So sad to see what has become of the Potter's House. I have never seen such destruction in such a short period of time. If they are still in this small town I can't imagine anyone ever renting to them again.
First time seeing this today, also watched a video from just 7 months ago- that “ wonderful” family who was renting the house trashed it. Good thing Alex, and Melissa have great, loyal friends who helped put the house back together again. But as usual Alex didn’t dwell on the negative, and acted like the classy man that he is. That’s why I love this channel.♥️
It's heartbreaking to look back now and now know what the tenants did. I hope Alex and his family can recover the losses and not lose their faith in humanity.
Glad that a young family is moving into the house as I'm sure the house will love to hear laughter and happiness in it's interior again and you would be a great landlord to have.
My first thought too was that the house will be happier now, since it's been empty for a while. 😊 I was also glad that family is right across the street. Stable, responsible renters = happy landlord.
I’m glad the Potter’s House is going to be a home again and won’t be sitting empty during the cold weather. It was good to see it one last time! Very happy that good things continue to come your way, Alex! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving man!
How sad…now that we see what happened to the house from these “nice young renters”…you are so kind and have faith in people…you will see that this will turn out well in the end❤️
I’m so sorry you had such horrible, horrible tenants. They treated that lovely home so badly. I know you put a lot of love and effort into her. I do hope you are able to sell her successfully when it’s finished. 🏡
Your new series... "The reluctant landlord" lol Im glad these properties can cover their own costs for you an fee you up to continue chasing your dreams.
Love this! The intro song to the reluctant landlord should be his Johnny cash I hung my head cover. Just a sad slow song playing and everyone in the background is happy.
Having done maintenance and remodeling on residential and commercial rentals for 22 yrs ... As a landlord..he is in for the headaches...but at least his mortgage is being paid for him.
Scott M. Franklin NC. My hubs and I were landlords for 35 years. I don’t know how we stood it for that long. I wish him well though. We did have some really nice tenants
Unfortunately, if you've now seen the July 15, 2021 Potter House update video, it turns out that the so-called "nice young family" that rented the house has now moved out and has left the house in a complete filthy and damaged shambles. Utterly shameful!!
If the house was in America, would have bought it, in a heartbeat! That's a very cool house! Happy y'all found a renter. Prayers that they're decent people and take good care of the house!
I definitely mulled it over more than a few times. Im so used to larger city conveniences, i think it would have been hard to adjust. Plus living in san Diego all my life, i wouldnt know how to deal with that kind of cold and weather.
@@loverlei79 depends on where it in country you put it. Some places that would fetch a million in just a few days, other places it might take months to get 100 grand.
Gorgeous house, hopefully you have very responsible tenants and I pray they don't tear up or destroy the beautiful floors, and all the awesome hard work that you put in to it .
My thoughts exactly. But it is what it is, ya cant just keep eating up savings paying the mortgage on 4 places. Man I'd have ulcers worrying about that, lol. They are a lucky family to have Alex as their landlord!
I can't believe it's a year in January since yous bought the potter's House,yous are the most unselfish and happiest genuine family I've. met on TH-cam I hope you's all have more successful projects.
I started following your channel the day episode 2 of the Potter's House released! This has been an amazing journey to go along with you! So many emotions went into this house, from your side and our following ❤️ you gave a few guys a leg up on their own channels and have been an amazing mentor for them along the way. I think I can speak for everyone when I profess how proud I am to have followed you through this journey and chapter in your and your sweet family's life! ❤️
I loved this series! I want to thank you for opening my eyes. I'm a self-prescribed Level 2 Hoarder. Since watching your series, I have realized how much my mental state is like Mary's. I have valuable stuff intermingled with trash. Since watching this series I have been purging a little bit every day. I'm also cleaning pristine items up that I want to give to loved ones &/or donate. My mental, emotional, and physical disabilities very real BUT I'm focused on baby steps. Thank you! Glad I have subscribed! I appreciate your professionalism, not being judgmental, and your kindness toward wonderful Mary.
Cant believe the potters house hasn't sold yet. It's so homey and warm. Love it. Hopefully the renters will fall in love with it, and buy it. Old houses have beautiful souls....and you have made it beautiful inside and out.
