I spent 5 months living in an enclosed porch.
The floor was flagstone, the roof was glass, 3 walls were glass, and 1 was the exterior wall of the house. It was actually pretty well built and didn't leak much. The soffits were open but screened, so the bugs stayed out but the wind and driving rain didn't. Remarkably few spiders and insects. Power supplied by an extension cord through the original exterior door. No real lights, but that was ok because I felt pretty self conscious having glass in 5 directions. For various reasons, I had to go 'outside' and walk around to the back of the house to get inside and use the bathroom. And that was one special bathroom, which included a garden hose to adapt the bathtub into a shower.
And just as I was trying to figure out what to do about the looming canadian winter, the house was literally condemned. I was "home" when the housing guy came with his papers and staple gun and told me I had 48 hours to vacate.
