Cleaning a house that's BURIED in trash (for FREE!) 

Hey Mack, I finally got the chance to name some foster kittens after your intro names. We have Cornbread Lovehog, orange boy, Scully Foxmulder, orange girl, and a very handsome ticked tabby named Dr. Ram Harddrive. When he gets out of the kitten room you'd better believe I walk around calling, "Dr. Harddrive? Paging Dr. Harddrive." It's dumb, but it makes me laugh and I hope it makes you laugh too

For the last 5 years, i thought I'd just become lazy. I've started projects to update my house and haven't finished one of them. I'm overwhelmed and at a stand still. Now I've given myself 2 things a day a must do. Whether it's a simple as taking the trash out or sorting laundry, i feel a sense of accomplishment. I'm grateful for you explaining how disorders work. ❤

Most of us watch because of your empathy, humor, and skills... You and filth there

"A thriving colony of moose druids." Brilliant.

Thank you so much for your help in removing the stigma of being autistic, ADD/ADHD, metal illness and depression. We all need to remember that we are all different and that’s okay. There’s nothing to be ashamed of to seek help or therapy ❤ thank you for you ❤

Jason’s little bundle is very blessed to have such a hardworking daddy and good housing 👶🏼. A tall smart granddad doesn’t hurt her chances in life either. 😊

Hej. I'm from Germany. I have a friend who has horder disorder I think. I help her cleaning her home at least 3 times. And it was never possible to just throw out thinks! Everytime it toke me 1 week to clean three bedrooms, 1 kitchen and living room. What you doing for this people is incredible. Thank you for helping this people.

Mac, you are so right about the haters! Most of us see that you're trying to help people that truly need it. And the Moose are just an added bonus!

I don’t know if you’ve heard this lately, but, THANK YOU! For doing what you do to help people! Congratulations to Jason and to you , babies are precious!

I think I might be watching too many cleaning videos... I had a very vivid dream last night that I helped a guy clean out his late mothers hoarded home. Her name was Susan and we had to check every box and bag because she stashed money in some of them, which the son really needed. The guy was crying a little when I kept refusing to take any of the money.

You are not the only one to get excited when the door can open/shut again...I did it with my closet door for the first time in 2 years! This channel has been really helpful in getting me to rethink how cleaning actually works (figuring out what you want to keep and shifting it around the room like a puzzle box until you've made places for it all) and I've ended up making lots of progress myself. Three trash bags just for my bedroom closet! Still more to do but I feel so hopeful now. Also made me realize how fragile our homes really are and that we are much closer to the edge than we think we are when it comes to holding on to stuff.

I grew up in a very clean home. My mom was neat and tidy. Her favorite saying was everything has a place, everything in their place. I’ve been assured my grandmother was the same way and my aunts were all very clean. Growing up, my younger sister was so messy. I shared a room with her. I kept my side tidy; my sister pushed everything under her bed. My mom would rake everything out and it would start again. She is now a hoarder. Ironically, she was diagnosed with ADHD in her late twenties. Thankfully her bf keeps her in check. He built her a garden and she puts a lot of time and effort into it. She can grow year round here in California (thankfully) and she has something to keep her busy, and not hoarding.

It seems like Jason is getting better and better at cleaning with every video.

It's really one of the great things to come out of social media that folks like yourself can get to a point financially where they can afford to provide free, much-needed services to the community. Who knew? Well done!

My daughter's room gets in such a similar state every month. Even though she lives with us. She has ADHD, autism, BPD, CFS, and depression, and even though I have to deep clean it every month back to clean, she does not maintain it. She gets overwhelmed when she tries to clean herself and asks me for help. I tried to clean daily or even weekly, but she is a stay-at-home and dwells in her room because of illness type, and she gets very stressed with me coming in and moving things. It's a vicious cycle. So now I have to let it get bad until she asks me for help, and each time, it's a full day of emptying trash, washing, food and dishes, and deep cleaning. We have tried many methods to get her to learn to upkeep. Until my daughter, I was one of those people who thought relatives were lazy (we have many issues in our family). As a kid, I was the one who would visit relatives to clean their homes (I am autistic, and I am like you, and cleaning is my hobby). I would ask my mum to accompany her to visit our relatives, and while she helped them with cooking or doing things in their main room, I would go pick the worst rooms and plow into them. I started doing it when I was about 12 and throughout my teens. I have cleaned some pretty bad places. Now I have a kid who I see struggles, and even though I still cannot relate to it (again, autism), I have way more compassion now as it's not how she was raised. Her brother and I have OCD, and we are meticulous about having neat spaces. I need control of organization and tidiness to feel calm, so her room is closed until she asks me to deal with it.

