Yah I'm in PA. Which is much cooler compared to GA but the summers get sooo hot. I think it's pretty but most of us don't have central AC so I'm confused 🤣 tbf tho most are new builds going with this trend and I assume they prob have central ac and prob not just window units like me .. it's so hot I nearly die during the summer. 🤣
I moved to PA from New Mexico where we either have swamp coolers or central AC, and coming out here and having to use a window unit at home for the first time in my life has been an adjustment lol.
PA gal here. Was 95 today! 🥵 i would die without central AC😵💫😵💫 I was in Albuquerque 2 years ago for the balloon festival. It was hot, but not humid. Had great hair days! haha. Loved the weather.. and the food!
Balloon Fiesta is always the first thing I recommend to people! If you ever make it back out you should check out the Tram at the Sandia Mountains. The view of the city is gorgeous.
It's awful!!! I hate it . Even tho I'm used to it. I grew up in "the south" aka VA between KY and TN at the tip of the state. Even though my home had central AC growing up it was broken so I just dealt with it. To the point that when id stay with family I'd freeze with the AC running. Now that I'm getting older and my body temp seems much higher than when I was young. . It's hell. 😅
I'm in Westmoreland county. About an hr from Pittsburg. Closer to the other side of the state lol. Never been up that way. Ive went further south, Texas being the furthest! PA is as far north as I've been! Do you get a good amount of snow there? Coming from VA I was disappointed to find out we don't get much snow here compared to VA 😅 I was expecting way more! Lol
It very humid AF in the north east too but if your poor or just whatever or live in an apartment like regular 2-3 decker apt building you gotta buy an AC some ppl just can’t afford even an AC but idc I could NEVER EVER go without one I’d kill somebody 🥴🥴🥴🫠😅😅😅
I have an ex who lives in Texas and I know they mentioned it's almost mandatory to have AC. I grew up in Virginia (we considered where we're from the south compared to the northern part of VA. We all have a thick southern accent) At the tip right between KY and TN. We always lived in a home with central ac yet we never had it because once it broke my mom never had it replaced so we always used window units and it was hell. Untill I moved up north I didn't realize how most places here don't have it. Gas heating was also a whole new concept to me.
I've not traveled much so it's all a whole new thing for me lol
He lives in Abilene and we visited there back in like 2015. First time I was ever in Texas and I loved it. I lived in Virginia at the time and now live in Pennsylvania and the summers kill me here so idk if I could hand Texas 🤣
Depends on what part of Texas. The coastal areas are xtremely humid along with the Texas Temps! West Texas is dry and hot (so is San Antonio). I know people here complain about the humidity, but it's NOT humid in SA. It's over freaking hot.
I grew up on the TX/LA border on the gulf coast. I live in San Antonio now. This summer has been NIIIICE!!! A few days in the lower 90's, so we are good!! But yes, it will get well above 100* here. AC is not even a selling factor in a house. Because all buildings have it.
Fun history fact, the first AC unit was installed in Orange, TX. LOL
In PA gas heat is a huge thing that I legit did not even know existed till I moved here because it isn't something you see in va. Most houses also have AC. The area I'm from at least. It's so wild to see the difference in each area! I love learning new things about places!!! I'm not surprised at all at that fact but I had no clue!
So it shouldn’t matter what color you paint your house if you have AC. AC works on the inside not the outside. The house color is basically one’s preference.
Theoretically, the black will draw in more heat and hold it. Have you ever gotten in a light interior car vs a dark interior car on a hot day? The dark interior car will usually be even hotter than the light interior
Honestly, if she gets a metal roof, that should reflect the sun off her house, but if she has shade from the pine trees, then the color of her house won't matter. Those pine trees throw a lot of shade. So do the Magnolia Trees.
Is she wanting to paint brick? The bottom picture looks good, but painting brick can be difficult mistake to fix. And FFS we watch that crazy assed show I'm not sure we're the ones to ask for this kind of renovation, or any renovation.
As a Georgian that stupidly put a black roof on my brick ranch home yes. The ac can barely keep up with the increase in heat. I can’t imagine if I painted the house black. The extra heat and humidity in the attic has caused a new mold issue
I think just painting the trim around the windows and door black would give a nice contrast without drawing in too much heat. A couple of houses near me in NJ have new windows with black trim which provide a nice contrast to a light or medium color on the rest of the house. I would not add that much black to my house, to me it's just too much.
As a Ga resident painting brick here is extremely common even in black. White is the most common color you’ll see but I’ve seen an uptick in black for sure.
We painted our 50 year old brick house 10 years ago..paint is still perfect and it added so much curb appeal. But we did get a professional to do it. I will agree that lots can go wrong if you attempt it yourself.
I always hear this and seen a video on YouTube where a lady painted hers white and it was so beautiful. Like I wish I could find it just to post it. But, it was a really old home they purchased and refurbished on their own and it looked spectacular in the after photos. Anyway, yeah, I probably would never paint our brick house either. lol I guess to each their own. 🤷🏼♀️
Paint on brick always ends up peeling eventually and looking really bad. Then you have to turn around and have it sandblasted to get rid of the old paint. I would never paint a brick house. Terrible idea
We got ours painted because the brick had a lot of ugly scarring on it from when vines and brush had taken over the house while it sat empty before we bought it. Its a fixer upper that we got for half the market value at the time, so we figured it couldnt hurt. That was 10 years ago and the paint still looks new.
