Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Hotel Bobert, Luray
Thanks, Amos, fir the assist...
Yeah, folks... Just check out those great pics... Actually, the original house was built between 1815 and 1930... Then in 1888 a hotel was built around the original house...
I have spent 4 years on it and the list is almost endless of what has been accomplished but here are some of the biggies:
1. 35 tons of plaster, lathe and debris removed...
2. All 62 windown removed, reglazed, repainted, glass replaced where necessary and restrung with weights so that each opens like they did way back then...
3. All structural issues repaired from foundation up...
4. Handicapped assessible bathroom, entarnce and 1st floor...
5. Each unit has it's own electric meter and circuit panel...
6. 2 miles of new wiring (all to code and inspected)
7. 3000 feet of new plumbing pipe run to date including all new sewage and water supply lines...
8. Original 1890's teracota sewaer pipe found and boxed...
9. New water supply line into building...
10. All asbestos dealt with... Pipes wrapped with insulation, then plastic and then taped... Floors covered with glued and screwed subflooring...
