    i have done that but it doesnt let in alot of the light so its hard to see how the paint has come out!

    might just use newspaper and masking tape

    should be cool

    thank everyone for the tips


    Just cover the bottom windows leaving the tops clear to let in the light.. also we only covered the windows at the front of the house...
