  Nope, not missing anything.  I am trying to keep the water away from the
car, its pretty damp in there and has been for a week and will be for a few
more weeks with all the rain forecast.  That has to be bad on the car, that
much humidity and moisture.  This is a coach built car with wood and
aluminium body, the wood will stretch and shrink a lot more than it has in
many decades, since the car has been stored inside for the last 20+ years
that I have owned it.  I never bothered putting a top on it so I don drive
it in the rain.  An occasional car wash is a lot different than sitting in
water.

        I don't know maybe I am being to picky and careful and worrying for no
reason. What has been suggested so far is a plastic sheet on the ground and
up the wall a ways.  That will work and do exactly what I want, it will
keep the water out.  Yes I know, the moisture in the air will still be
there but I don't think its the same.
