If it keeps up seal the trunk up real good and buy some fish and turtles. 

Haha. I think that might be a good idea. Turn it onto a fish tank/pond.

I'm still waiting for some proper rainy time but there have been a couple of days of heavy rain this week and we seem to only have about a tea spoon of water in the boot now. Much better than the pond we used to have. No horrible damp smell in there now either.
