It's helping me pass down a family love of lost and found treasure. Thank you SO MUCH for taking us along on your explorations!

Some have their own family, but enjoy the journey. Some dont, and these adventures give them something to look forward to. Most just admire the Moxy it takes to ride that destiny train.

    The house is looking amazing. We too have really enjoyed this series. You have such a wonderful family and friends and community that worked on this project. Whoever buys this beautiful home and property will only feel the love of family, friends and neighbours, when they move in. Our small town was taken over by urban sprawl, up until a few years ago, when it was hard to recognize anyone that we knew, due to the influx of new residents from all over Canada. My community has been working hard to bring back that feeling of small town life, where everyone knew one another and where we all pitched in to help our neighbours.

    All good things must come to a end, and the Potter house series has been one of they good things sadly coming to a end.
    Watching these episodes has made Canada look very interesting to me, and I really want to visit there soon, Canadians seem like such friendly people. I understand why so many of us Scottish people emigrate there now, the small towns here are very welcoming and friendly as well, so it's seems like a home away from home.

    What an amazing job! I googled this place on street view after the last vid showing the address and from what you started with is... well... there are no words to describe what you accomplished here! You couldn't even see the house! Nothing but overgrown trees that depending on your angle could see something thru them but wasn't worth investigating. Incredible!

    The wooden bowls in the attic may be produced by a wood artist made from the burls from trees, if they are they are probably worth a little money. You can usually tell by them having more than one colour . Check to see if the artists name is on the bottom. A friend of my fathers used to make things from burls and they are a lot of work to make, turned on a lathe I seem to remember. I have one and I rub it with olive oil to bring out the warmth and beauty of the wood.

    Alex, how about painting the front door the same red color as the interior stairs? That would add local color (pun) and make the house easy to find.
    Also consider sticking decorative decals on the cleaned and polished sliding glass door leading out to the back deck. This will help prevent adults (and children!) walking full-tilt into the glass slider, thinking it was open. I've seen it happen and done it myself.

Forgive me I haven’t seen every video, so I dont recall seeing her before but when you first panned in on them I was half expecting you to say that was your wife and sister in law. They actually look alike at that angle. Two beautiful women in your life that love you to the moon and back!! Anyway had to drop a comment when you said that was your mommy with Melissa... now we know where you u get your good looks from, she’s a total knockout!

Now I will be a little bit sad to see it end, but I realize you are an antique store owner. Therefore, I will be ready for wherever you take us on your adventures!!!!! I will thoroughly enjoy watching you, Josh and Jakota fix up a general store!! Also, it will be good/healthy for you to stay in your home town and not have to travel so much.Tell Melissa I said Hello & I am keeping an eye out for her channel. Happy Easter, God Bless the family.