I loved watching you all work on the Potter house & turn it back into a beautiful home. I'm glad that a new family will be able to enjoy living in Mary Potter's home. She was an amazing lady who lived a very great life. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
RIP Dave. At July 17, 2021, those tenants/family did terrible damage that the entire home has to be redone. Watching the video of Alex's walk thru seeing the damage was heart wrenching. Some people have no respect for someone else's property.
A blessing to you to find renters, a blessing to the grandmother and family to be living close to each other, and a blessing for them to have the school nearby. Perfect! :)
I Live Just A Couple Hours Away From Where Alex & His Family Live In Edmonton (I Live In Alberta Too) & Also A Couple Of Hours From Where The Potter House Is Too( But The Potter House Is 1 Province Away From Me In Saskatchewan 🙂) We've Been Hit By 3 Bad Snow Storms 🌨❄🌨❄🌨❄ Already !!! The First 2 Were In September (1st 1 Was Mid-September) !!! & The Last One Just Hit Us Last Week , A Few Days Before Thanksgiving !!! & Now Today it's +20 🤗 That's Life Living In Alberta !!! My GrandPa Would Always Say " If You Don't Like The Weather, Just Give It 5 Minutes....It'll Change !!!" 😂😂LOL🤣🤣
You turned that abandoned house into a gracious, historical home. Congratulations on the new chapter. I'll just bet that Mary Bergstrom is smiling down from Heaven.
I hope the new renters will take care of that beautiful house. Sooo sweet that there is a grandmother across the street. Always a blessing to have family near you when your children are growing up. Ideal...near the school! Maybe...they will be able to purchase the home at some point. THAT would be awesome! Hugs and love from NE PA USA. Love your channel! 💕💕💕
It is great to see not only someone who understands and appreciated art, and history enough to truly do this home justice. I know that Mrs. Potter looks down with pride in your efforts, and rests in the knowledge that her home is not only a prized piece of Canadian history, but is in the safe hands of someone who truly cares that this landmark will remain in the legends that it deserves. Amazing work, well done.
A lovely outcome. All the pleasure you got from rescuing the house and it's many treasures, now the house "lives again " as a family home for new residents. Great result
The word "hoarder house" got me to watch the first episode, but when you bought it is when I was really hooked. Then the cast of family, friends, and helpers became so interesting! It just grew on me (and apparently tons more people) now I'm actually sad that it's over but happy you have more adventures to share! (Hans) etc!
Glad someone will be making use of your new old house, and you get a bit of revenue coming in. The new appliances look great and will work well for the new family. Job well done. Love from BC. 🇨🇦
At least you won't have to worry so much whether or not the house is with standing the cold winter and someone will be there to keep it going. Congrats on finding renters.
I agree! It would be amazing with all that space. There's one where I live, 2 levels also and it is decked out vintage style, they have local poetry readings, and open Mic nights, they sell delectable fresh made pastries.. called Victoria station, rt by an old train depot. Nowadays ppl spend alot of time and money in those places esp with wifi access.😉
Rewatching this to see what you said about the family before they damaged the house. [I worry about the kids in that family if someone is kicking down doors ☹.] But, the pleasant surprise was seeing Dave's smiling face again and seeing you work together.
I’m a new subscriber because I saw a thumbnail of The Hoarder’s House just a couple of days ago.I watched every episode and loved it all. I think Mary’s spirit lead you to the house before she passed and made you find her pottery. I hope your renters will treat the house with the love and respect it deserves.
Alex, I am so happy you found a tenant/Family for the house. It sounds like a wonderful thing for them to be near their grandmother and the elementary school. I hope it benefits you and your family's needs as well. I can't wait for your store opening.Thanks for always, bringing us along on your vast adventures over this last year. Wow, you must be tired, you sure have covered a lot of ground!!! Take care and God Bless
Absolutely excellent,superb series. You took a hoarders house and made it into a historical, treasured home. As well as teaching people about the beautiful, awesome artist that lived a full life at that home. It is amazing and truly compassionate that you took a story that others would have made into trash TV and opened people's eyes and opinions to the true genuine beauty of a lovely, inspiring lady and her wonderful, treasured home. Thank you.
Wow! My Oakridge, Oregon house went from over flowing stuff . To freshly updated and clean. Now a Happy rental to the Grandma of the kids across the street. Small towns can be a hard place to sell a home. At least we can relax because both our houses are making Great Family memories.
