Step-by-Step Guide: How to Mothball Your Property for Future Use

This video demonstrates the process of mothballing - creating a ventilated envelope around a building to preserve the structure until it can be restored in accordance with the National Park Service’s standards listed in their Preservation Brief 31. 

The video includes a materials list and step-by-step instructions on how to build window and door panels that when applied, result in minimal damage to wood frames.
The production of this video was sponsored by the WV Humanities Council and was created by Mr. Everett Rodriguez and students Tyler Carden and Brian Jarrell of Liberty High School in Glen Daniel.
