    I have been watching the Potter's House series since day one. Amazing how one click of a mouse can lead down a path where you, as the observer, start to welcome certain individuals into your life that you most likely will never meet face to face. Suddenly then they become part of your circle of acquaintances. The Archbold family, Josh and Jakota, Austin and all of the others who kept making repeat appearances in the series are all a part of my circle now. Thought we may never meet, you all have enriched my life a little bit, each and every one of you. Thank you.

Your painting is so warm & vibrant,much like Mary's inspiration in her work. I am so glad it's not being left in the house as I don't believe it would be as loved as it will be with Alex & Melissa. Could you,again,if Alex doesn't mind,give your TH-cam & other web site names. Thanks...a fan from California. Plus a HUGE fan of Curiosity Inc. It's been an enjoyable journey following the Inc's adventures!

    This series touched many hearts and we were all inspired in various ways, from Mary herself and how she was revealed by you in this series, to DIY tips and the people who joined you in that journey. It is an ugly duckling to swan story of a different kind. Who would have thought the "Hoarder's House" would end up the beautiful "Potter's House", with so many hidden gems inside? I am glad I got to purchase just a itsy, bitsy gem from there. And yes, Josh's picture is a wonderful tribute. I am glad you introduced us to his channel. I just bought a partly renovated summer cottage so now it is my turn to start 're-purposing' and learning DIY from scratch. :-) This series has inspired me.

In this instance you have summed up very well how many of us I think are feeling. I could write an entire novel on this series...perhaps someone should.

      Rambler here as well!!! Lol!! Makeover, I get the same thing! One guy actually argued with me the other day he wasn't going to respond to my comment why should he since my first three words told him I didn't think...when what I had said was "I don't think they meant it that way"...or something like that! Lol! And even more funny to me was it was only maybe about four lines!! Hahaha!!
      I put him in his place for being nasty without being nasty myself then he got even more nasty and called me Pavlov's dog and said not to bark bark again! So I then proceeded to lay it all out for him in his mistakes and assumptions and how much of a man they hadn't made of him and if I were him, but thanksfully I wasn't I would be ashamed of myself for treating another person who had done nothing wrong just made a comment he apparently took offense to. He did not respond again! Thank the LORD!! He was hurtful for no reason oh yeah and he tried to play it off as he was just joking words could be funny that way! Before my last comment. I just don't get why...I guess because I wouldn't do something like he was doing unless deliberately provoked! My original comment wasn't in response to him saying anything or the like...go figure!

    It has been difficult to to find the words to express how grateful I am for what you have done. I'll be 73 next month, and I'm sometimes quite cynical, especially about the younger generations. But, as I followed you on this house, you have renewed my faith that the world will continue to get better because you showed me young people with special gifts and talents, who are humble and kind, and are driven to be productive. Additionally, you and everyone you worked with, made efforts to reuse, recycle, and prevented tons of items, some extremely valuable, from being treated like garbage. As the music at the end was playing, I felt my soul relax, knowing that this special part of history, which could have been razed, has instead been preserved. Those who make a difference in the world only do so if they, their talents, and hard work, aren't forgotten. Thanks to you, Mary and many others, will be long remembered.

    I think the additions of The Potter's House sign that Heather made for you and the beautiful painting of Mary that Josh has contributed are absolutely perfect for this home. I was in tears when you panned down and showed the picture that Josh painted. All of you are artists and it is absolutely appropriate that Mary be memorialized in such ways in this home. This has been a beautiful thing to watch, it was like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. I hope you leave Josh's painting with the house. It seems appropriate for her to be there. Josh incorporated not just the pigments... but Mary's image and her signatures that she worked on developing for the pottery for the pieces that she created in the historical kiln and Pottery House out back. This was just beautiful to watch! Thank you for taking us on this journey Alex and Melissa!

    I didn't renew Prime due to the 20% increase. First TH-cam I watched(ever) & subbed was Curiosity Inc. Before the Potters series I got to explore different avenues with Alex. I started telling everyone, this man is charming and so is his family. The respect you showed for the hoarding situation was very professional. Thank you for honoring Mary's last request. A shout out to all the craftsman who helped on this restoration. Am looking forward to the next adventure.

    Josh your painting literally brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful! Please reconsider prints. We all want to keep a little piece of the Potter series for years to come, especially those that didn't have a winning bid at the auction.
    Alex and family thank you for sharing this journey with us. Can't wait to join you in your next adventure. Wonderful job with the house. I'm sure Mary would have loved it!

    BRAVO!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!
    This magnificent series is worthy of an "EMMY AWARD", it defines the loving spirit of humanity in many ways. MARY will always be remembered because of YOU Alexander and she's a guardian angel for you.
    In addition, because of YOU and the arduous process of renovation, every house in the neighborhood particularly the one right next to the property, has enjoyed free of charge a considerable increase in their property's value. You don't owe 1CENT, to that guy who put up that fence, he should send you a THANK YOU note. Jus sayin...
    Josh's painting is "Picasso Approved", BRAVO!!!
