30:40 - Nice 50's style fridge, but here in "my corner of the world" this model is expensive ~4.200 USD.

started the journey with you the first days you moved to these mountains , i've had problems with my job & career change , missed out , now am back , somehow , i was really really amazed of what you've achieved , and quit honestly u gave me a lesson regarding time & patience & consistency , Good job martin , really appreciate what you do , Thank you for this encouraging material

Somehow video #80 appeared again on my KZbin feed this morning. I’m all caught up on the videos but going back in time to watch this one again was still worthwhile. There are many things I have forgotten, so it’s nice to have them while I await the latest one tomorrow morning. 😊

So sorry about the loss of your chicken, it's sad to see them go from four to two. Amazing job on the stove and all the renovations so far, really good video updates thanks!

Magic🤣

19:00 protip for pulling cables. Take a rope and attach small piece of plastic bag to it which fits the pipe, insert the rope with the plastic bag from one end of the pipe and suck with a vacuum cleaner from the other end, the rope is instantly pulled through the pipe and then you use the rope to pull the cable through the pipe. Distance doesn't matter, can be used to pull the rope for hundreds of meters.

It is quite amazing what you have accomplished!

chissà se tutti quei bei bimbi hanno gli stessi problemi degli europei, (bianco o nero, gay o no gay, destra o sinistra, alto o basso, magro o ciccione,)🤩🤩🤩😍🥰😍

very pleasant hoping to build my life like this eventually thank you

Martijn, what a beautiful story. I bow to your incredible endurance, resilience, and this incredible calm outlook towards the world. Grateful for these videos for they will keep reminding me of something very important, something i haven't found words for, yet. 🙏💛

I have never seen someone with so many talents! Amazing!

It’s Friday night, and I’m really looking forward to sharing another slice of life with Martijn in the Italian mountains. Sunday’s respite.💙🌀🌎

Love your sewing skills

Wow! Beautiful! ❤ Love stone builds.

Incredible beauty! You have a magical place to call your home..enjoy watching your progress.

It might be a bit late in the day for this, but you can put a back bevel on thicker pieces that you want to scribe and then you're only dealing with a thin part on one edge. - Much less back and forth. Hope you're well!

Thank you for sharing this amazing journey. You have my husband's utmost respect (having cycled across the US). Because of this video, I have seen some amazing places that I probably won't get to see for myself. Thanks!

Do you, speak Italian?OMG that drive down the mountain looks amazing! You are so fortunate to have a life in such a beautiful place.

Living the best life Martijn!

I love the rustic look of this house? Where in Italy is it located? I live in the region Marche. The flower box looks match perfect with the house because you have used old, at least, rustic wood.

Do you ever worry about bears or other wild animals?

Martin you traded your sails for nails . You are from Zeb………….. you know!

I would have loved to help you with the construction. If you need an extra hand next time, let me know. No payment required

Et encore du bétonnage sur de la pierre. Quel gâchis ! ... Chaux, sable, argile, éventuellement pouzolane mais jamais de ciment inerte industriel sur de la pierre

23:05 Martijn does not have nails, he's got NAILS

Le montagne che circondano la valle di Angrogna a partire dal Col della Vaccera (est) sono il Monte Servin (1756 metri sul livello del mare) -Monte Cialmetta (1831) -Gran Truc (2366) -Punta Lausarot (2841) -Monte Ciauvia (2568) -Punta Freidour (2708) -Punta Cialancia (2711) -Punta Peigro (2711) - Monte Costigliole (2385) a chiudere la corona a ovest Punta Vergia (2327). La val Angrogna è orientata da Sud verso Nord non confina con la Francia ma con valli laterali della Val Chisone

Bye jimmy bye 👋

Loving this man’s work. So peaceful to watch. Have you thought about maybe a custom made cutting board that fits over your sink to give you a little more space to work in the kitchen? Keep up the great content mate. Truly inspirational 🙏🏼

De oude (linnen) kast buiten is niet een goed idee. Planken gaan kromstaan door vocht . Beter binnen. Kan hij niet uit elkaar?

Good morning Martijn, would you be so kind as to give me the recipe waight,temperature for the fantastic bread you make.Im going to attempt to make it later on. Absolutely love your videos ❤stay well stay safe. Uk England

Thanks!

Hi Martijn! Yet another beautiful upload. Forgive me if I missed this in the video, but I thought I’d recommend that your firepit needs holes or little gaps inbetween the stones in order for oxygen to make it to the bottom of the cylinder. It makes for a better and a safer fire and it will reduce the probability of all of your hard mortar work cracking or exploding in the future! Just like drainage in the flower bed.

Oh, I love the new little fridge! My family had one very much like it at our summer place when I was young & seeing yours brought back warm (cool?) memories. ❤

I cried for your chicken

First time viewer, wow the stone work is awesome !

Mí hija vive en hutrech allí conocí tus videos.gracias por traductor

Te miro en la tele hace años desde Ezeiza Argentina

Need goats😂😂😂

Is getting boring...fire place, cooking, 🤭

If one had to survive and provide for a family, perhaps a large family, imagine how hard life must have been. This thought is no slight on Martijn's work and independent-mindedness, which I admire greatly. Thank you for such beautiful and tranquil footage.

Well, Martijn, I knew you were a multi-talented man, but I would have never guessed you could start a raging fire with the clap of your hands! Very nice😁 As far as your shed, isn’t one of your brothers a craftsman? Maybe something could be worked out with him? Just a thought. You’ve probably already discussed the shed plans with him, I’d guess. Took ma awhile to get to your video this week. Been working as a sparehand at a PaperMill. Lots of mixed up hours. But I will always make sure I do not miss a single upload. 🙂 How on earth do you drive on those small mountain roads and fly a drone at the same time? Are you hiding a camera person somewhere at your cabin? 😂

I always wonder how Martijin finds his way back from his walks, and doesn’t get lost. Always enjoy his videos. 👌always very pleasing.

Are there any good arguments for why one shouldn't be able to build a shed off-grid without having to be a craftsman?

this is as close as it gets to reading a beautiful book...

Where can I get a hat like Martijn's?

these guys are a breath of fresh air compared with what you usually see... i guess kindred spirits attracts each others. Beautiful

way better than anything on netflix

Regarding your building and zoning codes, it makes me ever so glad that I chose to move to Sweden. At least in the US, most codes allow a person to do their own work, even new construction, without being a professional builder. You would have to provide engineered drawings for most anything, but at least you can do the work as long as you call for and have inspections as required and that those inspections pass. If they do not, you have to fix the errors. But to deny a person categorically, the right to create one's own abode, seems very backwards to me. Sweden allows for people to be responsible for their own well being and the system is designed to allow people to learn and prove themselves. I have always felt that a few sound principles to guide your life are much better than volumes and volumes of rule.......which will inevitably conflict and inhibit growth rather than foster growth, self expression and creativity. I am sorry to hear that there is no way to prove your skill and value to the community. Maybe you should find a contractor who is a one man show and have him hire you.

Where can I get a hat like this?
