I used to bake in my apartment (long time ago) to the point where we tacked bedspreads over the windows to keep out the full on sun assault.
Magnets and Mylar blankies...good tip. The link website is an awesome source of interesting "tips". TY.

Alice from the Futuregirl Craft Blog keeps cool in the summer with the help of cheap white sheets, emergency mylar blankets, and several strong magnets. She uses these supplies to create reflective shades that she sticks on the windows during really hot days, keeping her apartment cool as a cucumber (albeit in need of some artificial lighting).</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2C53452A-5469-484C-BEE7-513F7EB644C5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
