I had the privilege of working for 6 months at Shenandoah National Park, working on a preservation project for Boulder Cabin. The aim of the project was to preserve existing historical fabric and update facilities where applicable for modern usage as the Artist in Residence program housing.
After stabilizing the building, rebuilding the chimney, gutting the insulation and interior paneling, and pouring new piers, I became an intern, working on minor structural and major finishing elements of the building, including cleaning, gluing, oiling, installing, and salvaging material where possible.
