| Steve and this summer's
Ranch Hand Specialist, Chris Maddox. Steve and Chris
completed the floor in two days, including one day of
preparation and one day of painting. |
A near complete dining room. The
epoxy is a mild tan and helps to bring out the color
of the wood on the wall and ceiling. It helps bring
a new warmth to the room. |
Steve Miller preparing the concrete
floor by filling in the existing cracks. After the cracks
were filled the floor received a coat of primer to help
the epoxy adhere to the concrete. |
Shower House

Volunteers from Front Range churches--Zion
and King of Glory in Loveland, Our Saviors in Greeley,
and Our Savior's and Trinity in Fort Collins--started
the showerhouse remodel on May 3rd, during the 1st Summer
Trip Prep Day. Projects that day include removing all
toilets and replacing all the internal components, cleaning
all surfaces with bleach and shop-vac's, removing caulk
around the countertops and floor boards, and painting
the partitions in the female side. |

Steve Miller
works on the partitions in male side of the showerhouse.
The renovations of the showerhouse include a fresh coat
of paint on the walls, partitions, ceiling, and floor,
new sinks and fixtures, and the replacement of all the
toilet valves. In the words of Chris Maddox, Ranch Hand
Specialist, "It's a new place!" Pictures of
the completed showerhouse will be coming soon. |

A special thanks to all those folks who came

time while doing it!
