Lanai has exterior vinyl siding walls and two of the old existing windows give us a view of the lanai. AC not done properly and we need to add a $5K AC to cool/heat it properly.

If you add a lanai, do not scrimp on the costs. Previous owner scrimped and it will cost 10K+ to make it more usable and normal looking. They should have erected a covered screened in patio instead.
