[78-L] Question 1812 Overture

[David Lennick]

The garage is just fine where I'm living now and was fine where we lived from 
1987 to 2000. Not so fine was the garage in the semi-rural place we were in for 
9 years, prone to moisture, mice, the occasional other living creature that 
managed to sneak under the door. And even a well-maintained storage unit that 
isn't climate controlled is fine, as long as you're sure the elements don't 
encroach.
