Next week, when we move to the house we that we have bought this nonsense should be over. There is a garage and a carport there. No more cars under the open sky. Of course, you can prepare for this, too, by using a windscreen cover, which we did when we were living in a terraced house in Tampere that did not have carports, only parking spaces. And you can keep the locks unfrozen, too, with gun oil, for instance. But here we had two carports to ourselves until just before Christmas when the renovation of the next door apartment was finished and a new family moved in.