still recovering from my hoarding tendencies. having someone to help like you do can be life changing.

Understanding my mental health issue in relation to my home environment issue is so so helpful.

Moose druid sounds like the name of a heavy metal band that's been around for ages, gone their separate ways, and have now reunited again for a tour, and I kinda want tickets.

We have GOT to help vulnerable people better in this country, this problem is far too common and the people who need help will often never get it. If I was President I would expand disability benefits to home organizing and hire and train a bunch of people to clean homes like you do.

So surprised see your notification pop up so late, which means you're up late working. Thank you for all you and Jason do. ❤😊

This is long but as a person with "hospital strength" hoarding disorder and other issues I wanted to give some more feedback on more ways I'm finding that what you do and how you do it is immensely helpful to me and I'm sure to others, that includes people being so supportive in their comments, and something I say may turn out to be helpful to someone somehow. You and your family, your crew (and assorted moose) do a fantastic job in so many ways. Thank you for keeping the nastiness out of the comments section, that alone must be a job and a half, and it's a huge, huge help, because reading so many people being supportive of others is helping me to gradually rewire my self-criticism and take the edge off of shame and humiliation and that goes a long way towards continuing to tackle cleaning up and to do all the things I need to do to keep afloat. Another unecpected benefit I've noticed is as you, and Jason or whoever may be with you, consistently work through the stuff, you're modeling that cleaning up can be done without judgement or negativity, grumbling or even pressure or expectation. To try to explain, I'm certain for most of us struggling with these sorts of issues, trying to clean up has long been heavily associated with receiving everything from exasperation and disdain to shaming, insults, arguments, rage and abusiveness (I'm not at all saying it's not understandable that people get frustrated), and that we've then used that same energy and language on ourselves just trying to do what everyone else seems to do easily and the more we struggle, the harder we berate ourselves, and it makes for associating doing the work (or tidying/cleaning at all) with horrible, distressing, self-defeating feelings and no sense of relief or accomplishment for any action, which makes it even harder to do at the best of times, let alone when you're pushing a boulder up a steep hill because you're unwell. Watching you and the other awesome people who do what you do has been helping me begin to rewire that, which has been helping me keep going and get more and more done. That's another really important effect of your content, and I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling at least some benefits from those things alone. Yet another important benefit I've realised is seeing you repeatedly and systematically work all the way through from mountains of dreadful to tidy and clean has been shifting the perception in my mind that my mess is some utterly impossible, impenetrable monolithic thing. That's hard for me to explain, it feels like it's part of the clutter-blindess/blocking perception distortion sort of thing, part of the "there's no one piece of stuff, it's one big mountain so it's impossible to move any of it" thing. But also, somehow it truly feels like the mass of stuff has become like an immovable part of the house, you feel like you can no more affect it than you could just knock out half of the building including the foundations on your own with a teaspoon, and if you did, half the actual house would be gone as if it's fallen down a sinkhole, so then you'd have a torn in half house to deal with. The stuff IS the house, the house is the stuff. It's a weird messed up perception. You end up not being able to imagine an alternate future where the stuff could even be dented, let alone gone, it's just a permanence that you may not even realise you're seeing that way, it's just part of the wall of imposibility, some part of you fully believes it's just not possible even as you're trying to work on it, you're living a lie even trying. I'm now working into more difficult areas that haven't been touched in more than 5 (some more than 10) years, and that immovable monolith feeling is different, shifting a bit more, and not just because I'm getting some areas done, it's also because while I feel like I'm chipping away at one edge at the base of my mountain and can't see my way through, I CAN see where YOU'VE moved different mountains, over and over again, some even bigger and more difficult than mine, and it's like you're the light at the end of another tunnel that shows me there could be light at the end of mine, and I'm copying what you do in my limited way in the hope I can see light at the end of the tunnel I'm working on, that maybe MY mountain really can be moved like so many of yours have. I would not be able to see that just shoveling in the dark with my teaspoon when my mind wants to convince me what I'm doing is futile and there's no way out or through. I think I mixed all my metaphors but I hope that makes some sort of sense. You're an important part of my recovery, thank you for everything you do for everyone, you're changing lives in so many ways.

