Are you getting frustrated trying to have a
comfortable temperature in your house during
the Summer and also trying to save money on
Air Conditioning?
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
things you'll need:
Full Size Black Trash Bags(number according to windows that you want to cover)
Velcro Tape
Scissors
Stable Chair or Ladder
1 First, Take the trash bag and flatten it out so that you can see 4 corners and
cut it (very Carefully) down the left side and down the right side. Make sure
that you cut strait down each side. *If done correctly, plastic should hang the
length of your window and cover most of the width of your window.
2 Now its time for the Velcro tape. Cut 2, 3 to 4 inch strips of equal length.
Then, remove the tape guard on one side of the velcro and tape it to the top
edge on the left side. Do the same thing with the other strip, but on the right
side. This end will be the top of your window guard. If you have blinds or
shades you should be just fine with just the two top velcro strips. If not, you
may need to add two more at the bottom.
3 Now take the new homemade window cover to a window where the sun shines
in most of the day. If you have blinds, raise them test out how your cover will fit
the window.
Now remove the sticky guard on the outside part of the velcro on the right and
left sides and press the velcro tape securely against the top left and right side
of your window while stretching the width of the plastic to the width of the
window pane. Make sure that it level.
4 Ok, Do you feel cooler yet? Now that your window guard is securely in the
window. carefully let down your blinds or shades so that the plastic rests
between the window pane and the blinds.
5 Repeat Previous steps for each window. And enjoy a cooler house and a
lower Electric bill.
Tips & Warnings:
Feel free to experiment with adhesive attachments. Duct tape left adhesive on my window so don't use duct tape.
Check to make sure the tape is secure every once in while.
It may take a while to make a straight cut in the trash bag but be patient and it will pay off.
Make sure you have good footing when trying to reach the top of the window.
No wobbly chairs.
Be careful.
