Put up some Cooleroo (Australian-made) window shades that I bought a few years ago at an end-of-season sale and tossed up on a garage shelf. Haven't needed it until now, but this summer is shaping up as a cooker.
I have four windows in my sun room, and this week it's been too hot to do much of anything down there. These are thin enough to see out of (sort of) but manage to block most of the UV rays and a lot of the heat. Couldn't believe the difference it made--spent time relaxing in that room today because the tile floor retained the coolness from the night--breeze running through there--felt like I was on a shady verandah. Nice to be able to go out and get some work done knowing there's a cool retreat awaiting.
