My parents did this. Dad said it saved them a ton of money during the summer.

And in the winter Gerald's home is....more expensive to heat.
Let's find a way to make it white in the summer and black in the winter. Like a venetian blind with two colors that's structurally sound and waterproof.

Winter heat gain is comparatively much smaller no matter the roof color. This should be obvious if you think about it for a moment (and aren’t a moron).
