With a new house of course it is tough!
But getting a kitchen table and an old peice of crap freezer out of it!
The major thing was The Chapter Adviser who is HC redid the lawn, re seeded it and planted more decrative plantings.
For houses that need work, interior work can be done by members, painting does wonders if done right.
In visiting the LXA house at Un. Ks. today it needed work as was AGD old house but nice and bigger than looked from the exterior. Painting was the first thing that hit me. Tape off and then paint. Could see were some painted and poorly!
Cosmetics do wonders!

Either cleaning the carpet, having it replaced, or putting wood floors down.
The ASA house has a room done yearly to retro it. Of course it helps when the Regiona Director is married to a LXA and a General Contractor whose Chapter is right across the street from each other!
The AGD house was redone by the same LXA Brother, but unfortunitly they have water in the basement problems that the City say is not their fault!
