It's perfectly flat, clean from footprints and dog paws, standing on end in a tight space to prevent it from warping again. I wasn't the least bit worried about it not being usable. And I use craft stiffener for my purse bottoms.

My porch as had enough rain drops to get damp----------------in three different rain falls. Even that 3 minute cloud burst the other day didn't leave enough rain to measure.

He's hard to live with, but my life would be very dull without him!

Stuff in my kitchen has been where it's at for 25 years except for the "roll" stuff that has a newer rack on the pantry door. My older DD doesn't do too bad returning stuff, but my younger DD puts stuff ----------away----------where it can't be seen.

I read some of these to my husband, he said, "You could write a book huh." Like the time I asked him to put wash lines up for me when we moved. Told him how high and 3 lines (T style). Well, he thought he would make it better for me by putting 4 lines on it (to close for the wash to dry) and lower it so I could reach it better (wash hung on the ground). Over the years he hit his head on the T part more than I can count, I just laughed at him and said, "You should have made it the height I asked for." I came home one day and my wash lines were gone!! He hit his head on it again, said that was it and cut them down. lol Still waiting for new ones.
