Speaking of doorways...For the past four years I've been using a sliding door on my sexayurt. I salvaged a piece of foam a bit bigger than the door opening and built a slider (or track) sill and header for it to slide in. I've been really happy with the solution. I added a weather seal last year, folded over tape on the sides of the door this is quite effective in keeping the dust out. The header, because it sandwiches the foam, acts as a convenient place to hang small things (hats, goggles, even our camelbacks) without damaging the foam. It also serves to strengthen the door way, which after some many years of use is getting pretty weak.
here's a pic from last year - http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Qo8ONjBvRno/TJkYxvSijtI/AAAAAAAAHP8/XOomTumoAB8/s800/IMG_3578.JPG Note that the tarp, as it's configured in the picture, would be a huge liability this year, as many have described. We too were flooded on Monday night.
