This $100 Home Depot Setup Turns Your Bedroom Into a Winter Blackout Shelter

This $100 Home Depot Setup Turns Your Bedroom Into a Winter Blackout Shelter Close your bedroom door tonight and look around. That room holds somewhere around eleven hundred cubic feet of air. When the power goes out in January, your body is the only heater left in it. And your body puts out about as much heat as an old hundred-watt light bulb. One light bulb. Eleven hundred cubic feet. That’s the math every blackout night comes down to, and almost nobody does it until the house is already cold. So here’s the question this video answers. If you had a hundred dollars and one trip to Home Depot before the next winter storm, what would actually make that bedroom safe to sleep in? There are three ways people usually spend it. The first feels the most responsible. The second looks the most impressive and is, for a lot of people over sixty, a trap. And the third comes from an aisle almost nobody walks down for this, and it wins by a wide margin.
