Country estate clear out, recap live chat and Q&A

[@mbpandora50]

As someone who just came across your channel, via a friend’s fb post referencing the Potters House, I’ve been binge watching and now going through the playlists etc. I haven’t been watching any streaming movies or tv series other than yours! You and your family and friends show what care, respect and compassion are about. Alex your commentary while going through things often has me laughing and just keeps me engaged. Always glad to see Melissa along as well the kids. Best to you as you move forward.

[@lynnoliver2168]

Potter house yes that is a good one. 🇨🇦

[@dreileigh9210]

Alex my dad just passed and I had to clean out his house and I learned a lot from you how to organize the clean out. You helped immensely🌹 you did that in Two weeks YOU are the boss!!!!

[@theresathompson1029]

THANK YOU for NOT swearing and keeping the content of your videos very family friendly!!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Always!

[@amysimpson646]

The house clean outs are my favorite videos.

[@b4peace1]

I love following the “Potter House Family” (Hans, Zinovia, Josh)who have been together fixing/clearing houses for many years! And Alexander and Melissa, being the leaders of the family, are awesome. Thanks to your family for your kindness and for keeping the “family” together! Happy Holidays from chilly, but no snow, St. Petersburg, FL 🌞.

[@valerieparr4454]

I can't help thinking if I were the owners I would be giving you a commission for helping them sell the house so quickly and for a premium. Love your clean out videos and hope you do more!

[@kenc1800]

Albany, New York here and I have followed you for years! I love your practical knowledge, generous heart and fantastic work ethic. Your friends along the way are sincere and wonderful content addition.

[@kenc1800]

You “scored” with the rototiller and snow blower.

[@pennybailey8763]

It was great to see Hans!

[@kchwilka5428]

And Zenobia too!!!

[@PatSimmons-g4r]

How great that the property sold immediately - thanks to you guys. What an amazing job you did. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. Very best wishes from Australia.

[@gailjohnston6102]

Hi guys. Glad to hear you are your own agent and not tied to any network. You definitely know what you're doing and have a huge following. You entertain your followers in such a diverse arena. From car restoration, storage units,picking ,home clear outs. You're the best. Looking forward to you flipping. You did it with an Airstream , I remember. Best is ahead.❤

[@kristi9475]

Thanks, Alex and Melissa, for your great videos. When you did the first walk-through on the house I could see that there was SO MUCH STUFF but not a lot of value. You went over and above to clean out the home. My husband and I helped clear out our parents' houses, both absolutely crammed full. We vowed never to leave that task to our kids so have done a major downsize and declutter. It's been quite freeing and surprisingly easy to let stuff go.

[@K.L.M.Online]

I didn’t know about the potential tv show, I’m glad that you all are free now 😁 I do enjoy the entire house clear outs - and loved the whole team who worked on the potter’s house - and of course the house after you all finished it!

[@catzrule5973]

Seeing the snow behind you makes me think of those blue spruce(?) trees at the proprety. I bet they look stunning with a layer of snow!

[@sheilanieto3656]

You and your wife and children are just soo wonderful, loved how your kids helped you. You definitely have a great TV personality

[@barbfrank917]

Melissa you're so beautiful, a great helpmate ❤

[@kenc1800]

@@barbfrank917 I totally AGREE! Great teacher, wonderful wife and a talented gardener.

[@LucyGirl-61]

Agreed!

[@WanitaOsgatharp]

I would like to see more clean outs from beginning to end. Such a nice thing you all done for this retired couple, and preserving the beauty back to what it was once. You both are so conscious of other people's belongings. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AHEAD AND BLESS YOU ALL...❤🎉❤🎉

Man, if I were that family - I would just give you all of your money back - with how much you helped them.

[@peggybegin8241]

That was a wonderful clean out. I enjoyed it so much. It really was a beautiful home and property. It was interesting to see all the treasures...sentimental and valuable. Wow, so neat that it sold the same day! Thank you for blessing these people. God bless you ❤🙏🏻

[@LindaSesker]

Your background with the snow is so lovely looks like Christmas. I am in Iowa and we have just had a few flurries but nothing that’s stuck. Not that I’m wishing for it very soon as I know people need to travel for the holidays. Hope the people were fair about reimbursing you For the clean out of that lovely home as that was a lot of work such a good job that you did and your family values are just wonderful.❤️

[@N_for_Nellie]

The tv channel would not treat the house and its owners with the respect and dignity that you do. That's why I like your videos. I'm glad you get to keep your own creative control. 🇦🇺

[@rmk6693]

Some of my favorite, most successful you-tubers have been offered shows and turned them down due to the inability to have freedom and do what you want! Now, what they are doing is selling products related to what they do - that is so valuable to a company!

