We've left 3 windows uncovered for now. Plus with handholds cut into the wood it gives a bit of sunlight. Storm doors on the exterior doors let light in, too. The dark bedroom is great for sleeping, though. Tonight I was thinking I needed to pull the shades down for privacy. Duh...lol.
lol. We didn't cover the door windows. My husband threatened to seal me in though. The last time we had a "little" tropical storm I stood outside the door watching. It was facinating. I hadn't planned on telling him I was outside but I shared it with some people on FR and he just happened to pick that time to lurk. :'(
