Lees deep questions:
If you enclose your lanai in glass and put up shades and air condition it, isn't it just another room ? Can't you do the same things in the living room and even more in the bedroom?
Does this now add on to the square footage (feetage? feets?) of your home and increase your taxes?
Why do they call those "Mitsubishi Splits" dehumidifiers in all the advertisements and not air conditioners? Is there some sneaky reason to get around something?
I can answer a few since I've asked the same questions...

1) It's considered another "room" if the floor is raised to be level to that of the house. That would add square FOOTage to your home and would increase the taxes.