Thanks for the content, beautiful house... you guys are good people and that is refreshing.

A lot of work that big house! Did a good thankful job. Really liked seeing your “group” family/friends.Hornets were scary. Thanks for the entertainment. Always watching from Oregon. Char

[@mavahuth5044]

I'm not sure they will do well. Part of the reason we like your clear outs is your personality 😊

[@19raebanks55]

It’s nearly sunny Summer here in New Zealand. We don’t have snow in most parts here even in Winter. So lovely to see the snow but the temps are way cold! I have had a back injury which has left me having to rest for the last 4 weeks and have the opp to catch up on all your series. Loved The Potters House and the Musicians house and ploughing my way through YOUR house build now. I love the honest transparent manner in which you both conduct all aspects of the business and the wholesome nature overall. Just refreshing!! The ever thoughtfulness and consideration of others with the empathetic narrative in helping others. And amazing how open you are about costs and what the profit makes for you. Plus the great parents you are which in turn have returned a great investment in having wonderful children. ( They are all beautiful ) Sending Love and blessings from Auckland, New Zealand. 🍃💕🍃

[@kirschbaum1962]

Have enjoyed your videos for some time! You have a wonderful channel and amazing family. Thanks for sharing with us. This was an interesting series. Not as many treasures found and now that I know more about the situation I understand why. Looking forward to the next series and hope you find another great one!

[@karenmilligan5597]

Enjoyed the clean out series. Everyone did a great job.

[@richwhitaker1506]

Hey guys. Thanks for the update on that lovely Tudor revival house clear out. Seems its went pretty well for all involved. Glad you kept the tiller and snowblower for your own estate upkeep. Sounds like Melissa found some useful things too. Have a great visit over the Thanksgiving weekend, Alexander.Maybe some family time to treasure and some treasures to buy/sell.😎

[@katielin2379]

That home would be stunning with a modern update to the kitchen and baths. The ceiling angles were stunning.

[@nancycornett9949]

Thank you Alex and Melissa!

[@derekwalters4980]

I've watched this latest house clean out, and it seemed to be the usual incredible amount of hard labor, and I know we only see a fraction of it all. If you break the amount of work, and the hours you spent working there, is this one actually going to profitable. Even if it is profitable, you have to look back and ask yourself, was it worth it all??? So much of the work, the lifting and bending, especially if you have a bad back, just seems exhausting. I do love watching the content, seeing what you come across, this one just didn't seem as profitable from the looks of it as you were working at the house. Thank goodness for good friends and your wonderful family, they're so much help and by this time, I expect they're getting pretty darned good at accessing the whole work/value conversation. I really like that Hans and his wife are always thinking of others they know who might be able to use some of the things that might not be worth re-selling, or hauling to the auction, but they're still useful. Why toss things into landfills when they can still be of use to someone. You're all very good at being mindful of this.

[@lisaloy2011]

Prettiest house you've cleared out. I kept thinking to bad they don't fix up and flip homes

[@nancyharris7517]

It was so enjoyable to watch you and your family and friends working on that beautiful place. Makes me want to move to Canada. We don't have lush landscaping like that here in Florida.

[@suzannecuerrier279]

We bought a run down house and renovated it into two dwellings. We rented it out afterwards but the tenants wrecked our hard work. We fixed it again and sold it. Lesson learned, in Canada, tenants have more rights than landlords. So, if you do this, I recommend you flip the house after renovation rather than renting it out.

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

Been there, done that. Check out the third to the last video in the Potter's House Playlist: "Potters house live walk through, what does it look like two years later?"

[@rachelh5211]

Alex, that's too bad about the HGTV producers taking your ideas and using them to do a show with someone else. Can't say I'm surprised, though. My brother-in-law is a general contractor and was in negotiations to do a show as a contractor who builds homes in challenging locations. Places like mountainsides, remote locations, etc. He even did a "sizzle reel" for them. But then his contact within the network ended being replaced by someone else who never moved forward with the idea. Probably was for the better, both in his case and in yours. Personally, I dislike when shows plant fake "discoveries" or throw in some "unforseen challenges" to spice things up. I much prefer knowing that what you post on your channel is real life, not something fabricated for views.

[@donzinette]

Great recap - loved this series - thanks you guys.

The area is amazing, but the music venue is a must see. No need to go to a show to appreciate it but if you could hit a show sometime that would be epic!

Your experience with the tv production company is pretty standard. They sign agreements with so many people, not just interesting KZbin channel creators, then do nothing with them or, like in your case, introduce other conditions that don't work for the creators. Thankfully, you don't care, nor should anyone working with these companies. **Didn't the Mr. Beast show blow up in their faces? I read about lawsuits against the production company for mistreatment of show participants.

I think the Mr beast show had a lot of issues yes
