Its not a silly question at all.
My Morgan is parked in my very large shed and last year I lost a complete timber table , that I salvaged from a local post office sorting room.
It had 2 very deep drawers and was a perfect height to stand and work on car parts etc.
I went to screw a piece of wood to it and the leg collapsed. The little blighter's had come up through an expansion joint in the concrete and up into the leg, then made trails to all the other legs etc.
I dragged the table outside and it almost fell apart with the live termites crawling over the grass.
I now spray the shed posts by injecting poison to the centre of the posts via holes drilled in them and also have installed termite traps every 6 metres around the perimeter of the walls.
Termites take a terrible toll on houses over here and it is a constant battle to keep ones property clear of them.
I would estimate that over 90% of house frames are now steel and the remaining frames are of treated pine to H4 standard.
Any car with a timber frame that was left standing unattended for years at a time would be fair game for termites, not many barn finds emerge from Australia from the 1920's etc unscathed.
No standing around and gossiping if you have a wooden leg
The bottom line is that I move the Morgan around the shed to a different spot every time its parked, confuse them as much as possible I say
