Part 22. Potters House, open house day! Spring is here let’s let the people in!

I'm adding my appreciation for Josh's painting of Mary, what a sweet, beautiful tribute to an amazing woman. Thanks to Alex and the whole team for giving Mary to the world!

Did anybody else get teary-eyed at the end of today's video. This has been a very interesting and long journey and I appreciate Alex and his family inviting us to come along. Love the painting too Josh.

[@blackhawksurplus]

That painting of Mary is just brilliant, Josh is extremely talented.

[@quietone748]

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.

[@newtoublue1451]

Yeah well-that's the computer age for u-cyber connections. One sided but interesting.

[@lc4780]

quietone748 Have to agree with you. 1 simple click of a mouse and I was transported into sharing your journey of restoring the Potters House. I am sad it’s over now. But you did a great job and you had so much energy! Would like to know how you squared out after all the accounts are tallied up. Good luck for your future

[@blarenachickiepoo5593]

Very well said!

[@brigidbac1438]

I second your words. I have enjoyed these videos and the work done by Josh and Jakota.....They are artists......turn something ugly into those gorgeous pieces.

[@shelleyg1836]

I agree whole heartedly. never saw this channel before and somehow it showed up in my feed so I clicked it and what a journey I have taken along with everyone else. u are so right how all the ppl in the video became like family even though we had never met. sad it is over but what a fantastic job they all did on restoring this mess to a gorgeous home. wishing them all the best of luck.

[@laurabuckles7961]

It's so appropriate that you took an abandoned house in the dead of winter and turned it into a place for new life in the spring. Keep making things better wherever you go!

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 KZbin & other web site names. Thanks...a fan from California. Plus a HUGE fan of Curiosity Inc.

What an incredible, respectful, and compassionate take on such a project Alex. You also had wonderful people helping. I'm glad I've gotten to "know" Mary through this, what beautiful art she made, and so thankful to see your visit with her. It's sad that she was so close to seeing what you accomplished and how you cared for her home and her things. Well done.

[@lorelleblackwell8556]

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.

[@danatucker6390]

Love Josh's painting! All the love and thought that went into making that, using her powder pigments for that mask is so great! Way to go Josh!!! Love it :)

Looking forward to the general store 👍

[@lisalalita]

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.

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!

Part of me feels it's cool for that painting to be in the house, part of me think her children should have it. What an amazing piece of art, especially for us that have followed this series.

Josh is so incredibly talented! I hope his talent is widely appreciated.

The house looks amazing! This episode was bittersweet. Who's cutting onions? Heather, I so love the Potters house sign that you made! 💜 Josh, your painting is beautiful! ❤

I scanned over the comments, and it seems a bit redundant to say, but Josh’s painting of Mary stopped my heart! ......the picture of a world class artist done by another world class artist.

There's something very powerful about that painting, an artist paying tribute to another artist.....

I know this is old now but I felt as if I were there, learning a little about Mary's life and art, and getting to know all of you. Thank you very much for sharing this.

What a beautiful painting of Mary!! And to use her own powdered pigments... WOW!!
