NOTE: Don’t completely seal the whole room and then spend the whole day in there working away... crack the window a bit... Not only for your breathing, but because you want to avoid mold behind the mylar.<<<

Good reminder and true with any sealed room.

I had no idea that you could buy the mylar in rolls.

My emergency blanket lost the battle, with the cats, they destroyed it in one night.

I had decided to try it out on a cold night and left it in the chair when I went to bed, when I walked in the room the next morning, it was covered in pieces of it, so be ware if you have cats, it made a noise and they ripped it into small pieces.

LOL, Wish I had a video of it, as I am talking about separate pieces, not holes.

I my give some thought to the extra light, as I can no longer see more than about 25 % of my vision and even with 2 100 wat bulbs hanging here, shining down, still can’t see.

Beware of the light bulbs you buy, for I fuss at Scott when he brings me the pinkish ones, took time to read the label and it says they put out 25% less light, but are still rated 100 watt.

But I’ll bet those cats had grins on their faces after a night of playing with the shiny toy you left them... LOL

How many cats do you have? Are they tame enough to pet? Do they make breathing harder?

I did not know some light bulbs put out less light.