I never thought I'd become as invested in this series as I did. It all started with a random recommendation and ended with me becoming a subscriber. Well done on the series and the house.
Sometimes people are avoiding possible historic houses since there are restrictions on what improvements can be made. I would like it but others might want more freedom.
My favorite part of the Potter house is that kitchen sink, it’s awesome! So happy you took us along to the house with you, cannot wait to see your new store open!
A lovely ending for a lovely home. I often see old houses in need of love and wish I could buy just one and fix it up. Thank you for sharing the journey of the Potter's House.
So happy a family gets to live in it, and now don’t have to be empty in the winter! Hope your other place gets a new owner or tenant soon! Hopefully you can enjoy your new place without all those mortgages!
I'm going back and watching the Potter's House podcasts from the beginning. I love seeing the start and the transformation. I love seeing you find treasures and every time one of her pots was uncovered it was one of those WOW moments. I became obsessed checking to see if you had put another Potter's House podcast out. It would be cool if you found another one of these kind of places to do.
Absolutely love this! So pleased a young family will get to enjoy this beautiful house with its amazing history - and how lovely that they will be living near family and close to school. You are such kind caring people Alex - you’ll be a great landlord x
Awesome that you have a renter for the Potter's house!! I am so happy that things are working out. I click so fast when I got the notification of a new video. 😀
There comes a time when any estate is finally and fully closed, when the last items have been distributed, the final sale or rental of the homestead settled, the dust -- every grain of it -- at last all swept up. Sadness is a natural reaction when we see a legacy transition to new hands. It's a cliche, but yes: life does go on and the space (occupied by our departed) now has new energy. Thank you for this extraordinary series of videos and for the glimpse into Mary's remarkable life and contributions. Thank you also -- perhaps more -- for facilitation of inevitable transitions. Nicely done.
That is great news! So happy that you won't have the stress of worrying about a house three hours drive away that's empty over the winter. I'm sure with all the renos nothing would have gone wrong, but definitely better to have someone in there to keep an eye on things. The Potters House with little feet running around, laughter and conversation in the rooms, snowmen and toys in the yard... awesome!!! It's a home again.
*this is blowing my mind and moving me to tears. i've seen tons and tons of hoarding and plenty of renovations but this one is top of the line. truly a masterpiece of excellent work. so very impressive.*
Sounds like the perfect fit for the potter's house for a young family and yourself :) Laughter, and love flowing again and with Grandma right across the street :)
Im sure they will enjoy living in the house especially with its history and lovely renovations...and having an awesome landlord too. New energy and life for the house with many memories to be made.
I’m so glad your videos were recommended in my news feed. I’ve enjoyed them very much! The house turned out beautifully and I’m sure Mary is smiling down on all you’ve done! The videos with Dave in them are so precious!
I watched your video yesterday about this house and I remember when you posted this video. The people who "lived" there obviously went out of their way to destroy it. It's disgusting that people are like that. It took a lot of effort to do that much damage to a house.. They definitely weren't the "great" family you thought they were.
Diane Rivera, what I have learned over the years is people never cease to disappoint. Knowing how much work, love and respect went into the restoration how could anyone destroy all that, walk away and then ask for their security deposit in beyond my comprehension. I hope "karma" bites them in the ass.
Lovely home. I hope the renters are good and help in the care of it. I've particularly been following this story... and wish you and family good fortune. My children are in their forties now and as they grew up I tried to instill they needed to give 110% in all they do... 100% effort and 10% care... and they will be judged on the 10%. They are successful in their lives, and I am too, because I hear my lessons being preached back to me by them. I see this in your videos, the care. The love you take is the love you make. God bless you all.
I do love everything about the Potter's home. Thanks for sharing this story of history and artist. I love your choice of music to set the mood for the story.
I am happy for you to have a Tennant in the house going into the winter. I was hoping maybe we would get to "meet" the new Tennant's too. I know a lot of people shy away from cameras.
This is such a great and remarkable transformation! There was so much work in the house! You've had an amazing year with the Potter's House and the General Store. My hat is truly off to you, Alex, for the prodigious amount of work you've done on all these properties!
