Re: Window Foil

["Matthew Stanley" <mstanley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dont get me wrong. I only have foil on my basment windows..All my window in
my house are new and I wouldnt put foil on them. But if I have the time, and
someone wants it, I personaly dont mind doing it. And the customer I did the
other day did not have tons of windows... so it was not that bad..

I remember as a kid, I would take my nails and scrape the pretty shinny
material on the window at the drug store... Back then, I didnt know what
that stuff was.. I do now ;o)
