The Marsden Ranch held fond memories for Steve Austin, including those of fishing at the creek near the property before old man Marsden passed away. Despite the warning that the place needed repairs, Steve purchased the property from John Ellerton so that he could put down some roots in his hometown of Ojai, California. He completed extensive repairs on the home in a leisurely week, thanks to his bionics. Steve's parents, Jim and Helen Elgin, also helped to hang the kitchen wallpaper.
