Historic Hotel Berry Bed and Breakfast, llc
Coming soon… Historic Hotel Berry Bed and Breakfast. This is a lovely railroad hotel built in 1906 By Mr. Berry from Minot ND. Built before electricity and water came to town, my objective is to restore the hotel while bringing it up to code.
As for the age of this picture: That tree by my neighbor’s shed took over the sidewalk and is now a stump.
I have been wanting to restore the mural for years, but many other projects take priority. These past few years have seen a definite decrease in the visibility of the mural. She is fading fast. It is now, or never.
This picture brings back memories. In an earlier post, i showed how we had to repair the damaged floor nearly destroyed by a former remodeler, I mentioned that afterward, I brought 100 sheets of 5/8ths 4×12 and stored them on this floor. (Each sheet weighs 104 lbs.) . Here is where we use all but one sheet.
We have been working on three projects. I got close to finnishiing the second bath, then we went to the walls. then we the floor. This monsterous project keeps growning. let me show you some of what we have been doing.
I guess I do not have pictures of the second bath. Here is one where we are placing the tile I used the same pattern for the floor. and edged is with a four inch strip. More pictures coming when it is cleaned and completed.
Th original cast iron tub was a right handed tub. I built the enclave or a left handed tub. The tub isin storage and I baught a new metal tub. When I get a piture, I will insert it here.
The walls for the toilet and sink. Again no picture. We moved a lot of tuff into this room so getting a picture now is not … well, it is a constructions zone. I am aout towo good working days from finnihingthe bathroom. maybe a week. but we moved on to the walls.
Finally, I return to the second bath with a camera.
Not as fancy as the first bath, but this one has the stand up shower in the cove bathtub.
A little more work to do on the door trim and the shelves and towel racks.
