I'm sewing the small curtain underneath the sink (with some advice from my mother), I receive news about the building regulations for the works shop and make a start with tiling the basement floor.

Martijn, the skills and talent it takes for someone to produce the quality of work you do are many, but there’s one I think leads all the others: your ability of seeing beauty. You see beauty in many different places, many of them ‘mundane’ to our eyes. The beauty of not only the mesmerising view from your cabins, but the beauty in the wall putting, in the wood grains, in the styles of everything around you. Your mindful lifestyle allows you to not only look at stuff but also see them. And of course your mastering of the skills of film making gives us these weekly gifts we all enjoy peacefully. I wish you the best of luck and health so you can continue inspiring us for very long. Best wishes from your homecountry

It's always a pleasure to sit back and share your life and work with you on a Sunday morning. The birds chirping, the chickens clucking and following you around (until the router fires up, lol), the fire roaring, the sewing machine out in the 'meadow', the fastidious work on the floor vent for the oven-----heck; the whole shebang! It's a total joy and my aged eyes and soul thank you.

My wife and kids all know it, sometimes they join for a few minutes to watch "tha man on the mountain." I'm in for the long haul, Patreon supporter. If you feel the same, throw the man some cash for the hour of zen he gives us every week.

It's nice to see Martijn watching a film, in his cabin, on his Macbook. Living in the tent was something that needed to be done, but now, a year later, the time has come to start to have "a normal life". And watching a film in a heated cabin, that isn't going to get destroyed the next time the wind really blows, is ample evidence of a life "bordering on normal".

@OfficialMartijnD0oIaard Hi Martijn, I absolutely love watching you. I live at 1200 mtrs height at the foot of Sierra Nevada. I built my own house, and like you live off grid with solar energy and a wood stove. And I must say you are the first and only person I have ever seen lighting a fire from the top!!

[@karinaraiss9041]

But unlike you I was already 52 when I started! And I didn't dare lay the tubes for the water. As I had always had leaks doing the irrigation system, I didn't want to risk leaks in the house!

[@Grandroborox]

This lighting from the top is the way to go because most of the gasses released from the wood below get burnt whereas if you do it the other way around it escapes which results in air pollution and less heat.@@karinaraiss9041

[@kwilliams9788]

Sunday night always starts with "a Martijn", as your films are affectionately known in our house. Watching you sew the curtain was poetic, and I could tell the first one was not to your liking. I could not understand what you said on the phone but guessed your Mum was telling you how to make the curtain fuller. The result (as always) was absolutely perfect. The whole film was beautiful - the floor vent to dry your clothes is brilliant and you were so modest about learning how to make it. I don't quite know what we'd do without this therapy on a Sunday, thankyou.

Martijn, nice job on the cleaning. It occurred to me that perhaps you might get a soft bristle broom and sweep down the stone walls once a month or so since cooking oils, soot, and general dust might accumulate on the stones. It's just a suggestion, but you've every right to be proud of your home. Can you build a breezeway between the workshop and wood store with a stone patio and a sheltered roof where you could put you outdoor kitchen? The stone patio could extend out far enough for a table and chairs for meals, or an outdoor grill for cooking, or even a bench you could use as an outdoor bed on warm nights? You could set up a chimena for a fire on the patio too. Sorry, I got carried away! Lol

Better yet- you know how to not always talk. The front of your kitchen is pure Martiin. It looks like it could lifted from a Vermeer painting. Since your so grounded in nature - rock, mountains, wood and food - your insight that you need to be outdoors most of the time, for inspiration. Artists need a muse and an outdoor kitchen and shop will provide the stage for many wonderful videos of Martiin doing his dance. Cheers

You can make a rod pocket on the bottom of the under sink curtain and run a dowel through to connect on either side of the bottom of the sink cabinet and that will hold the curtain neatly in place. In that case I’d split the curtain so you can access under the sink through the middle. This is how we do it in the American South. Except we leave a little underneath the bottom rod pocket to make a ruffle. You can leave that part off if you want…you don’t strike me as a ruffle guy.