Don't forget to tell to subscribe and put THUMBS UP! I am so glad you showed the house! I spent all yesterday watching all the series but it did not show the kitchen tiling finished or the bedrooms upstairs and today when I turned on you tube the showing of the finished house was shown! I was so happy! Then tonight I found this segment! Good job young man. You are extremely nice. Your parents raised you right! I am 72 and it is so nice to see someone be compassionate to others while they are struggling to start a new way of life. Kudos to you! Beautiful wife and children. You are truly blessed!
Glad it worked out Alex. Soon you'll be a real estate tycoon too. Hard work, love, and good character works wonders. Well done! Your family is deserves success. 👏👏👏
So very happy a young family with children will be living there and enjoying this beautiful home. I'm also very happy this is one less thing you have to worry about right now. If only I lived nearby, that house would definitely be mine. Thank you Alex for such an enjoyable series. I love the new store as well, but the Potter's house touched me deeply.
Looking back when u bought it, I’ve never thought u would have invest that much money and done so much in this house ? What a journey and lot of memories we can share with u Alex Welcome 💐 to u new family🥂🍾 in ur new home🏡 .... u will bring back this house to life !
Helen Australia 🇦🇺 I've loved being on this Potter House Journey.. From day one.... Now a lovely family will enjoy the comfort of your long hard work...🌟
CONGRATULATIONS on the new renters! That house has such presence! It has a certain thro-back feel that comes through so well, even on video. Hope you and the family had a Great Thanksgiving! 🏰😁🎃🌞
The Potter house is a very nice family home with lots of room for life to happen. Really looks great after the reno. Mary's house and life run along similar veins as mine, it was eye opening for me. Thanks for the great videos.
It is bittersweet to see Dave and to know he passed only a few months after this. 🥲🥲🥲 what a wonderful man
The Potter's House series was the reason I subscribed to your channel. So nice to see some closure after all your hard work. :)
That's what I say Yip-pee!
Me too. Now I'm hooked on Curiosity Inc.
Me 3!!
Me also! LOL Glad he got to show Mary before she passed! ❤
That's when I subscribed too! It was the first time I ever watched him.
So sad to see what has become of the Potter's House. I have never seen such destruction in such a short period of time. If they are still in this small town I can't imagine anyone ever renting to them again.
I am hoping lots of people will offer to help with the repairs. I felt so bad for Alex.
First time seeing this today, also watched a video from just 7 months ago- that “ wonderful” family who was renting the house trashed it.

@@nataliegraham9552 yes I hope the house will give more hope for more children and a stable life.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they should BUY the house?
maybe that will be the idea rent then buy
Amy Becker my thought exactly.
I’m glad the Potter’s House is going to be a home again and won’t be sitting empty during the cold weather. It was good to see it one last time!
Very happy that good things continue to come your way, Alex! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving man!
How sad…now that we see what happened to the house from these “nice young renters”…you are so kind and have faith in people…you will see that this will turn out well in the end❤️
Oh dang. I just found this and am watching in order😢
I don't want to see the outcome now
I hope the new renters have seen the Potter House series and feel all the love that went into the renovations. Imagine living in a piece of history!
I was thinking the same thing, about living in a piece of history! How cool!
If they haven’t l’m sure they will. It’s so exciting to know the history of your abode.
Wish you had introduced us to those people so we could see just who tore up your nice house. And to think their grandmother lived across the street.
Sadly the family ended up being a nightmare. My gosh the house looked beautiful Alex. I see why you feel kicked in the gut.
I know Mary is smiling knowing that a young family will be living there. There certainly will be many laughter and a wonderful new chapter..
I’m so sorry you had such horrible, horrible tenants. They treated that lovely home so badly. I know you put a lot of love and effort into her. I do hope you are able to sell her successfully when it’s finished. 🏡
Your new series... "The reluctant landlord" lol
Im glad these properties can cover their own costs for you an fee you up to continue chasing your dreams.

Love this! The intro song to the reluctant landlord should be his Johnny cash I hung my head cover. Just a sad slow song playing and everyone in the background is happy.

Having gone back and watched the labor of love here….. it makes me even more sad! The downstairs bathroom tile was beautiful!

What I want to know is why they punched so many holes in the walls?
@@SirReptitious Well, maybe they were a "nice young family" of boxing kangaroos!
Oh I’m so sorry . Good luck finding a wonderful family to live there. . Unbelievable people !
