      I have very textured ceilings. Some are that popcorn, and I don’t know what the other raised texture is called. It’s even worse than the popcorn ceiling for holding dust and tiny cobwebs. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning those before painting? I was even thinking about using a shop vac on a ladder with the brush attachment. I hate to think of the little white bits of popcorn all over everything in the room.

But only if they want. That would include reaction shots, but it would be tasteful because it would be part of the story and not done as exploitative viewer bait.

    My wife worked for 40 yrs in beige offices. When we bought this house she asked if I would please get rid of all the beige in the house (and it was all beige!) and paint it in bright happy colors. YES! No two rooms have the same color scheme. Most people told me no one will want to buy your house with all those colors! Well fine! Until THEY are paying the mortgage the colors stay. When its theirs, they can come in and spray the whole thing beige or I guess gray since it is the new beige. So, well well done brother by honoring these folks with what THEY want!! I hope you get a million views on this video, too.

    I don't know how else to word this, but I'm glad of all the home renovators I've seen, that you are one that's autistic. The lack of loud music and lack of excessive noise, the understanding that the homeowner should pick their own colors, and the calm (and sometimes funny) narration makes for a perfect video for me to watch (as I am also autistic). Too many organization/crafty channels focus so much on "asmr" stuff that it's physically painful for me to watch. I cannot stand most creative content these days due to the asmr takeover.
    Basically I'm saying THANK YOU for making your videos friendly to ALL of your viewers. Been loving your channel ever since I found it.

The dollar store or those stores that sell overstock or returned items usually has them for cheap. But the year before last I got a great tree (for me) during boxing week sales. Xmas stuff is always 50-75% off the last week of the year. I have to move stuff around and put things into storage to make space for the tree for the month but it's worth it.

    I used to rent a house that had these colors, the pastel orange and the light green. The living room walls alternated the orange and green colors like you described. I loved it. In the dining room they used the green and they did a technique with rags that made the paint look like it had a marbled effect and it was great. I lived there 10 years. When I moved out the landlord had the whole place painted white and it made me sad. I felt like it killed the soul of that house. These colors remind me of that house.

      I had a room size canvas purchased and I hung that on the wall and then I could paint that canvas any color I wanted much to my landlord's pleasure.

    That is so true about utilizing you tube to learn how to fix things. My dish washer was not drying anymore and i did not have the money to replace it. I went on you tube and did all of the trouble shooting suggestions and found out that the pump was broken. Went on a video on how to replace it and found a appliance replacement parts store and fixed the dishwasher myself. The ladies at the parts store asked me how I figured how to do that. I told them I graduated from you tube university 😅. Anyway I love the colors in this house. Very cottage/ boho chic

    I definitely really appreciate that you dont show the homeowners, I think that filming reactions can be exploitative. Not always, but definitely can be. I think the genuine desire to help others is a huge part of why people enjoy your videos. If you have any amount of empathy you can imagine the gratitude felt for this kindness.

    You, sir, are a miracle worker!!!
    The orange/peach paint in the living room is beautiful!! Its so bright and cheerful, Im sure that it will lift the homeowners spirit (and the fact that people care about her).
    The dark green paint in the bedroom makes it cosy. I bet she will sleep really well. And was that a velvet duvet?? Fancy!!
    Give Emily a hug for me. I'm so glad her doctor picked up on the hypercalcemia and y'all were able to get to the ER. I hope Emily is resting as much as possible until she can get surgery.
    And you, sir, need to take it easy. Dont make me use your government name. 🤨
    You cant help your homeowners or Emily if you are exhausted.

    Hi, I am the mom, from the movie Miracle Run. I’m a member.and my cleaning skills have vastly improved since watching your videos. I firmly believe organizing and cleaning your home is healthy and healing. Having autistic twins, Stephen and Phillip, I have always encouraged them to clean because it trains the brain, it will make anyone better, help reach goals and transform their life. BTW, I had my bathroom painted this bright orange, purposely: it’s a happy color.

    It's beautiful - because you not only allow her but encourage her to be herself. That is awesome. I have colors people don't like, pastel green. I like the antique vibe and those are the colors I choose. I can state from experience having colors you like means you are happier each time you go in the room. That is a present that that affects you daily. May those colors make them happy and help daily with changing moods for the better.

I cannot imagine how these homeowners felt when they saw all that you have done. I can tell you I’d be in tears and on my hands and knees kissing your feet. I am SOOOO EXCITED to see what y’all do next to this home. And I LOVE that after this one is finished you’ll find another homeowner to bless. You are amazing Mack. Truly and utterly selfless and amazing. And of course sweet Jason is as well. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for helping these people in need.

    I remember back on the farm in the old days, like the ‘70s we lived in a very small community with just a general store, a farm equipment repair, a huge church and eventually a new school. We ordered paint and such from Sears or Eatons catalogues (yes I am that old). In the seventies the colours available from Sears were Orange, Lime Green, Purple and the like. So this is like way back in my childhood👍👍

    I love these videos so much! I think they're doing so well because so many of us don't really know to/cannot afford to pay people to paint, decorate, etc. We gratefully just moved into our first home and I love it so much, but I'm so stuck on how to decorate it. It looks like we're still teenagers living with random pieces of furniture and no decor on the walls, and these videos give me so many tips and ideas! I've been making sure to watch all the ads, even the longer ones, because as someone who also struggles with mental health, I can imagine just how much of a difference this is making for them and I want to support you doing this moving forward, and I hope that your time and energy are being compensated as well from us. This is such a great accidental series!
