Yesterday I told you that I covered two of my windows with aluminum foil in hopes of blocking the sun out and making it a little cooler indoors. Today would be the test to see if it actually does anything.
While the temperature was just a few tenths of a degree lower than yesterday, it is cooling off a lot faster with the air conditioner running. Right now it’s 3:30pm. Yesterday at this time the temperature inside was hovering around 89 degrees. Right now it’s 86 degrees. So it has been a great help because usually it doesn’t get this temperature until well after 5pm.
The aluminum foil was a great deal at 50 cents. It’s probably one of the cheapest ways to beat the heat!

You can buy residential window tint film at your local home depot or lowes.
Much, much better than aluminum foil.

It’s funny that I found this post about aluminum foil on the windows. Last night I watched a new show called “Swingtown”. It’s about wife swapping in the ’70s. One of the ‘neighbours’ was putting aluminum foil on her windows…for a completely different reason, wink, wink.
