Thrifty alternative to air conditioning...


My front window gets serious morning sun, which heats up the apartment quite a bit.  Since I can't afford an air conditioner, I came up with this much more cost-effective solution!  A car window shade ($8) that reflects much of the sun coming in the window.  This is the first morning since I put it up, and there is definitely a nice improvement in the temperature in the living room!  :)
Fortunately is does cool down a little in the evenings, not like Sonoma County where it can get downright chilly, but there is a breeze.  So in the evening I open the front window and the back slider and get a breeze going to cool it off inside.  Which the bunnies definitely appreciate!
