So ever since we bought this place, the boys' room has just been plain cold...doesn't matter what time of year it is.
Me and Monkey Butt were sitting in his room (with the door open) playing Tony Hawk and I was sitting right by that wall...and I could feel the cold air. So The Cop Magnet decided to pull off the paneling and fill it with that foaming insulation that you can get at Sprawl Mart. The stuff expands. It took three cans (and a bit of butt scratching with the hammer), but their room is now warm!
And yes, their windows are blacked out. It helps with the AC bill during the summer because of the end of the house they are on.
That's what we need to do. Just black out this place. I love light.. looking out the windows, etc. But my light bill is just climbing higher and higher.
I love the hammer- butt scratching pic! ROFL! I never seem to get the camera out in time, but that is a classic. :O)
