great video.  How did you seal the floor from heat/cold bleed?

Utah Cabin Life says:

Hey Lamar, great idea with the plastic. I've been thinking of putting a greenhouse on my porch to extend my growing season a bit, maybe even all year if I can. It's good to know that your porch is staying so warm with such a thin layer of plastic. I've been watching your vids for a few years now and enjoy your consistently good content. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this video man! I can't see why this isn't standard for every porch. Houses should come with something to attach to the porch that looks nice and still does the job. Makes too much sense I guess. Also just want to say your videos helped inspire me to start working to living this way. I'm prepping for the move. Just got my wood stove/ fire place insert and looking for a spot now too. I can't go too far from the city though cause I wanna stay close to my kid so I'll have to wait to be completely off-grid but I'll get as close to it as I can. THANKS!

When I was a kid, my Dad would cover the inside window with clear plastic and it did wonders in keeping the heat in and cold out…  really good idea for on your porch…
