MEGA VIDEO of My Whole-House Renovation!

[@PinBiohazard]

I know its been a tough time for you but this transformation is absolutely amazing, I hope 2025 will be a much better year for you ❤

[@j.t.1215]

He did A LOT though in 2024; true a lot happened but good stuff too. Love the house. It's SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kileanazad5971]

Been a long road here. Between Emilie’s health, burnout and divorce. And now you have a place that is completely your own! Congratulations.

[@gwenellison5386]

I'm still at the beginning of the video and have been there as you've gone through this huge change, but I wanted to once again say how much I respect the way you talk about Emily. You are a good decent man, Mack.

[@Alwaysherethere]

@@gwenellison5386 He sure is!

[@CindyP21]

Thank God you have Jason. Such a good son!

[@starseedindigo2043]

Was just in the middle of stone cold stunning my elderly nan and my phone got a notification that johnny mack posted a vid, hense you saved an elderly woman and gave me something even more productive to do with my friday. Thoroughly enjoyed this extra long vid, reminded me of just how much work you did with your new pad. Love how you just casually made a piece of art on the accent wall. Vid is almost over so i best get back to spin kicking my nan right in the shoulder blades. For anyone wondering no i dont condone elderly abuse lets just keep this between us😮

[@tygerstripes3752]

ACTUAL COLOR is cracking me up every time. I don't think I'll be able to see those two words together without thinking of this Channel from now on.

[@gailsinclair9937]

Yes, I also will probably use the phrase "Actual Colour" in future, I am sure! Just like Scrap and Pallet Man and his "ubiquitous wire shelving". I can't look at closet wire shelving anywhere without UBIQUITOUS being added in my thoughts!

[@lisabowman5848]

Jason, his wife and your grandchild are so lucky to have such a caring Pop-pop. Peace and blessings always 🕊️

[@h9ooo]

When i hear your voice I immidiately get up and start cleaning

[@Chrissyhappy]

Same with me! 😂 it’s like the Pavlov effect with me!😅

[@hollyjobitner3285]

I feel the same way. I immediately have a smile on my face. Today is my finish tote bags for the food bank and scrubbies for the hospital charity. Leftovers for supper. Ta Da. Easy day! 🖖💙

[@Jenneo7435]

He inspires me so much. I start cleaning after watching his shows, and I mean Midwest Magic cleaning. He's controlling our minds! 😅😳

[@katrineleber7238]

When I hear his voice, I think about cleaning. lol.

[@starseedindigo2043]

So true I do the exact same,then when it's all done I feel depressed that there's nothing else to clean.

[@normareed9007]

Hey Mack, we're here for the long haul: we all have low times in our lives, thank you to you for being brave enough to open up and share your struggles with us; and even whilst doing that, teach us how to do better - either for ourselves, or on how to support others. Afterall we cant support others when we ourselves are a mess. I'm so glad to see and know that you're doing better. Glad too that you spin kicked that moose right through the window, and sent him on his way. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@DebraZ]

Congratulations on your new grand baby! Blessings

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Quite the project, especially seeing it all at once. Hat off to you. What a bright, refreshed house now. You've had quite a year but am happy how things are going, like your grandchild.❤❤❤

[@maryannanderson2213]

I love how you said to decorate your house in a way that brings YOU joy with no thought to resale value or what other people will think of it. Many years ago I worked for a hospital in Nashville and my department was being moved to a building that USED to be patient rooms and one perk we had was that all the rooms needed to be painted and we were allowed to paint our office any color we wanted. Everyone in my department picked white or beige or some neutral color for their offices and I chose a sort of peach color for my office just because I liked the color. I received a bit of criticism from others in my department because it was a "strange" color, but I persevered and insisted that is the color I LIKED and that is the color I got. The interesting thing is that after all the painting was done and I had my strange peach colored office and others had their neutral white or beige office, it was MY OFFICE people congregated in because they liked the VIBE in my office better. Go figure!

[@little-nikki7837]

You have such a great and supportive son...and family. You are blessed and we are blessed to have found your channel ❤❤❤

[@debcherry4342]

Look forward to all your videos. you make me laugh out loud.

[@AzaleaBee]

yeah.. laughing out loud while listening can be hazardous. Be extra careful on ladders or precariously balancing to get the corner crevice of the top of the frig... how do I know? I know.

