I googled UV film for windows and this can become quite expensive. Anyone know where we can buy rolls at wholesale cost and do it ourself?

@ezicash1 You are correct. It was several hundred dollars for our windows.

@ezicash1 check out geowindowsdotcom, that's where we bought from and very happy with speed of delivery, quality and price.

Good thinking on the pre-cut plywood. You may want to look at the painter drop cloths as tarps also. I use them and they really last and not as noisy as the plastic ones in the wind and rain. They are a white 90% water proof (at least paint can't get through them) cotton canvas. You have to put in the tie downs. They come in many sizes and can be sewn together to make a tent or ?

@rchopp Thank you. We are at that time in our lives when the kids are grown and gone and I work at home so we probably have more free time then most people. That really helps us be organized. Thanks for your comment.