It's so eye-opening to see the sheer volume of stuff. If all the stuff I've bought, consumed, thrown away throughout my lifetime was all piled in front of me, it would be massive. Makes you think a lot about consumption and where all our crap goes once we are done with it.

A MMC video on a Wednesday night. What a treat!

Just recapping what you said about supporting Jason via PayPal to help with the repairs for his family, you’re so right. We do it and have done it because we love you guys. Weirdly enough saying that to someone we have never met. We are grateful, thankful and in awe of what you do to help others so isn’t it only fitting we give back to you? You’re a good person, we love you all. ❤

One lesson I gather from these videos is just the sheer amount of stuff we consume over the course of a few years time. Rarely do we ever see a pile of all of our stuff (trash and otherwise) from a long period of time all in one place. It makes me realize what a consumer culture we have and I find myself pausing before I buy stuff and thinking about whether I really need it.

Thanks for mentioning AP and his Clean The City channel. He needs lots of support. His message is so important! Also, thank you for doing what you do as well! Love your videos!

I've posted a few times, but I got adhd with autism, and I do have some bad issues, my house isn't an absolute disaster like many of the houses you feature, but it's bad enough(I got some hoarding issues, cleaning issues, stuff everywhere and unorganized, etc), and your vids have given me valuable guidance and motivation to organize and clean things. I still have an everest ahead of me, but I'm chipping away at it and I've become mindful of behaviors that are damaging and just make the situation worse. On top of that, your video cleanings are incredibly cathartic and keep proving to me that not only could my situation be infinitely worse than it is, I can actually get my place sorted if I just put effort into it and keep the right mindset.

Amazing transformation. And thank you for relocating the moose druids; they are a critical part of the enchanted ecosystem!

Thank you for helping others to understand how difficult mental illness is to see. It is even harder to live with. Feeling depressed, anxious, and scared all the time is a horrible, difficult way to live. No one chooses this. Some just handle it better. Others will see the struggle and reach out help.

I think I have just accepted that this is my favorite channel on RU-vid right now 😂😂😂

I have unwittingly inherited a hoarder with ptsd yikes. I am selling the house.I gave him a 6 week vacate notice before I knew about his ptsd..When that seemed impossible for him I extended his stay Now it's evident that no one in town wants to rent to him. So I found a way for him to stay at least 2 more months... Mostly I need the time to find people to help him. I live out-of-state He served as a paratrooper in Afghanistan. It is heartbreaking

Frolicking Moose Druids. Excellent band name! 😂

I got into bed and snuggled in…turned on RU-vid…and the best notification came up…you and a new video!! Thank you for being so empathetic and understanding to these people you are helping as well as making us as viewers laugh and learn. You are one of a kind for sure. ❤

You can tell what a close bond you & Jason have by watching you guys work together. The few moments that one of you is working and the other isn't, the one who's watching is antsy and can't NOT help. It's awesome to see the love between you two.

I love that your viewer community has been helping Jason and his family get their house fixed up! Another fantastic video!

I’m going to write a letter to Mr. Clean corporate to ask them to sponsor your channel for the awesome work you’re doing!