[@AZHITW]

Your neatfreakishness makes my heart soar. 🥰

[@karenmanning5915]

I love the sound of your feet moving around! Even though I have watched every video of your new home, I am still going to watch this one all the way through...and nobody can stop me! lol ; )

[@LaurieC0812]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this 4 hour video!!! I have something to look forward to do this weekend ❤

[@anndaily9872]

You are amazing, I appreciate the humor and your kindness,son. As I watched this one I laughed at your shopping bag storage drawer. How about you make me happy and store those in the bottoms of your little trash cans. They are always waiting their turn .😉 carry on and be kind to the Moose, all of them .

[@gwendolynrobinson3900]

I need to clean nearly the whole house before going on vacation so my cats can wipe their dingleberries off on a CLEAN house, so this is going to do a great job keeping me company (: I was watching an organizing video of yours earlier but this longer video will definitely help a lot

[@abr369]

I'm happy for you. And thanks for the color swatch - that's very different to what the camera shows. The real color is more subtle and restful. All the best for the future.

[@rachealsutton3916]

You've done an amazing job on this house. I've really enjoyed watching it change over time and the colours are great! Well done!❤

[@lelaine3773]

Congratulations on your next chapter, and great work on the house! I enjoyed seeing Jason in beast mode helping his dad!

[@triciag3311]

I admire how you are able to be friends with both of your ex-wives. That says a lot about all of you as people! I love what you've done to the house. It is a really great house, and I can't wait to see what changes you make to it in the future.

[@carladavis8650]

I'm enjoying watching you fix up your place as much as watching you clean. You have an awesome voice and a unique humor that I enjoy so much. Take care of yourself ...

[@sistersrus2]

I love teal! You have created a very inviting home. And them’s some fancy jeans !

[@lisajean228]

Thinking the same! Very fancy…😅

[@silvrfox2uBooboo]

I appreciated this video because towards the end, I learned the trick to hanging those draperies with the knobs on the end of the rod-thingy......Oh phooey, ya know what i mean, Moose! ANYway........thanks! Once you're tweaked out with where you want stuff, u gonna be awlrite! Did I ever tell you i moved 29 times in 49 years? If i did, sorry, I'm old. Yep, a whole bunch of kids, many many labeled boxes (one time it was 96 boxes + furniture) and I was so organized, I had the house up and running in 3 days (kids had school, husband had to git to work and life needed to roll) Of course, NOW I'm in damage control, trying to keep the vultures away, but ahhh....fond memories of the moves...... Like Simon and Garfunkel once sang "Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you....." OH!......and this word to Jason: "You ARE a good son, and you will definitely be a great dad! Take LOADS of pictures of Baby Girl EVERY DAY because these days will fly by SO fast, it will spin faster than the spin your dad does!" Moose will fly everywhere, it will be a MOOSENADO!.......(i got the visual in my brain now for the rest of the day!)

[@sherrymclennan5080]

What a beautiful transformation you done. Welcome home. 🇨🇦😎

[@AliciaBakerLeashy]

Congrats on a beautiful beginnings of a new life and a start to a very beautiful home. Congrats on being a grandfather!!! 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🖤🩶🤍🩵🖤🤍🩶🩵🥰🥳✌🏻🙏🏻💟✝️💜🎄

[@jagodaszubert2404]

Agreed with paternity leave. New dads and experienced dads need time with their families. It should be the norm. Good for you for providing this to your son. Congratulations Jason and loved ones!😊

[@megkidd7326]

Mack, your home looks amazing, I can hardly wait to see what you do with it next! 🤗💜 Great video

[@kathyrnhellbusch227]

Love the changes you made! Can't wait to see how it looks when the new floors are in. Awesome job!!!

[@lelfah]

Brilliant timing, this is just the motivation I need to clean my flat, can't wait to see the end result, congrats to you Sir 🎉

[@EllieBlanc]

Everything looks so amazing!! 🤩 also a fan of that color teal!! Also, anyone else watch this from start to finish and now it’s 4:24 am and you find yourself unable to sleep now and want to clean or paint your house??? Just me??? Cool 😎

[@sandragoad8547]

Great overview of your reno/remodel of the new house. I've been a subscriber for a few years and wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos and commentary. My grandson is a low function autistic/ADHD individual. His intellectual delay is pretty severe but I am optimistic he will find his click (seems to be drama reenactment at this point lol). Watching you and how you deal with the issues and your empathy for others eases my soul. Thank you!

