    So, I did this and it works fine. Except when it comes time to removing it after being on a month, it leaves behind a stain on the windows, that is VERY hard to get off. The aluminium reacts with the sunlight so I just found out today, and leaves a stained pattern. Googling how to get rid of it came up with very little you can do about it. In fact, I can even see the stain on his windows, which he did not mention for some bizarre reason, and I WISH I had known this beforehand. This may be fine if this is your window in your home, but if you are renting, beware.

    @@jesperlind1577 Yes, I used a kitchen sponge with an abrasive side, and rubbed very hard against the marks until I saw them smudge. Then I got a paper towel and windex to remove the smudge. It takes time, but it came off. Depending on the size of the window (mine was huge) you may have sore arms the next day. My marks had been on a month. Not sure about others who've had theirs on for longer though.

Had to buy a 50 dollar fan instead but sadly not as good. 10 days of a pitch dark living room, great fun, cool temp, theatre vibes when watching movies, and cats got to run around again during day time!

So I live in an HOA community and my room is on the second floor of my house with 3 windows and it always gets molested by the sun for 8-9 hours of the day until the sun starts to set and I tried doing this only to receive a letter from my HOA community stating that “it’s probably just an oversight , but it has come to our attention that one or more cosmetic finishes to your home are in violation of our policy. Please correct the violation to avoid having to pay any future fees.” I live in an otherwise good looking neighborhood and it’s HOA so as you know they’re really strict about the way their community looks. They basically told me my aluminum foil made the neighborhood looked ghetto and to take that shit down before I get some fuckin fees to pay for it. Meanwhile all of my neighbors kids get to leave their scooters, bikes and skateboards littered across the street overnight with no one telling them Jack
