My you have a lot to show us. I've been waiting for a report on the heat. When we did our due diligence on our sun room we saw a structure somewhat like ours without airconditioning over a pool. They added a wall unit but it didn't help. Between the water vapor and the heat they simply shut that room down during the summer. They didn't have double glass either. Another place also had a sun room with lots of glass which was a waste during the summer months. These were 6 inch foam roofs but the heat got in through the glass walls. We learned a little from what we saw. The FL sun is a thing to behold.
