I love the terms: birdcage and lanai. So much more picturesque than patio or deck. Perhaps the term "birdcage" is unique to The Villages.

We were told by the people who built our birdcage that the Building Permit would only be approved if we cemented in the entire area. And that "the cement rule" was specifically designed to make sure that residents weren't using their birdcages for doggie bathrooms. However perhaps the company who built our birdcage was under a misunderstanding.