Yaay, an Early Bird Special! I'm still amazed that the floor isn't destroyed. I would have thought the sheer weight of the stuff would have collapsed the floor, but it's intact. How ironic that the hoard actually protected the floor from more severe damage. You guys got really lucky on that house. That ceiling in the bathroom looks evil, but that's for the professionals to deal with. We watch you for your empathy, compassion, and dad jokes. The haters can go stuff it.

Watching you both work to get these peoples lives back on track and help them begin again is wonderful. Thank you both. P.s. dancing with the Moose Druids on a full moon is good luck!

Two things: 1) The mythical Moose Druids (Moosis Magicalis Druidicas) are known to usually inhabit regions of the British and Irish Isles as well as northern Europe. However, through the use of The Fey Court slipgates, and the fact they are still Moose, they often end up incorrectly setting the coordinates, and so, as you've noticed, they will often end up under piles of clutter throughout the world. 2) On the subjects of pitchforks, now I would like to see an artist rendering of the famous painting, "American Gothic", with you and Jason in place of the original couple - even if it's only a face swap.

you mentioned the central ac vents being covered by trash, at which point i realized youre doing all this is in likely very uncomfortable heat. such hard work!

Modern Makeovers is one of the best furniture restoration channels on RU-vid, IMHO. Not only does he totally transform furniture that most people would send to the landfill, he does it with other materials he has salvaged from previous projects. And as you said, his humor and editing are 💯

Late night Midwest magic cleaning post! My house always looked similar to this growing up, lovely to see such an amazing and compassionate job 🙌❤

Great job, Mack and Jason. That must be so physically exhausting, shovelling trash interweaved with heavy clothing. I wouldn't know where to start, it looks so overwhelming and such a massive clean up. I'm glad the floors weren't ruined. The owner must feel a wonderful sense of relief and gratitude towards you and Jason for your work and help. Mental/physical illness can easily lead to this type of situation. I'm happy the family had your help. Great video!!❤

Thank you for respecting us where we are at and not judging us. This is by far the best channel that covers these topics.

I cant say thank you enough for what you and your family do to leave your mark on this world. Not only your heartfelt and empathetic free cleanings, but also helping to educate people on mental health disorders and their side effects. ❤

I so want to see the before and after pictures of Jason's house. I also completely understand if he's not okay with sharing.

It’s so great that your audience has been able to help Jason fix up his house like that! My husband and I just had a baby and we’re moving into a house that needs some work lol, so I know how thrilled he must be to have that taken care of. 😊 Congratulations on your new granddaughter!!

I hope I am not the only one who just listens for the comedy!

This owner does enjoy nice things because there are a lot of Longaberger baskets there. You are such a blessing to this family!

Word of the day: "Trash-alange"!😂😂😂

Wow what a challenging job. Thank you for what you do for these folks ❤

I'm glad how you never judge someone's circumstances and always understand. ADHD and hoarding are two serious mental health matters. One of my relatives has this issue and I'm a clean freak, but I know if I went through his house it would make things much worse because they would refill it even more aggressively. They are getting help and therapy. Thanks for being understanding. I love your channel. Edit: Al Bladez is awesome! Makes me want to start mowing random fields lol. He does great helping the elderly.

I really am SO amazed at the lack of bugs and rodents in this house for all the food containers that were in the space. At least the owner of this house had that reprieve in what I can imagine was a stressful situation. I grew up with an aunt with hoarding disorder, and I only wish this channel existed when I was younger so I could understand and pass on the empathy to my father and extended family. Congrats to Jason and the family's future new bundle of joy! I think your collective regular viewers will agree she's coming into a great support team.

