Eye sore.
The house behind us is hideously ugly. It's by far the ugliest house in our neighborhood, and the people who are currently renting it even commented to me on its ugliness. They have been doing some nice things to the landscaping, but the poor house, it's just ugly.
So I just went to the backdoor to let the dog out to use the facilities (that means she's going to probably pee on the patio because heaven forbid she set one of her delicate paws onto the actual grass) and I noticed this...
They have covered their kitchen window with FOIL.
For the love of man.
I hope they don't read my blog. Actually, I hope they do.

Do what I did when we lived in our condo and wanted to sell it. I bought our neighbor a pretty shade for his window. I'd looked at that disgusting window for 2 1/2 years and swore we wouldn't sell it if potential buyers could see who or what lived next door. I knocked on the door and told my scary neighbor that I picked something up for his front window. I explained how easy it was to put up and I left. That night hung that pretty shade in my scary neighbors window and we sold the condo that week :)
Hahahahahaha!!!! Oh that is so great. Maybe you could make them some cute little window hangings out of pipes cleaners and colored glue. You know, like stained glass! That should spruce it up, and the reflection off the foil will make the colors just dance!
P.S. I DO read your blog first thing every morning. With as late as it is when we sometimes talk at night, you really are the last "face" I see at night and the first "face" I see in the morning. Eeeew. Creepy Lacey strikes again!
What the trash is up with that! If they didn't have that big scary dog I'd say you should go cover it up with something. Like an old bedsheet.
Foil helps grow pot. It's an evil necessity.
Am I mistaken or is there foil on the sliding door too. I hope that's just the glare. How horrible!
ROFL!! OK, I can almost top that. We took our car over to a friend's house shortly after we were married so that he could help us change the timing belt. Well, they're very nice people, but not exactly gifted at housekeeping or decorating. The wife very cheerfully offered to GIVE me a couple of her secret window treatments to get us started - emergency blankets. You see, according to her, they're perfect because they are thin enough to let a little light in, but also reflect the sunshine out. The only appropriate response? "Oh, you shouldn't have!" said with a very polite smile.
Kate, you forgot to mention the shed and chickens! What next!!! I like the idea of the emergency blankets. . .I just found about twenty of them in my emergency stuff in the garage. Anyone in need? Let me know.
I once knew someone who covered his windows with black trash bags! Ok, so I'll admit that he did it because he wanted to keep the light out because he slept during the day after working nights....but geez, can we invest in room darkening shades or something? We'll assume your ugly-house neighbors need the same thing done....although Brits suggestion of pot growing does provide good entertainment!
i was going to say the same thing as brits. i always figured all the houses with foiled windows were doing something illegal inside.
