Easy Window Covers Keep Heat Out

I realize this might be a bit late for summer but, I bet it will be getting hotter and might come in handy. We live in Las Vegas so the temp is still moving up.

I know that people all over have a room with windows that you just can not keep cool. The sun is beating in and may even be melting your blinds.

I have a super great remedy to block the sun and keep the heat out. This also helps keep the cold out in the winter.

Get foil covered bubble wrap by the roll. Cut it to be slightly bigger than your window so you can have a little to tape or better yet just bend to hold tight with the window sill.

If you have ever stayed in an RV in a sunny area you will have seen all the rigs with the foiled up windows. It cuts down huge amounts your electric bill.
It also works wonders in the winter to keep the cold out.
I think it also keeps aliens from reading your mind. We are near area 51 here!
When you are done for the year just place it under the bed to save for next year, we use it all year round.

Other uses –
Keep it in the windows of your spare car,
Cover your motorcycle (or Bike) seat (if it sits in the sun & not ridden).
Use it in your camper windows year round to avoid damage.
You get the idea – cover anything that may get sun damage that you can find any possible way to attach, tie, or bind it to.

Ok, that is my helpful heat tip of the day! Yip, life in Las Vegas is a lesson in itself!

SherylGreat tool you have listed there Nate!
I know that sometimes I have a hard time getting a word that is good for organic searches. I am getting better. I will try out your suggestion on the Blogging for Traffic post. I will not give the secret away here - they can go see your post!

I have started the 30 day challenge and hope to learn more about using free tools to target keywords. It doesn't officially start until August 1st. After I do the 30 days I hope to have a better understanding of how to determine what keywords fit my post and are regularly searched. We will see if I can. LOL!

Speaking of little guys blogging. I read a post the other day and a "big" guy had stated that you had to already have a branded name on line before you could have a successful blog. He did not think your blogging could brand you and make you one of the 'Big' guys. WOW, people tore him up!! It was kinda funny that he got a lesson about the 'little guys' that they are determined to make their name known by writing blogs! LOL!

As for Vegas - It is HOT!! About 112 degrees today!

I had not seen you for awhile, hope everything is OK! I am glad you are back posting away!! I'll be keeping an eye on your blog so, I can pick up some tips that are 'outside the box'. LOL!
