Blocking heat from windows

[katiesue]

I'm airless right now since the breaker blew and melted the pannel. My celing fans have helped immensley. Only issue I have with the remotes is make sure to program them on different frequencys - I have to stand in certain places in the bedroom to turn the light on/off or it turns on/off the light in the living room as well. This may not be an issue if you're on different floors.

I also have some sort of window shades. They came with the house so I don't know much about them. They're like a paper blind, but heavier, and they do a really good job at keeping the heat out.
