Typical 1990 Florida home with open lanai to pool enclosure:
The home has opening protection on all openings except for two skylights. The skylights are above the lanai; the shaft opening (from roof surface down to lanai ceiling) is a framed and drywall shaft. Will these skylights count and cause me to mark it as: X. None or Some Glazed Openings One or more Glazed openings classified and Level X in the table above.

or do they not count? My thinking is (although the shaft is enclosed by drywall); the lanai attic is open to the house attic. Not sure how to proceed; thanks for your help on this.
