Re: Plylox

Actually we get the wind due to the elevation of the house. Pretty windy up there. We look down on the lake and am pretty much level with the roof top of the club house at Kings Ridge (I can see that when I'm on our roof). I believe my house is at a whopping 80 feet above sea level.

We made sure to put a screen door on the front and screen room at rear of the house, breezy enough on hot evenings to turn off the a/c.

On the down side (due to the elevation), we also had horizontal rain entering the roof vents and soaking the interior ceilings of our house during every hurricane last year.

I made wooden plugs for the vents (out of 2x4's) for this year.

Thanks for the conversation. This board has been much more civilized than all the people flaming and freaking each other out on the other!

Have a safe weekend.
