Hi all,
About 2 months ago Pennsylvania had flood conditions which totaled more
property damage than New Orleans had because it was over a larger area. My
house was among them with, luckily no damage to the Healey, but the first
floor of my house needs to be rebuilt: floors, walls, furniture, etc. My
damage was due to "seepage" not rising river or lake water which could never
reach my house so I had no flood insurance and the policy won't cover
"seepage".
I'd already arranged for a firm to come in to waterproof the house at a cost
of $6K but their appointed time was three days after the flood. There, almost
no Healey content whatsoever.
Here's the Healey content. My choice is to take the car out of the garage and
put it under a car cover for two months or put it into a garage which will
cost several hundred dollars. I'm asking for the wisdom of the group. It's
only a couple of months, but it's got no rust on it whatsoever. After doing
the resto I won't allow rust anymore, anywhere for any reason whatsoever.
Call me prejudiced.
What's the consensus, use my car cover or put it in the rented garage? My
garage will have my surviving furniture in it while the reconstruction is
going on.
