Second. I am a great fan of MV off-season. Perhaps he could open his
un-heated summer home to poor working stiffs like me and the Ralphs from
September through May. We could occasionally move the couch and fridge from
the porch and swing a broom around. Or, we could dismember the porch for
firewood.

Is this how cousins address to cousins (in the presence of non-relatives)?

You're gonna have fastening problems no matter what, either some sort of
motor-boaty stainless steel snaps, or some sort of screws/bolts/wingnuts all
over the place to hold the covers in place, which ar going to be a pain in
the ass.  Not to mention what to do with the covers in the one month when
you
use the damn house.

It's a good idea  thereotically, but I think execution would be a problem.
The damn paint is supposed to protect the house in the first place.  Let it
do its job.

Then again, it may be necessary to have a pinhead convocation, following the
Pennsyltucky conclave, to review this all.  I nominate the esteemed and
highly famous Chris as Chairman, Chief Hotelier and Barkeep.  Any seconds?
