@Baymule ... I'm thinking there is film that is mirror looking outside but not dark like car tint. ?? Think I saw that. Fortunately my windows have a coating to deflect.
I just got what Walmart had. Truth is, I don’t like any of it, it distorts the color of the beautiful outdoors. But the heat in the afternoons is bad enough that I’m gonna put it up. Just had a PB&J, going outside to get started.


Could you get awnings?
Window film will be much easier.


Good day all. I've spent all morning trying to catch up. Been staying outside and playing with the kids after work then dinner, back out and then bed. I don't even turn on the computer most days.
Glad you stopped by to say howdy!

You people with your heat...

Me... every time I get into my new fangled car I am grateful!

Yep, I turned the heated seats on today...on high.... even turned the heated steering wheel on for a little... but I only needed it for maybe 5 minutes and then I turned it back off.

Anyway... I crawled into bed... wished I had tossed the feather bed back on before crawling in.... and I need to crawl out in about 10 or so minutes to go to church... . I need to find my warmer sweater....

I got the window done in the dining area and the 2 small kitchen windows over the sink. BJ helped by peeling back a corner, then holding up one end , me holding up the other end and peeling the backing off. Then I had lots of bubbles to work out. It looks good, it’s not dark and gloomy. I have to get another roll for the bedroom.
Dummy me thought it went on the outside. It goes on the inside, nice since I could be in the air conditioning.

In the winter I love my heated trk seats!!

So....I've been posting about critters under a hen house. Definitely ground hog, I've seen them...two, one day. We played moth ball catch, I've flooded several times. Today, I see one sitting out there about 11ish. Got thru what I was working, reconnected the two hoses and flooded. About 6...again! About 8 I'm checking for tracks, lot of water. One section not so wet then.

Next thing I know, there's a black & white face, then 2 & 3...little skunks. :oops: No phone with me so go to house and hustle back. Took a bucket, flipped it and sat. Knowing they are nocturnal, I was waiting....8:15 here they come...mom, dad +5, or mom & 6? Let's just say 7 too many!! I pulled the live traps out today but, don't want to catch these!

If anyone wants a cute skunk, come on! 😁.

I've read lavender was offensive to them...I would think moth balls were worse...but, lavender essential oil going out there! Then I guess animal control. :idunno I've not had this problem before. They always lived back in the woods, I suppose. Had them in the yard and fields, just not as "resident squatters".

These are hugely white, notice that? They didn't seem to care about me being there. Then, I was trying to stay out of their way. :lol:

I'm open to any suggestions!!

I am glad that it looks better than you feared!

I was thinking those had the widest white stripe i had ever seen!

No hints on how to get rid of them.
