A Tour of the Hampton Inn in Sevierville, Tennessee
This was a very nice Hampton Inn. It is of the older styles Hampton that is in the starting process of renovations at the moment. We had a very nice stay and the staff is very friendly. If you ever are in the Sevierville area which is very close to Pigeon Forge, I would recommend this hotel. :) I will be uploading the video of the whirlpool suite that we stayed in (along with another room tour with the head housekeeper) soon. There are pictures of the Whirlpool Suite included in this clip however. I was having a bit of trouble with some of the files on the one camera card. Some of this may seem to be a bit choppy at times but we were having camera issues either locking up or not focusing right and also shutting off with the battery dying at one point. We did the best we could with these particular files that seemed to be affected. This was my 2nd look into a pool equipment room which was pretty neat.2013-04-17 05:23:00

Very Interesting Find at Hampton Inn&Suites in Raleigh, NC / Crabtree Valley Mall
Happy Easter to all. Here is a treat I believe you will enjoy. These are very similar to the Otis Gen2 with Machine Roomless Gearless system Elevators at Hampton Inn & Suites in Columbia SC / Fort Jackson but these do have a room that says Elevator Equipment (unlike the ones in SC) & they don't have the machine room on the inner doorframe on level 6 (like the ones in SC do) but they run & look very similar to each other in every other aspect including the fixtues. These were pretty busy today so we didn't get a good long video like we wanted to but when we are back in the Raleigh area - I plan to go back here to ride these again. BTW, this is a very COOL Hampton Inn & Suites. Take a moment to check out my FB page for photos of the hotel - you will not believe the pool set up! You can also check out the website and FB page for the hotel too. See URL links below :) www.facebook.com/tjelevatorfan

In this video clip - we tour a king whirlpool suite with the general manager Vicky Gunther who recognized me in the lobby of her hotel when mom&I went to check out the renovations that this Hampton Inn&Suites has recently undergone and was very kind to take time out of her busy schedule to give us a tour.

Vicky told us that they are in the process of getting new furniture for the rooms to go along with the rest of the hotel's new look. We will be going back to get an after room renovation video tour when they are ready. In the next video from this Hampton, we will tour a double queen suite and go on the roof top so stay tuned....2013-03-27 21:15:39

Dieselducy's First Ride in Grove Park Inn's Historic Chimney Otis Elevator
I had to do some audio editing on this clip as the conversation of the first group we went up with did nothing to add to the video so that is why you hear part of a conversation twice. I left the sounds of the elevator in so ya'll could see how smooth and quiet the elevator does run. This elevator was pretty busy and you will be able to tell that sometimes I wasn't paying attention to my filming but overall I think it gives a pretty good impression of Dieselducy's first encounter with this historic elevator. We did get another video of this elevator's twin in the 2nd chimney on Sunday before heading out to go home and it was less busy then so we got a better video of that one and I will be uploading it at some point. These elevators are in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. To find out more info about these elevators, you can check out my earlier video of the operator sharing facts about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KysKXOpObxc & also if you want to see what a room in the historic inn looks like, you can check out this special video youtu.be/jDfB7IFfJ_A that also features the historic elevators again as well as giving you a view of a room.

For JoshCraver9000: HD Retake of Otis Elevator at Hampton Inn in Rock Hill, SC
While in SC this past weekend, we stopped in at the Hampton Inn in Rock Hill to do an HD Retake of the elevators. They had changed the elevator cab as it used to have wood panel which I think I liked better than what they have in the cab now.2013-02-04 23:07:56

Video of My Radio Interview with Duncan McFadyen on WFAE 90.7 FM
Thanks to Duncan who invited me to come for an interview on his Morning Edition Show on WFAE. This is the video footage that mom and dad took during the interview. This was my first time being interviewed for radio. It was fun but as you probably can tell, I was a little nervous.