👽👽👽Between my counselor i just started seeing, ya'll are helping me purge all my stuff and get moved finally

There is no. Cold dead black heart in you Mack and we’ve all learned about giving from you - glad Jason’s home is getting better ❤

My family has a streak of "over collecting" from "hobbies." It's a relief that my 80 year old mom sews and quilts everyday in her retirement. She's actually using the stuff (fabric, sewing machines, etc.) that accumulated and spent (too much) money on. She has 2 100 sq ft bedrooms cram packed to the ceiling with fabric, etc. But thankfully she uses it, she sews, and gives her work away. My 60s something sister also over collectsand has a mishmash of crafting aspirations - including selling antiques. It's concerning and frustrating because there is no discussion with her about how to organize, downsize, or even be realistic about what she has taken on. I'll be happy if, when she retires, she crafts and focuses on her hobby, like my mom has. My 60s something brother, on the other hand, has approached hoarder level - can't let go of anything, keeps old magazines and clippings or broken things he'll never fix (including old ocks and a car), has spent tens of thousands of dollars on model trains and planes. He lives with my mom so has packed the rest of her house with his hoard and will be evicted immediately after she passes away. It's a fine line and absolutely a miswiring that starts early and can easily start misfiring wildly and get out of control easily. It is NOT easy to talk to, handle, deal with, or help folks like this. Your approach and patience are important when dealing with folks like this. As great as it would feel to throw all their shit out, it won't work and would make it worse. If it's not effective, it's not worth doing. I'm just trying to echo MMC here, dealing with hoards/hoarding isn't simple or easy.

I’m so impressed with your dedication to helping people in need!!! This family has been courageous and I love how you are able to give them a chance to move forward on a better path!

You and your family are an inspiration! I’m sure this family cannot wait until they can move back in. Thanks for all you do!

Mr Moose, you and Chipmunk Jason did an awesome job in that house with no water! Back in 1988 I had to clean out my husbands closet in the bedroom he had as a child, my Mother -In- Law had been deceased for 10 yrs, she had stored boxes of quilt patterns in there, anyhoo... Glad I went through it because she had $57K stuffed in there! My father -In- Law let me keep it!! 😊 Great job, plan to go to the other channels you suggested Mr Spin Kicker and Chipmunk Jason!! 👍👍👍👍

I am amazed at the huge amount of large plastic drink cups, unbelievable.

I never knew how desperately I needed to hear that my ADHD and depression are not my fault. Bless you, Mack. ❤

I have had a lifetime of trauma, treatment resistant depression, CPTSD, and brain changes. This home could easily have been me. I'm fortunate to have an aide during the week because the simplest task is overwhelming. Your understanding attitude and the pile of Filth help me so much.

The reason you are my favorite cleaning channel is what you have to say. And the way you say it. Watching you from Poland 🇵🇱

I love that you praise other RU-vidrs. I will definitely look them up. Ty. 🇬🇧

It was the Moose Druids. They cast the pests out

I know you said this family has multiple members with multiple issues. Have they been able to see therapists to help them work things out so, if they do move back in, they can manage it better? This is fascinating to watch. I would be so overwhelmed if I saw this. I like your "three feet at a time" thing. Thank you for the Jason update. :)

I’m surprised the floors looked as good as they did being up under that trash. Y’all did an amazing job.

I just LOVE your attitude, Mack! You and Jason are so very understanding and compassionate. I feel great that I'm privy to the way you two work. As always, thanks to both you and J. All my best to you, Em, J and your whole family. 🫎♥️♥️

Wow so happy I'm up to see this now ❤😂

Hi Mack! The transformation on this house is unreal, I cannot imagine the energy it took to get through this entire house! I’m also shocked at the floors - so glad you explained why they looked so nice because otherwise I would have seriously doubted my own eyes 😅 as an autistic viewer of your channel I really enjoy how you keep repeating the same information (gives that nice consistency and knowing what to expect) while also adding in new jokes to keep it interesting. I’m learning so so much about moose, soon enough I’ll be a vet just from your training alone!

