The Packers' crew repaired interior cracks in the walls, painted the living room and kitchen, cleaned the fireplace, washed windows, replaced kitchen and bathroom flooring, removed the bathtub and installed a shower stall, scoured the kitchen, replaced the refrigerator, caulked the roof, removed the gutters, repaired and replaced soffits and exterior trim, painted the exterior trim, windows, and doors, caulked windows, mowed the lawn, raked the yard, removed a pine tree and overgrown bushes, trimmed trees and bushes, pulled weeds around the house, planted a new flower garden, and replaced exterior light fixtures and house numbers.