For Elevatorama: More Elevators at the Blake Hotel in Charlotte, NC
Thanks to Elevatorama for letting me know about these being opened. Check out his YT Channel. He's got some really good videos. These elevators are located in the section that has been closed every time we have been to the Blake Hotel so this was my first time riding these :) I am not sure what brand but think maybe Montgomery Kone but not sure. BE SURE to watch the 2nd elevator we ride as it seemed to be super fast going up and had awesome motor sound with very slow closing doors.2013-02-04 01:46:17

Requsted Retake&Another Great Mod Job by Thyssenkrupp Elevators
This was requested by YT User 55466244. These were originally Otis when we first filmed these back in 2011. The cab itself looks pretty much the same except for the phone and fixture panel and of course the grocery beep and lobby indicators. This time we were actually able to go all the way to the roof which was neat as last time floor 9 was the highest we could go without a key card. Will post the first video of these when they were Otis as video response. Hope you enjoy.2013-02-03 08:11:25

Plaza Hotel Classic Dover Traction Elevators Modded by Thyssenkrupp Elevators
Plaza Hotel is in process of renovations which includes the wonderful Dover elevators they used to have. I really liked the Classic Dover but I think TKE did a great job on the mod. I believe these are Mad fixtures w/ the grocery beep. Notice call button lights up red but inside fixtures are blue along with the floor indicators. I will post the video we did of these elevators when they were Dover as a video response to this one.2013-02-03 03:11:28

Requested HD Retake of Schindler Elevators at Ballantyne Hotel in Pineville, NC
I found this retake footage on a camera card that I just recently found and was going through to see what was on it. This was actually taken a couple months ago. Someone had requested us to do an HD Retake of these elevators. I believe Cabs&Surfaces Inc. refurbished these cabs. I'm sorry I do not remember who actually requested this video but here you go.2013-01-27 00:54:44

Road Footage to Asheville, NC: From Our December Trip 2012
For all you who like road footage clips. Here is one from last December (2012) when we went up to Asheville, NC right before Christmas. It was trying to snow but never really did a whole lot but you can see some of it while we were driving. I have been kind of busy lately with a major school project that includes 5 states so I haven't had a lot of time to film or edit videos lately but I do have some exciting things happening in February for my YouTube uploads so stay tuned for more details...2013-01-27 00:07:13

A Unique Tour of the Hampton Inn at Lake Norman
Special thanks to Jessica Piotrowski and her Hampton Team Members along with Travis Dancy from Visit Lake Norman for making this visit so memorable for me. I hope you enjoy watching this as it has been a challenge to get this video processed & uploaded with over 10 failed attempts & 2 unsuccessful uploadings. I believe the problem was that for some reason the individual video files on the flip camera somehow got corrupted because when we plugged the flip camera into the computer, we got an error message asking us if we wanted to fix flip camera before proceeding any further. On a couple of the files there is a little bit of the audio track missing although it is not much and then some of the video clips would not play. For more info at Visit Lake Norman, check out their website @ www.visitlakenorman.org & for more info on this Hampton, check out their website @ hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/north-carolina/hampton-inn-charlotte-cornelius-i-77-north-CLTCRHX/index.html2013-01-17 01:44:52

Double Video: 2 Holiday Inn Express&Suites Hotels with Thyssenkrupp Elevators
Both in Columbia, SC. One in the Fort Jackson area and the other one located on Two Notch Road off I-77. I believe the elevators on Two Notch Rd have been modded. I'm not sure but it could have originally been a Dover (note the Dover buzz) also, I think the hotel might have originally been a Sheraton before HIE.2013-01-01 00:54:12

Hampton Inn & Suites in Columbia SE Fort Jackson, SC Tour
Huge thanks to general manager John Carpenter for taking us on a behind the scenes tour of his wonderful new Hampton Inn hotel. We go on to the roof and we also get to see the Mechanical, Telephone & Electrical rooms. We got to tour several room types plus kitchen and the back patio where they have a very nice grill and pool & fitness areas. For some reason, we missed out filming the front patio where they had a fire pit which is very nice. I hope to go back soon as I was feeling under the weather when we were there but didn't want to postpone the trip. Be sure to check out their facebook page at www.facebook.com/HamptonInnColumbiaSE. I also had a request to upload the segment where John is discussing specifics of the elevators so stay tuned as that is at the end of video. You can also check out my facebook page for more photos on this neat hotel. www.facebook.com/tjelevatorfan. Some of the material in this full hotel tour may have already been uploaded in separate videos but we had both mom and dad filming so it is from a different perspective somewhat. :) The elevator scenes at the end are the same as the video of them uploaded already but in this clip, it has the extra audio of John discussing the specifics of the elevator system. That was really the best video we got of the elevators. The other clips we had gotten of the elevators has people getting in and out on various floors so we decided not to use that part of our footage . Hope you enjoy it. www.otis.com/site/us/ pages/Gen2Elevator.aspx?menuID=22012-12-26 08:05:14
