Love that idea! We live in WA state near the puget sound. Pretty mild summers here. Really mild compared to what you guys have :) But we are military. So sooner or later I am sure I will need this advice in our future endeavors!
I was telling my daughters about your post and my response - they said it help blocks the cold too - not that it gets really cold here but we have an old house and they said when they have it up they can feel the cold air coming through but when its down it blocks it!