What those renters did was deliberate and disgusting. They should be criminally prosecuted or at least forced to pay damages.
Does anyone else get misty eyed whenever they see Josh's beautiful and loving portrait of Mary?
If the house was in America, would have bought it, in a heartbeat! That's a very cool house! Happy y'all found a renter. Prayers that they're decent people and take good care of the house!
Frank, I thought the same where I lived, after a while you don't notice, now it's a sound I miss after I moved.
I definitely mulled it over more than a few times. Im so used to larger city conveniences, i think it would have been hard to adjust. Plus living in san Diego all my life, i wouldnt know how to deal with that kind of cold and weather.
I honestly don't think it would have lasted a day in the American Market. I was heart broken when they auctioned all the stuff in it.😭

Cant believe the potters house hasn't sold yet. It's so homey and warm. Love it. Hopefully the renters will fall in love with it, and buy it. Old houses have beautiful souls....and you have made it beautiful inside and out.
They certainly do. I hope Mary's not hanging about. That would creep me out. Lol Even though I'm sure, that she was a wonderful kind lady...

So wonderful that there will be a family in the Potter's house again! New lives for them & the house!

Sometimes people are avoiding possible historic houses since there are restrictions on what improvements can be made.
I would like it but others might want more freedom.
Historic houses are a very specific market. It’s adorable but you wouldn’t be able to renovate it without a process.

So happy a family gets to live in it, and now don’t have to be empty in the winter! Hope your other place gets a new owner or tenant soon! Hopefully you can enjoy your new place without all those mortgages!
I'm going back and watching the Potter's House podcasts from the beginning. I love seeing the start and the transformation. I love seeing you find treasures and every time one of her pots was uncovered it was one of those WOW moments. I became obsessed checking to see if you had put another Potter's House podcast out. It would be cool if you found another one of these kind of places to do.
Ikr, the transformation of the general store wss way to quick lol.
Absolutely love this! So pleased a young family will get to enjoy this beautiful house with its amazing history - and how lovely that they will be living near family and close to school. You are such kind caring people Alex - you’ll be a great landlord x
Amazing job on that house! So glad a new family will be enjoying it.
So pleased a family is in the house & hopefully loving it. Thanks for the update Alex! ❤️👍😘
Awesome that you have a renter for the Potter's house!! I am so happy that things are working out. I click so fast when I got the notification of a new video. 😀
There comes a time when any estate is finally and fully closed, when the last items have been distributed, the final sale or rental of the homestead settled, the dust -- every grain of it -- at last all swept up. Sadness is a natural reaction when we see a legacy transition to new hands. It's a cliche, but yes: life does go on and the space (occupied by our departed) now has new energy. Thank you for this extraordinary series of videos and for the glimpse into Mary's remarkable life and contributions. Thank you also -- perhaps more -- for facilitation of inevitable transitions. Nicely done.
Yay! The Potter's house is going to come alive again with love and laughter. I am glad you got it rented. Thank you for sharing!
Love, laughter, and unfathomable squalor and filth, it turns out.
That is great news! So happy that you won't have the stress of worrying about a house three hours drive away that's empty over the winter. I'm sure with all the renos nothing would have gone wrong, but definitely better to have someone in there to keep an eye on things. The Potters House with little feet running around, laughter and conversation in the rooms, snowmen and toys in the yard... awesome!!! It's a home again.
Happy to see a family will breathe life into that amazing historic home. :)
*this is blowing my mind and moving me to tears. i've seen tons and tons of hoarding and plenty of renovations but this one is top of the line. truly a masterpiece of excellent work. so very impressive.*
Glad you found a renter, warms my heart! ❤️❤️
What a fantastic job you have done with the house , the new tenants are so lucky to have a landlord that cares as much as you do .
Sounds like the perfect fit for the potter's house for a young family and yourself :) Laughter, and love flowing again and with Grandma right across the street :)
Only in dreamland. Turned out to be a nightmare.😢
I'm so glad you found a family for the Potter's House! She'll be happy, again!! Thanks for keeping us in the loop!!
Im sure they will enjoy living in the house especially with its history and lovely renovations...and having an awesome landlord too. New energy and life for the house with many memories to be made.
You weren't sure enough. They were trash!