[@nataliecavalli9239]

I love your fur baby so much ❤️🐾🙏 Thanks for such a great video 🥰

[@evamargrethemilverts2463]

Mack, congratulations 😘🤗🤝👏👶🍼 You are a now a grandfather ☺☺☺

[@kgcat]

I have bad ADHD and we are both autistic, and i have recently been on a break in my relationship because we have to teach ourselves all these things as adults. I still see him and everything but this not living together anymore has been both beneficial and something I have to cope with. I've been trying very very hard to put in the work and your channel has been helping a lot with cleaning and feeling like there's hope. I'm 25, I want so badly to reign this all in before it gets out of hand. All that to say i seriously appreciate your channel and the people who are able to donate to you. I also want to add that we adhd have something called rejection sensitivity dysphoria, people don't even want to say all that let alone empathize with it. It can be masked and coped with and everything but we will not always say when we feel that way because 'women emotional, hysterical women omg they talk too much omg' that gets so ingrained in us that we don't even want to say anything at all, we don't want to be a bother. Then people are like say more! well pick one T_T and im not the type to care what people think logically, it just causes that physical anxiety whether i agree with it or not, I cant out-logic it. it's like trying to out-logic your tooth hurting and you go to the dentist and it needs to be pulled. except i cant pull a tooth of anxiety out of my brain. And people actually undertstand the toothache. The autism is highly comormid with adhd and a combination of all that plus feeling like not an adult, not etc etc maks it even harder. Therapy can feel pointless because, well I learned all of this myself. Anorexics have the same problem (also overlaps a lot) you go to therapy and this lady who was in college and had kids and a job at my age, never felt the need for substances etc, is trying to explain textbook things to me. Some of them bring up religion, which i've had a doctor do to me, very offputting. She said something about the devil and god loves me i cant remember. I've wholeheartedly believed that enough to know it's not a cure. it's coping to believe that it is. i shouldnt write a novel but it's like when teachers say ignore your bully while you have bruises and tears running down your face. I mean that about all of it not just the religion part

[@marlapowers5368]

Thank you for sharing your transition on the home. It looks absolutely amazing. Great job. Can't wait to see the new floors. Good bless you.🙏

[@deezildee4556]

Huge Fan from Adelaide in South Australia 🦘🌏🇦🇺🪃 Absolutely adore your channel & the journey you're on. Appreciate You So Much ❤🙏

[@homeofhouseplants8340]

A fellow Adelaidean here too and agree

[@amandajames7065]

You should be really really proud of your self you did your whole entire house by yourself with a little bit of help of your son that is amazing work I love color teal amazing job

[@ChristynO]

Amen! Selfcare is where it's at. You're no good to anybody if you're not good to yourself!

[@milliegateley8862]

Believe me when I say that although life threw you a curve ball, you are a lucky man to have your son by your side. Kids are an amazing blessing. I think you❤❤ know what I mean. ❤❤❤❤God bless you for all you do.

[@venusdarlene]

Burnout is no joke. I may not know what autistic burnout is like, but I experience ADHD burnout, and if that's bad... I can't imagine how overwhelming your experience has been :( but what I can relate to is the satisfaction of doing something this huge and rewarding for yourself despite being in such a funk. The house looks great and really reflects your personality beautifully. I hope you get lots of rest and time to decompress for the holidays

[@jackieo2488]

Oh yay!!! A full movie transformation of your home!! 🎉 This made me so happy and gave me motivation to do some work in my own home. Thank you for this gem 💎

[@juliequinlan6564]

I’ve actually watched all of these as separate videos but it’s good to revisit them all! Well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙

[@alfieeatssnails]

I love your resilience x

[@AzaleaBee]

Your videos have been helping me A LOT to clean and stay motivated to declutter. I first watch a section of your video, with a cup of morning coffee .. and then "rewind" and listen while cleaning. Break time? When I've come to a point of new video. Coffee or water break.. rinse. repeat. All the best to you.

[@EvaMorrison-y3m]

Hi Mack , honestly I’ve had upmost admiration for you and your videos but this latest part of your life changes and your new home and start is exactly how it should be done / no petty nonsense with your x no grabbing money and no BS your a true gentleman there’s not many about so congratulations.👏👏👏👏👍🏼😘 Eva from Scotland

Hello from New Mexico. I don't often comment, but I just want you to know how much I enjoy your channel. Your talent and personality are amazing. I watch every single episode. Best wishes for the coming New Year.

