[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2336756, member: 238814"] It has been raining. The very fine rain that penetrates everything. So not much work done on the Christmas grotto outside the bathroom window. However, I have been out there once I realised next door was out, just to see if there is anything else I can do about placement of stuff before I work out the actual Christmas grotto display. I had thought what I had done outside should have worked a little better. I had used some reed screening some days ago to see how well that would work, and then I placed recently cut bamboo in it, hoping the leaves would more or less stay on them for just over a month. But the flashing lights still came over them and into the bathroom window, which is why I did the shower curtain on the bathroom window yesterday. I had thought the bamboo, with leaves on was higher than his gutter where the flashing lights are. But when I woke up this morning my brain said 'angle of incidence'...so I researched, downloaded some apps. And with the angle of incidence lines and diagrams and Google photographic maps of his house, I realised his gutters where the flashing lights were on was much higher than mine. Hence I was fighting a losing battle. So, I went in the garage, brought out some reed screening I was going to use for something else next year, doubled it over and balanced it on the bathroom window ledge, leaned it over to the top of the other reed screening and cable tied it together. It is now a few feet higher than my bathroom window. And the angle of incidence should be such that even less flashing lights get through. Just at that moment my neighbour came back in his car, so I came in. I was expecting the bathroom to now look too dark. But it wasn't any darker in the bathroom. The test will be tonight at dark when his lights come on. I took a photo last night in the dark bathroom, so I know what it looked like yesterday. [/QUOTE]