I’ve had a whole saga with my loo and funnily enough, it’s what got me started watching these cleaning videos. I started watching Aurikatariina and just hoped she’d clean a really bad loo at some point and share her wisdom. And eventually she did and it gave me something new to try. Her eyes probably would’ve lit up at the sight of mine 😅 Unfortunately, it wasn’t nearly as satisfying as I imagined it to be from watching her melt off dirt all the time. Whilst the foam oven cleaner does melt off grease and is really satisfying (big fan of that), my loo was another matter. I’d already tried bleach… whatever loo cleaner I picked up from the supermarket… vinegar… denture cleaning powder… Coca Cola… using a steel scourer… using a pumice stone… and her hack of oven cleaner… all of it had minimal effect, if any. But, I felt empowered with this new knowledge that the loo cleaner should be acid-based and checked the ingredients of all the loo cleaners at the supermarket… only two actually contained acid! So, got some of that and whilst it had more of an effect, it didn’t just melt off. I don’t think all acid-based loo cleaners are built equally 🤔 She’s also always using a cleaning scraper, but I didn’t have one, so I ended up using this knife that the tip had snapped off and managed to chip away at the limescale with that. That was satisfying when whole chunks chipped off. But, ultimately, what I ended up doing was leaving some acid-based cleaner in overnight and then chipping away in the morning… pretty much every day… for a whole month. I figured that I just had to keep chipping away at it gradually and building on the progress of the day before before any new limescale joined the party. And that as I chipped more off, it gave new surface material for the acid to start breaking down. I had to keep picking the chips of limescale out and binning them as well, as they wouldn’t flush and I didn’t want the acid to waste its time trying to dissolve what had already come off. But, it was satisfying to see how much I was binning each day. Before this I had pretty much lost hope that I’d ever get this limescale off by this point and had even asked my landlord if they could just replace the loo. I’d already flushed a load of money down the loo trying to clean it and it started to seem more sensible just to replace the loo. I’m pretty sure the original cause was ‘cause the loo kept blocking and whilst I don’t know why it does that, it seemed like it might be a fault in the design or something. I had to unblock the loo on like a weekly basis. However, I did discover that the limescale was equally caked on under the waterline and could feel it all around where the water would flush out and I suspect that has at least contributed, as the pipe is essentially narrower, creating a vicious cycle. But, I’ve now achieved a sparkling white loo for the first time in years and am equipped with the knowledge that I should be using an acid-based loo cleaner for maintenance, so I’m optimistic that it’ll stay white. I’ve also not experienced any incidences of blocking since completing my month of chipping away. I couldn’t chip all the hidden limescale off, but I did manage to chip some of it off and believe that’s helped give the flush more space to work with. And my hope is that continuing to use acid over time will gradually break that down further 🥳

I am so glad that you don't use a pitchfork. Because if you did you could easily poke a moose. Poor mooses! Have a great day!!

AP is awesome!! Clean the City! Thanks for supporting others trying to make this a world a better place!

I did a quick look to see if possibly the perfume kept the bugs away. It is possible, if it's lemon, or based on leaf, bark, root, or seeds. Verbena repels some bugs, so does cinnamon. Cinnamon can also repel mice, which I didn't know before. On the other hand, floral scents tend to attract bugs.

I really appreciate y'all for helping people that need ❤ Thank you.

Mac you have such a special son ,just love his calmness,such a nice nice guy,very rare to meet someone like that.😊

my cat got lost last week, and i feel it more and more as the days go by. this is a nice escape. i appreciate the videos and the community

You inspired me to reach out for help. I made the first phone call in weeks and spoke to someone who came out that day. Now I have hope. Thank you x

I for one 100% understand. I am 56, my Sister is 50. She is a Huge Hoarder, plus she is Challenged & has ADHD. We go over 2 times a year to clean & purge. It is Very hard on her, to see her "Stuff" get thrown out. So yes, I am so glad you do what you do & I am totally Empathetic. 🫶

Wow! You and Jason did an amazing job! Love your channel!

I've found that people that look for fault in others are offended the most by what they see in the MIRROR! I love that you see the causes not the results only.Great work

I love how much you care about moose and moose druids. Gotta let em frolic!

All i can think of is "ohhh i want to stack all the cups and see how tall the stack is going to be" Good job both of you! ❤

MOOSE DRUIDS. I lost it.

You two men did an awesome job on that house! I hope the owners are able to get the plumbing fixed and mold problem sorted so that it can be lived in again. Hope you are feeling better every day, Mack. Blessings

My problem is paperwork. I have piles and years worth of papers. They could be important one day, that is why I don’t shred them yet. I try to keep up with dirty clothes and dishes. I would like my house to be perfectly perfect but it is not.

