• wherein the house comprises at least one door, a garage door, a plurality of windows, and wherein the house lacks a roof,
• wherein every seam of the at least one door, the garage door, and the plurality of windows is sealed with the removable composition,
• wherein the house is positioned within a water holding enclosure surrounding the house, and
• wherein strips of the adhesive tape are applied end to end such that small gaps are formed between the strips of the adhesive tape;
• filling the small gaps formed between the strips of the adhesive tape with one or more of the sprayable aerosol-based liquid, the viscous liquid, the injectable caulk, or the malleable paste;
• flooding the water holding enclosure with water,
• wherein a portion of the house is covered with the water;
