Shade Strategy...
Weatherman says it's gonna be a scorcher today... 88F is predicted.
At 8:45am I noticed that the sun was shining on my front door, so I measured the temp from inside the living room... 109.4F. I had a solar panel heater radiating into my room! I had a spare bamboo shade I had not yet hung up, so I put it in place. Then I waited a half-hour and re-measured the door temp. New temp = 88.0 A 21F temperature drop is much better! -AC_Hacker * * *
