Did not personally add this to my house but was installed by previous owner. They added a lanai to the house. When they did this it was installed over an existing concrete porch and did not pay to have it leveled. 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.
