Fancy European Hotels get Bubba's HVAC Maintenance, Too

Another nice hotel explored for all the unthoughtful building science that went into it.

Buckets are an integral part of the leaky pipe management system... the drips collect in the buckets buckets and evaporate over time. This stops the drips spoiling the ceiling. The problem is if the evaporation rate is slower than the drip rate...

I love the scobies that live in the buckets, very cool

At least hotels in Europe generally dont have carpets.

glad to know I am not the only one that checks filters in my hotel rooms. There have been at least a half a dozen times that I have rinsed the filters off in the bath or sink.

I can see you doing that, Chris- hope you're having a great summer buddy

[@strivinghigher7005]

I'm an HVAC tech and virtually every time I go to a hotel or Airbnb I check the filter and clean them if possible...definitely a good practice to implement.

Open ceiling return plenum. You see that alot in commercial buildings to reduce return duct static and reduce costs. The flip side is you breathe whatevers up there.

You’re gonna love the next one Tim buddy

Now you've gone and plugged the shower drain with the gunk washed out of the filter. Boy are you in trouble now! 😅

[@HomePerformance]

Wait til you see what our kids flushed down the john ;)

The old Ricola commercial comes to mind: “Breath deep my pasty friend”

This is why I love my camper.
Its mine, any crud in there is my fault, my problem, and my own family’s gross instead of everyone who’s been in the room since it was built and the filter forgotten about

Good point Nathan

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

Only problem is they don't float or fly too well.

[@ronm6585]

Damn. Thanks for sharing.

You sure the exhaust fan works with 27 layers of paint covering it. So do you get to deduct the Air Mileage on your Taxes because it's a working Vacation?

Gross!
Your toiletries packaging are in English?

Eco-Green is the universal language I guess Bill