[@deepj3908]

Love watching y'all in everything you encounter. Saying that, I must say when you were working on the kitchen and you had Jason do whatever with the container of cheese balls, then comes back and it was empty, my mouth dropped and I just KNEW him and your moose went and smacked all those little suckers down in a New York minute!!! Can't fool us all dude!! 😅 Really diggin' the transformation of your new place. Thanks for giving us all a peek at your digs. 👍😉

[@philippacarlin6542]

Considering I have watched each episode as it came out, I cannot believe that I've just watched this entire thing in one sitting. Whew. PS just as good as the first time around. 😊

[@MamaRoach0811]

Thanks for entertaining me while I work! Its absolutely amazing to see the transformation from when you moved in to your last video. Impressive! I hope you and your family are doing well, have a great Christmas! ❤

[@BubblesintheDesert]

ACTUAL COLOR 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sending love and hugs to the Midwest Magic Team.

[@wendelinharrison9571]

This was great! Though I followed your progress weekly, seeing it all together just showed just how much you did! And now it’s just beautiful!!❤

[@lisabowman5848]

❤ U so mucho Mack. U give so much to others... I hope U find the peace you are looking for 🕊️.

[@gailsinclair9937]

I admire your respectful manner in mentioning your ex-wives. It is a testament to your character that you remain on good terms with them in this way. 💕

What an inspiration you are! Heaven help you when all the woman find out your single again...WOW...the stampede that will happen! Stay safe and healthy and always happy young man and make the rest of this year and 2025 as wonderful as you are.

[@afisanaa]

Almost 4 hours of the entire process. Wow! Thank you. Watching at 1.75X

[@RichardBonin-w9h]

Bravo MACK. I watched all the episodes as they came out and tonight sat through more than three hours of the compilation. Loved it even more. You are so multi talented and funny and kind and such a great conversationalist. I’ve learned lots. Especially that I’m pretty sure I’m OCD and A D D too. Which I wish I’d realized I knew sooner than at 82!,,,,😅

[@Lynore_Marie]

Hi Mack - 👋🏻 I’m a newish member. I love your channel. Your cleaning, and NOW remodeling, blows me away. Your fun nature has me lol 😂…. but it’s your honesty, generosity, and empathy that really make you shine.🌟 All the hard work you put into your house paid off, because it looks awesome ! 🤩 Lastly… *LET’S HELP MACK GET THAT GOLDEN PLAQUE* !!

[@louisecolombi6630]

Wow we’re spoiled for Christmas, a 4 hour video! Thank you! Great stuff! 🎊 🎉

[@jasondrummond9451]

My first apartment : I had a box of dishes, a borrowed card table, a borrowed chair, a sleeping bag, a pillow and a couple of boxes of textbooks. And my clothes. I slept on the floor foi a year.

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

Your video’s are really never dull, boring or stupid. Always interesting. I am renovating a cottage at this moment and I know how much you need when you starting from scratch. Litterly everything had to be painted and replaced. Lots of money and work. Bye bye greets from the Netherlands

[@namaste2706]

It was fun seeing these transformation linked! You have so completely transformed this house into a really lovely home! I am so glad that you can enjoy the holidays in a place that makes you smile. FYI the hall artwork is amazing! Merry Christmas 🎄

It looks like your sub floors were good. I'm female but do know a bit about this stuff. Everything looks so nice and cozy! Enjoy!

[@sonjamccart1269]

I love the "teal" thumbnail - yes that is a great color, and muted enough to be calming. I probably have a medieval dress in that color in my SCA stuff....

[@helenablignaut662]

Thank you! I loved this so much. I just zombied out and watched the whole thing in one go 🎉

[@desperationm]

I ❤ your channel ! Congratulations on your new grandchild 🎉 and I wish you the absolute best ❤

[@donnadaman6864]

You have an incredible sense of color, style, and dimension. Your house is incredible. So balanced and inviting. I am impressed……

[@ertyuuuh]

I must say I looove "actual color" thing, scratches some itch very good

[@ertyuuuh]

I have watched the whole material. Okay, so as home decor girlie from Europe I would critique shortly this interior design: it is bachleresque and American in the worst kind of ways. HOWEVER, I feel the urge to list out things that I REALLY LIKE: - curtain sheerness-color gradient thing - clever - shower curtain print - funny - "EAT" caption above toilet - placement is a key - the all teal door with hanger - cutesy scandi feel - moose - of course, how one could not like it - faith no more posters - obviously - the "actual color" disclaimer - diner style table set - your wave mural look much better than I would anticipate - switch & outlet covers - I love that you explain your decisions very meticulously - it makes me hate less your decor choices - you are very detail oriented and do your work with care and dedication, and thoughtfully, and neatly I really appreciate what you do. Keep up the good work. May your flesh avatar hurt less.

[@leftfinned]

Here for that thumbnail. Oh and the moose’s.

