Clever Idea.
I came up with a very simple idea that is cheap to make and it works.
I took a set regular window blinds with horizontia slats and set them so they were closed with the slats tilted so they were slanted in a downward direction . You would need to look down to see out if you were in the room. Then I spray painted the side facing the outside to the sun with ultra flat black paint. When the sun hits them they get hot and you can feel the heat coming off them. If they get too hot just adjut them so the sun is not hitting them so directly. They actually make the room warmer for free. ..if the Sun is out. In the sumer all you need do is rotate them with the black side inside to reflect the heat.

Nah, I am more along the lines of CHEAP SOB looking to save a buck.
Up here in the wilds of Pa. it gets cccold. It has been between zero and 15 degrees every night for the last 5 or 6 weeks. The day time high hit 40 one day. It was like a heat wave. Most days it is around 20 to 25 for a high.

"Yeah officer, I know the guy..."
"He lives over yonder in that joint with the black spray-painted blinds" " A real nutcase"

I've seen blinds that already come like that (some catalog). I also remember a roll-up window shade that has silver on one side to reflect the sun.

Whats really funny is that we have been here since Aug. and I have not seen a police car or heard a siren or a ghetto bird. People do notice stuff though. I was in town at the hardwear store the other day getting some hindges. The guy says, Hows that old truck doing? I say its gettin there but needs some work. I asked how he knew I had an old truck? He says a friend of his lives up my way and told him about the new guy with the old Dodge truck.

Because of his job we always have had to live in or near a big city because that's where his employment is. Lately his company has enabled him to work from home half of the week via computer, and I'm wondering if they can let him work from home 100% of the time (or maybe 4 days/wk), and then we could live rural NOW!

"T'ain't never hear'd of a pole-lock person, Jed, where they come from?"
"I dunno, granny, but he shore got a funny-lookin' head... seems kinda flat, maybe he was dropped on his head as a baby." "Well darn it!.... Invite that city-slicker over for some of my vittles!... He looks kinda scrawny, poor child."
