Any act which changes the character of property is, technically, waste. Ameliorating waste is that which results in benefit and not in an injury, so that it in fact improves the inheritance. Examples of this kind are the turning of pasture land into arable land and vice versa and the conversion of rundown dwellings into modern, productive shops.
