Crimp up a corner, stick it in a small spot in a fan front, turn on, and blow. It lasts for a couple of days. When the scent is almost gone, and time to put new ones in, use the old ones to dust the furniture. Bathroom tile, especially in the tub - after cleaning, use furniture polish above the tub up the tile walls. Water sheets off, and they sparkle. Are there gaps at the front door ? Roll paper towels and stuff. Saves on the utilities. Bring your refrigerator temp down to medium or a little less if you can. Saves a lot on utilities.

Love the door sock idea, thanks! The germs would have to be introduced to the tank for them to 'grow' there. Between 25-30% of typical residential energy usage occurs in water heating. The power company never forgets to send you a monthly bill. It's your choice. Bump it up to 120 degrees ~ dishwashers these days have their own booster heat, so keeping the whole tank full of 160 degree water is very wasteful. :DJrebelli: |

Texas Uncensored User ID: 51338 United States 04/21/2009 03:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dajavoo, good tip. I do have rolled old towels, tied off at ends that I use at the door bottoms. We have a west facing balcony that takes a lot of sun, really was heating up the living room. I put up trellis, lined it with thick dark screen. Then I put up white outdoor shades, and velcroed those windshield protectors shiny side against the shades. It dropped the temp out there about 10 degrees. I followed inside with windshield protectors under the curtains. Again, helped cool the living room. The room with a west window got similar treatment, including plastic taped all around. I'm putting thin sheets of white starfoam board there now. It should knock down the temp in that room. The walls heat up too, so I'm seeking a solution for that. **** PEACE **** UFO's @ [link to www.youtube.com] UFO photos & phenomena @ [link to www.picasaweb.google.com] MY GLP VIDEO CHANNEL * [link to video.godlikeproductions.com] [link to www.futurequake.bravehost.com] |

Has anyone here used them ? SOLAR CURTAIN [link to www.dreamproductscatalog.com] I've seen them. Best way to prevent heat gain is keep the sun off the windows with an awning. However, those curtains are a good second choice ~ there is also a film (applied to the inside of the window) that significantly reduces heat gain that you can still see through ~ it's at home improvement stores. Honestly though, a good heavy curtain will do the same thing, if you don't mind livin' in a gloomy house. :DJrebelli: |