[@reginawhitlock4227]

You motivate me like no other😊

[@dianebinns9905]

WOW! You said your back hurting. No wonder. If I did that much work. HAHA Even my finger nails would hurt. That was a lot. But really beautiful! You are showing people. No matter what your going threw. "Just do it" Make yourself happy! Love your video's

[@melissawiebe7822]

Love it! My hubby loves your intros and suggested that you make a compilation of all your "my name is _________ " because they are so creative and funny!❤❤❤

[@MidwestMagicCleaning]

I have one as my channel trailer

[@reginapopihn9853]

perhaps there is someone here who can make a Rap of those intros

[@sethjames4738]

Thanks for the transparency and always your humor! I love it. ( I'm not sure what that implies for me.) Best wishes in your your new home! I appreciate your videos and explanations on the even the most basic things. Because I apparently need that. Later!

[@maryannanderson2213]

I've been watching the $1 house show for several weeks and I love that channel. She has the sweetest disposition, and she seems to be willing to tackle any job that comes along. I LOVE her show and I can't wait to see her house when she gets through with all the renovations. Anyone who likes renovation type shows might also like "At Home with Willow Berry". It is a couple who bought a dilapidated double wide mobile home in the foothills of the Appalachia Mountains in Virginia, and they are renovating it a room at a time making it look like a regular house. She also does a lot of cooking, but she shows a lot of renovating that she and her husband do to their mobile home. If anyone checks out that channel, I would love to know what you think of it.

[@l.mcallan7440]

That Jason is superhuman! Great improvements in your house! Mack,have you ever watched Curiosity Inc.? Especially the Potters House episodes.

[@angelasista3542]

AGAIN, IT'S THE ARTWORK IN THE HALLWAY. BOMB!!!

[@innovativesolutions2428]

Your energy is contagious. What you have accomplished in what, 8 weeks?????, is 10,000 times impressive than HGTV '100 Day Homes'. I LOVE to clean, it's my boredom and aloneness in sorting/organizing. I'm trying to find a way to ease my down feeling and anxiety, and I thank God for your videos, because I don't drink or use substances.

[@elizabethsalvatore1633]

Absolutely love this /your channel. Great advice, funny, and inspirational. Thanks 😊

[@YamzAnimatics]

"IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS" "fair enough" - the WAY my held my head and quietly yelled "SHUT UUPPPP MACK" in my living room and couldn't stop myself from laughing for 5 minutes. Thank you for the video food, I'll be cleaning my apartment with you.👊👊💜

[@glendabrekke5475]

Thanks for this video. Wondered how it's all coming together. You sure have a decorative personality I love the colors you do in your place. I think with your back you need to install a jacuzzi tub to help

[@much2pretty57]

Hi Mack. I love watching your videos and explanations.. I wish you were in NY. My husband has the same condition as Bruce Willis. My Jim also has Lewy Body dementia. This year, he's fallen off a ladder, breaking his back and a rib. Now, the poor guy has pneumonia . I swear we can't win. We've only been in our mobile home for 9 months. We bought it for $500.00 We've put $13k into it. And it still isn't done. I could use some help. I need to finish the floors. Then our van died! I just sat and cried. We can't win. Thanks for all your videos. You should be a teacher of cleaning and renovation.

[@much2pretty57]

I am sorry you and your wife parted ways. We've been married for 36 years. Ain't been easy... But, we're sticking it out until Jim passes.

[@1JewelOfTheNile]

[@stuartpierce121]

Fun watching transformation! Thanks Jennifer 😊

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

My friend, you've done a great job. You've taken a dog house and turned it into a stylish and comfortable home. Well Done. I don't know you well enough to give you advise, but I'm going to anyway. Please don't hesitate to ignore if you want to. However, depending on what you do for fun in nature, grab some of those elements and incorporate them into the fabulous design you've got totally going on. Here's an example, if you're the sort, and live near a beach (which I don't know, but if you do) and if you enjoy long walks and long talks on that beach, then start looking out for a piece of driftwood that you could suspend from screw eyes and wire in the center of those framed openings on that half wall in the kitchen, or dining, area. If you're more the sort who likes gothic thingummies, suspend a sword. If you're the the sort who likes to collect rare wine bottles,then use mounting tape to makes an interesting display. However, above all, the most *spectacular feature of your house is that wall-mounted fireplace* . Please do look at examples of how people have used copper, etc., to make that the hit-the-ball-out-of-the-ballpark feature of their house. (The French do that a lot.)
