Finishing tearing off. Then starting sheeting. Heck it’s already hot.

I hope you brought some amigos with you.
I saw a video a while ago that had a chap demonstrating how you can use an iron (I think) to check for bed bugs in hotels. It was filmed somewhere quite swanky and he said something like ‘Obviously this is an upmarket hotel so we won’t find any, but if in doubt you can just do this to…oh shit’, as hundreds of bugs emerged from the mattress. However he did it was clearly very effective.

Doing roofs or at the motel?
Is the hotel run by an Indian family? They can take a really shitty place and upgrade it into a shitty place by doing the repairs and maintenance you’ve shown.
your a good son.
you call that “needed some work?”

Tearing off and decking half the roof this weekend. Will do other half next weekend.
Fucking roofing companies are insanely priced. I didn’t want her to have to dish out all that cash.

Stayed at a questionable hotel for a very short airport stay recently.
Not easy man. Not easy. It gets harder as you get older. Think next time I’m just buying an inflatable mattress and renting SUV I can crash in.

had to travel for my son’s baseball tournament and the only hotel left to book was a $100/night one all the other parents booked last minute
one set of parents found a used syringe in the corner of their closet
another set of parents found a burnt spoon with residue under the bed
another parent found actual bed bugs on their sheets
NEVER book a room just bc it is $100/ night
always choose whatever is more expensive than whatever is the cheapest option in the area

i thought bed bugs were almost invisible. yikes!
back in my more adventurous days of shoestring travels I used to stay in those kinds of places where they probably were not so diligent in laundering the bedding and cleaning the rooms
as I matured and became more familiar with “the finer things” and more aware of the RISKS of germs and disease I traveled less because PAYING A LOT for a bed to sleep wasn’t going to help me on my path to becoming a financially FREE man
I do know of a person who stayed at a “budget” type hotel and had the misfortune of stepping on a drug needle and had to suffer regular aids and other testing for a spell
so that PLAGUE thing I posted above should not be taken lightly

No they are very visible and easy to find. I used to work in the hotel industry and I would go along with pest control any time we would have inspections. Did that shit hundreds of times.
Look for black spots on the under side of bed, box spring and blankets. The black spots are their excrement. The bugs themselves are flat, circular shaped and brown.
Rasky you are a fine gentleman and you deserve all the finer things.
But I’m just a regular old white gutter gorilla. So I don’t tend to worry about shit. More often than not, if there is an issue I am the one causing it
