    I just gotta know how much that cost financially and time lmao

    Also, I wonder if that might be some sort of defense against police copters with those FLIR cameras

      It is pretty funny looking but I’m betting the cause is more practical than conspiracy related. My guess is someone heard about putting aluminum foil on windows to increase energy efficiency and decided to take it a step further.

          That is an interesting article and a decent explanation but if that is what they’re doing in the pic wouldn’t you expect it to cover the walls as well?

            Those walls are stone and brick. The roof is probably wood shingle. The biggest danger in that situation is embers landing on the roof anyway. If the wall of fire gets to your house, the blanket might help a little , but probably not.

        Yeah I was thinking this is more some kind of insulation. Which might actually work but probably is easily damaged by weather. You’d be constantly repairing it.

        lol maybe you could wrap it really tightly in multiple layers of Saran Wrap to protect it.

          It could be “worth” doing under your shingles but probably not. I think it’s main benefit is in reflecting sunlight which obviously wouldn’t work if it wasn’t in direct sunlight.

    In reality, this was probably done to protect the roof during a forest fire. The walls appear to be brick and wouldn’t need the same treatment.

    I think I surveyed this house for wireless Internet once. Suffice to say, it didn’t work out.

    Question: Would that mad amount of foil actually do anything to ‘protect’ the professional lunatic here? I thought a Faraday cage had to enclose the thing you need to protect on all sides?
