My Dad built a screen covered porch on the back of his house. Every winter, 20 some odd years, he would cover the outside of it in plastic. It kept the rain and snow out.
He was getting up there in age and asked me to help him cover it all one year. He had plastic air pallet wrap which the U.S. Air Force uses. Real tough stuff. However, I didn't know it was stored under the front porch.
Went to his home while he was at work and figured I would do it by myself and surprise him. Couldn't find his plastic wrap, so I went to Lowes and got some industrial bubble wrap. Finished the job and was putting away the ladder, etc. when he came home. He was happy in-a-way because he was the type of man that always took the initiative, yada yada.
It was a very cold week.. snow and ice. On the weekend I went to his house to dig him out. Went to the back porch and man was it warm and cozy. That bubble wrap thing really works wonders.
Another one. Solar powered phone charger. I have few that are water proof. Also have some adapters for batteries. Comes in handy when the electricity is out and when I am on a fishing and camping trip.
