What is your HCB doing this summer to improve your property?

If your chapter has a house or meeting place, what is your HCB doing to improve it this summer? ...we're in the middle of remodeling my kitchen and family room, so I'm in an HGTV kind of mood. Inspire me with your great projects!

We don't need any major remodeling done (the house was just built in 2001). I think they're getting rid of the upstairs lounge furniture since it's old, and plaid, and ugly. They're going to put newer stuff in there.

We are doing a lot of things, but most of it is just the guys in the house getting things going. Our HCB is concentrating on mostly the roof and water damage.

Last year (the summer after I moved out

), we got air conditioning, new laundry facilities, and new furniture and hardwood floors in the 3 quads. This summer they're repainting the entire outside of our house and I think getting more new furniture for the remaining bedrooms.

Nothing I plan to post on GC

You are right...maybe I should re-phrase my question and add context.

What are some things your HCB has done in the past that have improved your live in experience? Wire for internet? Improve laundry areas? sound proof the study room?

I'm not on a HCB right now, but when I was, aside from the maintenance/repair stuff we had to do...it was hard to decide how to spend our "fun" money in ways that made a difference and created pride in the facility. One thing we did do was start to de-formalize the dining area and create a Starbucks like atmosphere...and we bought a really good bbq so the cook could grill more meals instead of using processed or fried foods.
