Re: Storage options

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@domain.elided>]

For what it is worth, here in small-town Tennessee where I live, and where 
things are a whole lot more tolerant and much less stuffy, I have had great 
success with those 10x20 "King Canopy" shelters.  These "temporary" 
carport/farm storage/outdoor shelters come with galvanized frames (six 
legs) and a pitched roof made of heavy duty silver tarp and sell from 
$140-180.  But then I live in the country, and have some land around the 
house so they are not an obvious eyesore to those who would take 
offense.  Mine are set back in the woods and keep rain and tree crap off 
the beater berlina and another alfa waiting for rebirth, so the vehicles 
stay dry and well ventilated (unlike a car cover).
