where you like it, at a price you are comfortable with and buy it. But don't wait very long. They are selling quickly.
