Makeover, Home Edition Part I

This is the first part of the Unit Lesson, "Makeover Home Edition". This lesson is designed to get the students excited about the unit.

Part II (#48967) will concentrate on inserting a pool and patio into this backyard. Part III (#49025) will deal with creating a scale drawing of this backyard. Part IV (#49090) focuses on inserting a window and painting walls inside the house.
