I love being outdoors, especially in my garden surrounded by birds and flowers and my enclosed lanai enables me to be outside 12 months a year. In the Summer when the temp is in the 90's I'm outside on the cool lanai which is glass enclosed and I feel comfortable but still have the feeling that I'm surrounded by nature. In the Winter I open the glass panels (floor to ceiling), open the front door and enjoy the cool breeze while surrounded by nature. In the past the lanai which faces south east was too hot in the Summer and sometimes too cold in the Winter; now I get 12 months of pleasure and serenity in my garden without feeling enclosed.
