2014 Christmas Eve Ride on Glass Dover Elevator at Grove Park Inn
We have filmed this elevator before but it is one of the nicer ones at GPI so we decided to do a retake for ya'll because it was running very smoothly and they have taken the carpet out and put in new flooring. I'm not sure if they plan to do any other modifications to it or not in the future. I always enjoy going to GPI and even though the chimney elevators are my favorite, they also tend to be busy quite often so we just rode those without filming them this time but think we got a good video on this one for ya'll. Merry Christmas everyone!2014-12-25 07:27:17

Happy Thanksgiving 2014
This is one of the few years that we actually spent Thanksgiving at home instead of out of town. We spent most of the day after our traditional Thanksgiving Meal getting out our Christmas Tree which happens to be 27 years old (it used to be my mom's mother's tree before my Pop-Pop gave it to my mom when my grandmother passed away in 1992) and decorating it. Dad had bought some new Christmas LED lights so we are trying those this year on the tree. They give off neat effects on the ceiling. Happy Thanksgiving to all my viewers and subscribers. I hope your day was just as great as mine...2014-11-28 01:32:08

Westinghouse Elevator with a Door Horn
Overall this elevator gave a smooth ride. Looks like original floor indicators were taken out and the door sounded like it was blowing a horn when it opened. Dad's hands were covering up most of the lens when we were getting in the elevator so I edited that part out and inserted pictures of the fixture panels instead. This is located in small shopping area in Concord, NC2014-11-23 08:33:49

Mixture Elevator at Sycamore Building at AB Tech in Asheville, NC
I call this a mixture elevator as it has epco directional indicator and also looks like US elevator floor indicator and another 3rd party for the fixtures. It looks like it is maintained by the Asheville Elevator Company. This was the first elevator we filmed at AB Tech over fall break and the last one to upload. We probably missed several buildings on campus that has elevators so we might go back there another time to make sure we got them all but for now that is what we got. If you want to check out the websites for AB Tech click here AB Tech or for Asheville Elevator Company click here Asheville Elevator Co.

Asheville Elevator at Holly Library at AB Tech in Asheville, NC
This was a neat elevator to ride although it really didn't have any floor indicators other than the fixtures and no door close button.

Otis Elevator (has been Modded) at A-B Tech College in Asheville
We stopped by Asheville-Buncombe Tech College so my Papa (who went with us on our fall break get away) could visit with one of his friends from high school days who helps runs the Southern Appalachian Radio Museum which is located at AB and after we got done visiting since it was such a nice not too hot or too cold weather day, we explored the college buildings to see what elevators they had. Here is one of the last ones we discovered yesterday. This was taken on my iPod as iPhone battery and camera battery had already given out. Sorry about some of the shaking, mom's not used to filming with the iPod and it is a lot lighter and slimmer than the other cameras we use.2014-10-18 19:41:15

Part 2 of PIXPRO SL10 Camera Review From Radio Shack Twitter Contest
Here's the car wash video taken with the PIXPRO SL10 Camera which has pretty good quality I think. The camera is really easy to use and attaches to a smart phone which serves as your view finder. Here is the link for Part One of this review Part 1 of PIXPRO SL10 Camera Review. This part 2 video review is a direct upload from memory card with no editing. I still can't import the files from this camera into the editing software program I use. That's why the review is in 2 parts. I might try another software editing program or upgrade the version I have in the future to see if it will work with this newer version of mp4 format. Thanks again to Radio Shack for having the contest. :)2014-09-13 23:25:02

For Wyatt Morhart: Full Hotel Tour Of Hampton Inn Greenville, SC
Wyatt is 4 years old & I am told he likes to watch my videos and hopes to one day stay at a Hampton Inn with me so I thought I would dedicate this hotel tour at the brand new Hampton Inn in Greenville, SC.

I hope you enjoy the video Wyatt & thanks for watching my videos.

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. For more info on the Guest House, you can visit their website & Facebook Page at Carnegie Guest House Website and Carnegie Guest House Facebook Page2014-07-05 00:54:47

Center Open Otis Elevator in Parking Garage Behind EarthFare
This parking garage is located in the Ballantyne area. Just as we were entering the elevator, there was a big clap of thunder which it hadn't been doing up until that point (just rain) so we decided to make it a quick ride. Overall, a very nice ride without any mishaps. :)2014-05-30 06:56:37

This is a short spotlight video of a couple of pages from a GWL photo book made by Shutterfly (that we got from a free offer by being a guest at GWL earlier this month) of my school's "Family Night Sleep Over".

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. Be sure to check out my other video from here as well which includes HGI's Breakfast Grill and in room Keurig Coffee Maker demonstration at this link TJ's Hilton Garden Inn Video2014-05-05 23:45:12

It was very nice to meet the General Manager, H.M.
