Unhappy with curtains but clueless as what do do until saw a link on another site! I am in Florida so any heat blocking is worth some xtra effort. I am waiting for some polyurethane to dry so instead of finishing another project I started a new one!
Other than collecting solar energy, I consider the front window useless so will that will be a fixed cover. I would like to get a vinyl stick on made for the outside, saying Tonka or some such thing.
I did not care for gluing the fabric to foam sheets, not actually to foam but to a thin plastic membrane coating the foam, so using a wood frame and staples. I also did not want to lose the use of little windows.
Missed a bit in my planning, I could have easily installed magnetic catches during construction, but now have to change to self closing hinges and figure out a way to prop them open when I want the ventilation?
Also my original reading light idea will have to be changed to something small.
Figure out how to fasten the front ones and this project is almost done!!
A few 1X4 cut up $10, a sheet of foam $12, some glue and screws, I am using a friction fit to hold the foam in the frame with some caulk, closeout cloth from Joann's fabric at $3.50 yd. My wife and I found a material that we both liked and then realized we were looking at the back, so the back it is! I will have to add a couple $$ worth of self closing hinges, oh well.
I am really happy with this one, so on to those pesky side windows. Jim Edit I've put images on this site before but still having issues with doing?
