Great story. Only hiccup I saw was that he mentioned the patio was always usable due to their location but towards the end he said it was “enclosed”. Are there enclosed patios still susceptible to weather?
Enclosed patios provide some protection from the weather, but they are not the same as the insulated interior of a modern house. I've been to a house in Texas that had an enclosed patio that was unusable in the heat of summer. It acted like a hothouse.
