Okay trying this post again. Think beemerphile is right.
It only took 5 days for me to read all the threads but wow, lots of great ideas! Time to share.
I don't take credit for this idea but found it works nicely and is so simple.
To block the skylights, I got some vinyl "J" channel and some reflectix from the big box store. The j channel is used for vinyl siding. Cut two pieces of the j channel the length of the skylight, and using the existing screws, put one on each side of the skylight. Then just slide in a piece of reflectix. Works great to eliminate about 90 percent of the light and heat. And if you want to let a little light in, just slide the reflectix back a little bit. And another bonus, it weighs practically nothing.
I would post some pics but still haven't figured that out.
