Finally! The day has arrived when it’s time for my seasonal application of Reynolds Wrap to the skylights above the bed. I know it sounds cheap, but have you checked the cost of window treatments lately? Trust me. Tinfoil is the best bang-for-your-buck! Provided you have good insurance in case you fall off the barstool that is gingerly perched on top of the king size bed where you teeter on your tippy toes with scotch tape in one hand and foil in the other, as you crane your neck and lean slightly backwards to reach the skylights that cover the vaulted ceiling. In hindsight, the gymnastics were worth it because the room was instantly 20 degrees cooler and I promise I wore a helmet. Plus! Oh guess what else? I’m fairly certain that my new reflective windows have singlehandedly changed the flight approach path of the jumbo jets that insist on using my house as a landmark to line themselves up with the runway several miles away. So, in addition to being able to roast a small bird in mid-flight, I might be able to deduct the cost of the foil from my taxes as part of the noise abatement protocol for our farm. Never mind, my Husband’s in politics. I better eat the dollar.
