      I have very textured ceilings. Some are that popcorn, and I don’t know what the other raised texture is called. It’s even worse than the popcorn ceiling for holding dust and tiny cobwebs. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning those before painting? I was even thinking about using a shop vac on a ladder with the brush attachment. I hate to think of the little white bits of popcorn all over everything in the room.

      I think I'd like to see a bit more storytelling around the couple, so we can learn a bit more about them and why this transformation is helping them overcome their difficulties, which could help others going through similar problems. But only if they want. That would include reaction shots, but it would be tasteful because it would be part of the story and not done as exploitative viewer bait.

    My wife worked for 40 yrs in beige offices. When we bought this house she asked if I would please get rid of all the beige in the house (and it was all beige!) and paint it in bright happy colors. YES! No two rooms have the same color scheme. Most people told me no one will want to buy your house with all those colors! Well fine! Until THEY are paying the mortgage the colors stay. When its theirs, they can come in and spray the whole thing beige or I guess gray since it is the new beige. So, well well done brother by honoring these folks with what THEY want!! I hope you get a million views on this video, too.

    I don't know how else to word this, but I'm glad of all the home renovators I've seen, that you are one that's autistic. The lack of loud music and lack of excessive noise, the understanding that the homeowner should pick their own colors, and the calm (and sometimes funny) narration makes for a perfect video for me to watch (as I am also autistic). Too many organization/crafty channels focus so much on "asmr" stuff that it's physically painful for me to watch. I cannot stand most creative content these days due to the asmr takeover.
    Basically I'm saying THANK YOU for making your videos friendly to ALL of your viewers. Been loving your channel ever since I found it.

Xmas stuff is always 50-75% off the last week of the year. I have to move stuff around and put things into storage to make space for the tree for the month but it's worth it.

    That is so true about utilizing you tube to learn how to fix things. My dish washer was not drying anymore and i did not have the money to replace it. I went on you tube and did all of the trouble shooting suggestions and found out that the pump was broken. Went on a video on how to replace it and found a appliance replacement parts store and fixed the dishwasher myself. The ladies at the parts store asked me how I figured how to do that. I told them I graduated from you tube university 😅. Anyway I love the colors in this house. Very cottage/ boho chic

    You, sir, are a miracle worker!!!
    The orange/peach paint in the living room is beautiful!! Its so bright and cheerful, Im sure that it will lift the homeowners spirit (and the fact that people care about her).
    The dark green paint in the bedroom makes it cosy. I bet she will sleep really well. And was that a velvet duvet?? Fancy!!
    Give Emily a hug for me. I'm so glad her doctor picked up on the hypercalcemia and y'all were able to get to the ER. I hope Emily is resting as much as possible until she can get surgery.
    And you, sir, need to take it easy. Dont make me use your government name. 🤨
    You cant help your homeowners or Emily if you are exhausted.

    Hi, I am the mom, from the movie Miracle Run. I’m a member.and my cleaning skills have vastly improved since watching your videos. I firmly believe organizing and cleaning your home is healthy and healing. Having autistic twins, Stephen and Phillip, I have always encouraged them to clean because it trains the brain, it will make anyone better, help reach goals and transform their life. BTW, I had my bathroom painted this bright orange, purposely: it’s a happy color.

I like the antique vibe and those are the colors I choose. I can state from experience having colors you like means you are happier each time you go in the room. That is a present that that affects you daily. May those colors make them happy and help daily with changing moods for the better.

Truly and utterly selfless and amazing. And of course sweet Jason is as well. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for helping these people in need.

    I remember back on the farm in the old days, like the ‘70s we lived in a very small community with just a general store, a farm equipment repair, a huge church and eventually a new school. We ordered paint and such from Sears or Eatons catalogues (yes I am that old). In the seventies the colours available from Sears were Orange, Lime Green, Purple and the like. So this is like way back in my childhood👍👍

My hemoglobin was 4. That is dangerously low. I had a blood transfusion. After a week we could finally go back home. Had to have 3 procedures and iron infusions. I am so glad she is doing better. It’s scary but luckily she and I have a great support system in our family. Sending positive energy to your family. Love the channel. And thanks for sharing Clean with Barbie!!!

    That is a stunning transformation -- the house looks so cheery and elegant now! I can imagine how wonderful it must feel for them to walk into a welcoming home that's truly theirs. I grew up in the same sort of situation, and as a lifelong renter, home repairs are indeed terrifying. I was in my 50s before I learned from Aurikaterina how to keep a bathroom clean. The sense of control over your life that you get from knowing how to take care of your space is a massive mood-lifter.
    And I've got to say it -- their cats are SO ADORABLE! I loved watching them "supervising" while you and Jason were painting trim and scraping walls. ❤
    Please give your wife a hug from all of us as well. I'm glad to hear that her problem is known and understood. How scary that must have been ...
