lanai
We are also doing the low E Glass stackable sliders as well as glass windows on one short wall that will open. We are using the HVAC from the house as we were told it can handle the extra room. We are having it wired for cable tv as well.
The reason we raised the floor as we wanted there to be a flow from the kitchen (we have a CYV in the new Haciendas at Mission Hills) to the Florida Room so it did not appear "added". We are taking out the glass slider from the kithen which goes out on to the lanai. We are also putting brazilian wood floors throughout including the lanai (Florida Room to be) except in the kitchen area, laundry room and bathrooms.
It is amazing how much money you can spend when you buy a new place and then try to make it more of what you want. We had all the new carpet taken out immediately. We also had window trim done and ordered more cupboards for the laundry room to match the rest. Two cupbaords above the washer and dryer are $855. I thought that was very pricey but it is the company who installed the rest in the villa and they will match.
We bought the villa for the magnificent views on two sides as it is a corner end villa and the huge back yard. We have two dogs. The view of all the villas on the water side are breath taking and the sunsets magnificent.
Ugh.
