few months of the year when it was cool over there, I got bitten up! The panoramic lake view was beautiful, but I had to use citronella candles when sitting out there, or I'd be eaten alive. The lady whom we bought the house from had the enclosure removed, because apparently her husband screwed it up when he installed it, so the patio was all open, and we never got it redone.
