Mirror mirror on the roof...

Ok, so mirrors won't tell me I'm the fairest of them all. That's probably because they aren't human because then, well they probably still wouldn't.
What they have done for me is keep my house like five degrees cooler. Plug that into your calculators and that's a whole bunch of savings on my cooling bill.
I currently have eight mirrors on the roof right at the top so the rain doesn't do a lot of collecting between them and the shingles. They're also raised up about half and inch with ... well I'm really not sure what it is but there's no way I can get it off so it's staying there.

I plan to add six to eight more on another part of the roof to maximize the cooling in the back of the house where it gets the hottest.
