The Original state of The Lance Cabin in Steamboat Springs

Notes

Quotes of love and verses from you placed in the foundation prior to pouring the concrete.

Footing

The concrete footing after pouring.

ARXX

This is an ARXX foundation, insulated foam blocks that hold the concrete in.

Lifted

Praise God when we lifted the Cabin off it's original foundation it did not split in half.

Move Day

Moving the cabin was a 35 mile adventure, we drew some crowds and thankfully made it over the train bridge.

Crane day

To get the Lance Cabin on the foundation we had to crane it on, thankfully Terry's Crane and Rigging did it for us on the cheap! Thanks Terry!

Like Lego's

That little stem wall you see in the picture had to match the foundation perfect, just a little too big or too small and we would have had big problems. But it fit.

Steve Schmidt

Steve came all the way from Indianapolis to help for a few days, he got to do lots of demo work.

Tear down

We had to tear out quite a bit before we began the remodel process

Studs

The outer wall was made of some insulated board that was in pretty bad shape, so we had to take it down to the studs.

New

New plywood and house wrap went up

Sledge

Garage door look

The house was originally a garage prior to being a home, but we couldn't keep this look.

Halfway

This was the halfway point of tearing out the garage door look and making it flush

Complete

The new look without the garage doors.

Spray Foam

One of our goals at En Gedi is to keep long term operating costs down, so spray foam was pricey, but will pay off in the end.

Bruner's

The Bruner Family came out one day and stained 1400 linear feet of siding, kids included. Thanks Dave, Kim, Dakota, Courtney, Cadence!

Radiant Floor Heat

Radiant floor heat was added to keep the toes warm, plus it is super enegery effecient, again keeping costs down.

Tom

Tom is the plumber who did most of the radiant floor heat

David Cox

David came up from Denver to help for four days. He was a HUGE help. Thanks David.

Ralph and Dennis

Ralph and Dennis handled all the electrical and drywall, and gave lots of great advice on numerous other things.

Roof

We were hoping the original roof would last a couple more years, but by the time we got the cabin into place it was in really bad shape. So a new roof went up