I have Schizoaffective Disorder, GAD, depression and Chronic Fatigue syndrome. I’m lucky if my home stays clean for 2 days. I’m currently in an appeals process to get a PCA in my home which was denied by my insurance. Bless you for what you do!

I like watching your videos for several reasons, but the main one is that I feel like I am always about 2-4 weeks (or a bad case of the flu) from becoming in need of your services. Since I live in Michigan, I realize you probably won’t come rescue me! Watching your videos truly keeps me engaged in my own household upkeep. Plus, you are funny and I love Jason, even though he is definitely filth. Thanks for everything you do ❤ 0:03

There's a company of brothers, called Rudan Roofing. They go out once a week and replace gutters and roofs in their community for free. Terrific guys. Well worth a look and a shout out.

I appreciate your advocacy for mental health knowledge and people who are impacted.

Thank you for explaining. I appreciate you and your son. 🌺

Moose are notoriously hard to pick up with a shovel. The reason you may have not seen bugs or mice is possibly that neighborhood may not have a problem with pests. If the houses around are pest free, there’s less chance of them migrating there. For instance, roaches in a neighborhood do have a tendency to spread from house to house, especially if they’re disturbed by a huge clean out or remodeling or something.

I’m a longtime subscriber who has recently discovered that I have ADHD, and your channel has been so amazingly helpful. I took your advice while cleaning a storage room (consistent breaks, cleaning one spot at a time, etc.) and it’s the first time in a year I’ve been able to work in that room without feeling defeated. I also helped a coworker of mine identify her own autistic burnout and help hold space for her. Sending thanks for all you do, and proud of you for taking this season slowly and focusing on self care.

As a person who is very likely neurotypical, I find a lot of your tips on working through various challenges are nonetheless very useful. I moved into my house about a year ago, and inherited flower beds that _used_ to be well-kept. Fixing them up and making them my own seemed like an overwhelming project at first, but when I applied your thought process for breaking things into sections, suddenly the plan became a whole lot easier to manage. Thank you for that. For the most part, though, I'm just here for the story of the moose and moose druids. It's fascinating hearing about the hidden societies you uncover. Anthropologists and Moosotologists the world 'round must seek you out to study your research, and it is not lost on me that you share this research with your RU-vid audience first. 👊

I adore Modern Makovers! I love that he saves everything he possibly can from the furniture pieces that he ends up not using and reuses it for future projects whenever possible. Greatest up-cycling channel for sure.

Congratulations Jason on your new bundle of joy on the way.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I am writing this so you know that what you do is very beneficial to a viewer. I found your channel maybe a year ago now and started watching, then subscribing to learn how to do this. My Mom is what you call a shopping hoarder, on top of that she grew up at a time when you threw nothing away. Follow that with some emotional trauma and depression and her house rivals any of those you show on your channel where it is clean but so filled up you cannot move without knocking things over. Her health has gotten very poor and we had to move her in with us while she is recovering. Not knowing if she will ever be able to go back to her house, we recently started clearing out here house by using a lot of the things you do when you start a house. We work with a smaller piece to get started, getting that 2'x2' square, sorting things into like items, and setting smaller goals, and we are actually starting to see progress. We live almost 4 hours away so we are going there every other weekend to clean & clear the house to make it safe for her in the event she is able to return. If she is not the house will finally be in a condition that can be sold. Without your channel, and your explanations of how the behavior works, we would not be able to tackle this project. We guess it will take us almost a year to get through everything (2 story, 4 bedroom, with basement and garage all packed at least 6' high in every direction) and thank to you we are able to treat her things and this entire situation with kindness and compassion. THANK YOU for all you do to help these people, and indirectly, thank you for also helping us. PS. We have yet to find a moose, but since we are in Northern Minnesota, I guess anything is possible. My husband did say if we find one he will spin kick it on your behalf. ;)

You should make a shirt that says “Sarcasm is my love language” 🤣