@@happydays59 no one knew that at the time.
I’m so glad your videos were recommended in my news feed. I’ve enjoyed them very much! The house turned out beautifully and I’m sure Mary is smiling down on all you’ve done!
The videos with Dave in them are so precious!
I watched your video yesterday about this house and I remember when you posted this video. The people who "lived" there obviously went out of their way to destroy it. It's disgusting that people are like that. It took a lot of effort to do that much damage to a house.. They definitely weren't the "great" family you thought they were.
Diane Rivera, what I have learned over the years is people never cease to disappoint. Knowing how much work, love and respect went into the restoration how could anyone destroy all that, walk away and then ask for their security deposit in beyond my comprehension. I hope "karma" bites them in the ass.
Lovely home. I hope the renters are good and help in the care of it. I've particularly been following this story... and wish you and family good fortune.
My children are in their forties now and as they grew up I tried to instill they needed to give 110% in all they do... 100% effort and 10% care... and they will be judged on the 10%. They are successful in their lives, and I am too, because I hear my lessons being preached back to me by them. I see this in your videos, the care. The love you take is the love you make. God bless you all.
I do love everything about the Potter's home. Thanks for sharing this story of history and artist. I love your choice of music to set the mood for the story.
Oh my gosh, Alex...wonderful!
Divine plan is always better than anything we could plan. ❣❣❣
I am happy for you to have a Tennant in the house going into the winter. I was hoping maybe we would get to "meet" the new Tennant's too. I know a lot of people shy away from cameras.
This is such a great and remarkable transformation! There was so much work in the house! You've had an amazing year with the Potter's House and the General Store. My hat is truly off to you, Alex, for the prodigious amount of work you've done on all these properties!
Yea - Congratulations !
Hope the - Potters House has a loving family for years to come. 😃 🏡
So glad you found the perfect family for this beautiful home!!!
Can just imagine Mary smiling!!! XXX
Don't forget to tell to subscribe and put THUMBS UP! I am so glad you showed the house! I spent all yesterday watching all the series but it did not show the kitchen tiling finished or the bedrooms upstairs and today when I turned on you tube the showing of the finished house was shown! I was so happy! Then tonight I found this segment! Good job young man. You are extremely nice. Your parents raised you right! I am 72 and it is so nice to see someone be compassionate to others while they are struggling to start a new way of life. Kudos to you! Beautiful wife and children. You are truly blessed!
Glad it worked out Alex. Soon you'll be a real estate tycoon too. Hard work, love, and good character works wonders. Well done! Your family is deserves success. 👏👏👏
So very happy a young family with children will be living there and enjoying this beautiful home. I'm also very happy this is one less thing you have to worry about right now. If only I lived nearby, that house would definitely be mine. Thank you Alex for such an enjoyable series. I love the new store as well, but the Potter's house touched me deeply.
I’m glad it won’t be sitting empty anymore.
Looking back when u bought it, I’ve never thought u would have invest that much money and done so much in this house ?
What a journey and lot of memories we can share with u Alex

I've loved being on this Potter House Journey..
From day one....
Now a lovely family will enjoy the comfort of your long hard work...🌟
Good to see Dave again, hi Dave! Renters, wow how exciting!
Melissa favors her Dad...love the showing of the potter house :)))
Glad to see you found a solution... if they are good tenants keep them there as long as you can and they will stay. Nice work guys.
The Potter’s house is beautiful. Now it has some love to give back.
So beautiful,you are such a hard worker and have done a wonderful job. Thank you for a wonderful series
CONGRATULATIONS on the new renters! That house has such presence! It has a certain thro-back feel that comes through so well, even on video. Hope you and the family had a Great Thanksgiving! 🏰😁🎃🌞
The interior is just beautiful. What a great reno! Would love it! ❤️🇦🇺
It’s going to make a beautiful beautiful home.
I’m also pretty envious that they’ll be getting such a lovely landlord
So glad you were able to rent the Potter House! One less thing to worry about. Hopefully the tenants will love and appreciate such a beautiful home!
Awesome glad you got a renter for a beautiful house. Hopefully they love it as much as you do.
The Potter house is a very nice family home with lots of room for life to happen. Really looks great after the reno. Mary's house and life run along similar veins as mine, it was eye opening for me. Thanks for the great videos.
