Default Repaving evicts us from our hangar?

If what you are concerned about is 'airborne', why do you believe that the
aircraft is any more protected inside the hangar than outside? Sun, wind,
hail, sure. But unless you have an airtight hangar, then the damp salty air
will exist inside the hangar as well as out. Maybe even more as you do not
have the advantage of warm sun drying the air.

I was curious if anyone else has experienced this... Our airport is
having it's ramp area re-paved. Because of scheduling, they're starting
earlier than expected. 4 buildings of T-hangars have to be out by this
Monday (the 21st). Actually, you have a choice of being tiedown outside
for 2 months, or be trapped inside your hangar for 2 months. My plane
lived outside for a lot of years, but that was considerably inland. My
current airport is on the coast (Ocean City). I hate the idea of
sitting outside for that length of time, within a 1/4 mile of the ocean.
What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards leaving it in the hangar,
and starting some projects that would disable her, anyway.
