I have been to the lanai roof top lounge in Austin

I know about the hawaiian Island

But what exactley are you planing to build. J.

la-na-iâ â [lah-nah-ee, luh-nahy]
noun,plural -na-is. Hawaiian.
a veranda, esp. a fully furnished one used as a living room.

Origin:
1865-70;

It's been awhile since I've posted pictures here - I hope this works.

This is similar to, though far more elaborate than, what we want to do. The pavers would not be included in the $30K, nor the built in bar, fireplace, etc.

We wouldn't have the columns on the sides, just the 3-4 across the front.

Your link did not work. :(

I have to side with the Contractor. 30 grand sounds about right not including the extras. Pay the Man he needs it to build something like that. J.

I think it is reasonable. I have a screened in lanai under the same roof as the house. It' 62' X 18' and I just had an estimate to have it glassed in - floor to ceiling. The estimate was $14,000.

This picture doesn't give you a good view of the lanai but it's all I have right now.
