Happy 4th of July w/ Red/White/Blue Elevator at Carnegie Guest House
To celebrate America's birthday, I thought it would be neat to go back to Davidson College which is in a small American town & film the Otis Series 7 Hydro Fit Elevator they have installed at the Carnegie Guest House which is located on campus but is open to the public. It's a very charming guest house & thanks to the friendly staff for letting us take a peak into one of the rooms. :) The elevator has a white call button as well as the inside fixtures & the floor indicator is blue background with white numbers & the carpet is a reddish burgundy color which I thought would be appropriate for the 4th of July. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed exploring the guest house. Thanks to Gluse who has filmed here on his recent trip to NC for letting me know about it. I had been to Davidson College several times but didn't know about this elevator until he told me about it.

Another Look: Best of ReGen Oits Series 7 Elevators
I have gotten several emails asking if I could show more of the ReGen Oits Elevators. I have already uploaded all the video footage I have of this particular type of elevator so far but I complied the best of the footage we have gotten into this one video for the ones wanting to take another look at it. I have also gotten a couple of questions about the Otis Medallion that I have like "where did I get it" and so on so I have included the footage of John Carpenter who on behalf of Otis Elevators presented it to me when I visited the Hampton Inn & Suites in Fort Jackson / Columbia, SC (which he is the General Manager of) back in 2012. The footage we got of the elevator shaft at Hampton Inn & Suites in Roanoke, VA is also included in this Best of Video. I also included the photos that John Carpenter had sent me of the "Machine Room Panel" opened up. Hope you enjoy it.

Full Hotel Tour of Hilton Garden Inn
This was a Christmas present from Andrea Coon so a BIG THANK YOU to her for this. I hope you enjoy the tour...On some of the segments, we have cameo appearances by Cannycart & Dieselducy from the tour we took them on via FaceTime although Dieselducy was just on audio on other phone that my dad was using. I did the best I could with editing the footage as sometimes both dad & I were talking at the same time and sometimes you could hear Dieselducy and Cannycart and then sometimes you couldn't & it was just too confusing so this hotel tour's final version is not what I had originally planned but I think it is edited in a presentable way for ya'll to enjoy. :) I would recommend staying at this hotel if in the area. You can check out their website for more info at Hilton Garden Inn Anderson,SC Website.

Thyssenkrupp Elevator at the Pioneer Building in Asheville, NC
I added a sound effect in this one. Thought it would be neat to hear this sound when pushing an elevator button. This is another quick little video we did the day we went downtown in Asheville to eat at Loretta's Café. This was one we spotted on our way back to the Hampton and decided to pop in real quick because the outside of the building looked kind of neat. We really didn't spend a whole lot of time filming in Asheville because I wanted to stay and work with my fellow team members at Hampton Inn Tunnel Road since it had been awhile from our last time up there :)2014-04-15 00:27:48

Flashback to Day Out with Thomas the Tank Engine
For Pake who is one of my younger fans who wrote and asked me if I liked Thomas the Tank Engine. I did when I was his age although I have outgrown Thomas the Tank Engine now. :) I remember it was fun to go to the "Day Out with Thomas" in Dillsboro NC & also in Spencer, NC back in I believe 2005. Pake is excited that he's going to go riding with Thomas later on this year. I hope you have a great time Pake and for now here is a little trip down memory lane of my experience with Day Out with Thomas.

Biltmore Estate Christmas 2013
Here is some footage we took on the grounds of Biltmore Estate over Thanksgiving Weekend this year. We had gone up to Asheville with my grandparents and went to a Christmas twilight tour of the Biltmore Estate which was pretty neat! We ate at the Stable Cafe and did a little bit of shopping as well. Footage is all outside of the actual house as there is no photography allowed inside the house itself. I had a lot of fun riding that historic Otis elevator inside. I had ridden it in the daytime back in 2012 when we went to Biltmore with my Aunt Brenda & Uncle Wendell but I must say it was a lot more fun to ride it when it was dark outside as you notice the cab light more (or at least I did). For pictures of Biltmore we took both in 2012 and this year, you can click on this link that takes you to photo album on my FB page Biltmore Photo Album and for the Stable Cafe pictures, click here Stable Cafe Photo Album.
