Well, in the last couple of days, we built a "cage" around our couch. We made the frame out of PVC pipe 1/2". Took Reynolds Heavy Duty Aluminum foil and placed it under the couch on the floor, folding over twice and
taping each seam with aluminum tape. We did this on the top, sides and
ends. My Hubby had to of course help me in and close the one open end
with me lying on the couch inside. I had my oxygen tubing so I was able
to have enough air from the tank on the outside of the cage. Grounded
it to a stake outside.

IT WORKED!!!! We had three jets fly
overhead several swoops and Very very VERY close. Made the house shake
a little. (Maybe they didn't like the cage!) I didn't tremor nor did
I get the jabbing chest pains! :)
I was jittering inside some but did NOT tremor!

It
was tough to make b/c the foil easily has little pin holes poked
through all over. I crawled inside and saw them all. :( So then I
took some lighter duty foil and doubled up on the sides, top and one
end. Hard to do the end I have to crawl through, but at least that
took care of most of the pin holes.

I had such a bad reaction to
the Denny Foil we used last year that I was very skeptical that this
would work. God answered our prayers. It did.

SO, then for the trailer, we have to put in a vapor barrier yet anyway, so we should probably go ahead and use a product like the
reflectix before the wall board? We're going to change our flooring
and go with that aluminum tread solid stuff.

What do you think?
