Very fortunate here to not have bugs other than the occasional fly. I'd love to take my treadle out on the covered deck
but that is a two man job and Rob is often out of town. My concern is we do have rain here and I'm worried about the machine or stand or irons drawing moisture. I'd feel terrible if I damaged it by misuse, it was a gift from Dick Wrightman, the treadleon list head.
I should ask this question over in Vintage machines!
