Small Glassed In Lanai
I have a Bridgeport model home with a very small lanai. When we bought the home it was already glass enclosed with no air. It has a roof and has walls on 3 sides with windows and a door on the back. We don't use it because to me it feels cave like. Typically we leave the windows open and a fan running to keep air circulating and we close the windows when it rains and open them after it stops. We will be out of town for a month. I am not sure what to do because the high temperatures can be a breeding ground for mold. If I leave the windows cracked rain could get in and it will be humid. I know some people who leave their house sliding doors open to their glass enclosed lanai but I am not sure if some of the old furniture out there might have mold spores or may have an odor I don't want in the house. I don't have time to have a mini splint installed also it is such a small space I don't think the price is worth it. Any thoughts on what you would do????? I am thinking of buying those big containers of damp rid. I also thought of buying a dehumidifier but there is no place for the water to drain out unless I leave the door open and that doesn't seem to be good. I may find animals living in there when I come home. I appreciate any help or ideas. Thank you.