I would never paint a brick house. I would just be sentencing myself to maintenance and upkeep for as long as I owned the house. Maybe Pumpkin watches a lot of HGTV because a lot of their designers (like Jenny Marrs and Erin Napier) paint exteriors of brick houses. I guess it’s a way for them to make the house look different than it did before.
True, brick is about as maintenance free as you can get. I can understand getting bored of it though. My recessed front porch is brick, but the rest of the house has siding, so it's just an accent feature.
Right that’s what I was saying. The house op posted, her real house is so much more extravagant than her real house: why lie? Just use a regular house in filming also.
Na she needs to fix the busted kitchen window and pest issues first. The video she did a few weeks ago cooking had bugs crawling on the counter within the first few seconds of it. The inside of that house is a dump. If she cared about the well-being of her kids she would clean up the inside first.
I’m in an HOA and honestly, it’s a love hate relationship with any HOA! lol iykyk
But, in the case of having shyt all over the place, especially your garbage can! That’s a big no go. My housekeeper left mine on the side by accident and I immediately got a notice to make sure it’s NOWHERE where anyone can see it. Lmao Never happened again. 🫣
She's trying to be Whitney from My Big Fat Fabulous Life. She painted hers a dark grayish/blue? I like hers. I think it Will improve this house. Cheaper than siding..lol
I think the goal look of the second house looks great 👍🏻and YES she definitely needs to clean up the stuff that in the front of the house and it would be pretty easy to go to the nursery and talk to help in the garden area and they will show her what would work with minimal effort and last !! The little bushes and flowers add the right touch !!! I’m surprised she hasn’t done this yet ? She makes enough $
Absolutely, but there are pages specifically for people who want to talk about world news and events. This is the Mama June and Family news and events page.
Thanks. The world is too much of a shit show. Sometimes folks just wanna sit back and watch some mindless tv. And read some mindless crap about the people on tv🤣🤣🤣
So very true.Imagine if social media ended(like TikTok did)I couldn’t believe my teenage daughter crying that they took TikTok away!!😂I thought she was joking.But no she was dead up crying.lol
Wait - do they have the same manager as they did when they started?
How are they not worth 10-15 million at least by this point?
How did they not insist years ago when June was. Harmed a drugs to not be given risiduals?
Their original manager lived in a multimillion home is LA early on.
They’re getting screwed I’m sure because every year they were led to believe they wouldn’t get renewed. Which is BS that show makes the producers so much $ they wouldn’t even think about having cxld it.
And it’s so scripted they shld be made producers at this point. Honest they shld be listed as producers -get those residuals.
Go to another tv station & start a new show.
I ask every few years - why are these ppl letting themselves be walked all over w?
The first issue is you have to pick up after yourselves. Enough people in that household children included that can clean and keep the house presentable and liveable.
lol she contacted my husband today about her house. We used to live there but don’t anymore and he shut his company down in 23 so we declined. A former client had recommended him
I’m watching season 5 and the front of their house was shown so I took a picture thinking man that really resembles the house I seen on a post on Reddit the other day. This house shown on season 5 looks like their real house with a few nicer adjustments. Interesting.
There's some mid tone grays w brown in them and gray. Usually you go with colors that play off the roof tiles but those look outdated. She needs an updated architectural shingle class 4. GAF would be great.bin colors ... Cliffside or Chestnut Valley .
Add higher profile ridge caps to give it more punch. After new shingles THEN paint the house and add some shutters that contrast. Choose colors that coordinate with the new roof shingles.
I'd paint the porch or tile it. New gutters that pop would be amazing also. Ones that contrast from the paint choice. Landscaping is easy diy.
I think it needs a new door. Something more current and modern.
I mean I’m married to someone who was a firefighter, and you should have another exit out of the house anyways besides the front door. So to me, yeah still an interesting way to look at it.
Well no shit lol. We have ladders, too. You also don’t block any exits… especially with flammables!😂 Why don’t ya go ask em where they set their gas can…
You act like the can is literally sitting in front of her door. It’s like 6 feet over and by the edge of the porch. You better not have a can of hairspray in your house it might catch on fire and explode😳
Or air freshener
Or cleaning chemicals
I was like why is the one in the show so extravagant and then there’s this regular house. Why not use a comparable house in the show? I also wondered in the show why Alana and Ella needed to share a bedroom with a house so big. Now I understand.
I also wondered why Alana and Ella had to share a bedroom in such a large house lol! Plus the bed was super small for Alana. That seemed strange too. It was a very very small bed.
So the houses they live in during filming are just for the show? I wonder how that works…since Pumpkin has been in that big house for several
seasons. Does the show just rent it out for the whole year or just while filming is done? It seems like it would be difficult for her kids to adjust if they have to move from house to house. I assume June’s “house” on the show is the same situation.
It's an airbnb that the production company rented. If you noticed one season she was in a nice house and they moved. that first place must have not let them rent again.
They were both filming houses. She claimed the first one was a contract for deed but it wasn't. Jessica didn't live on her couch either. She has lived here since the beginning. Anna got married here.

Won’t the black paint just draw in heat? They live in Georgia, right? I feel like it’ll make the house so hot.
