Fascinating to follow this man as he builds in such a beautiful, peaceful place. Makes me wish I wasn't too old (75) to follow his example. In this increasingly stressful world such a retreat from the noise of the world is desirable.

I'm coming up for 3 years renovating a French Farm house that potentially dates back to sometime in the 1700s. Its been super stressful, testing and at times cold ( I will never forget those first couple of weeks), BUT what I've learnt and the experience and memories we have made (Partner and 2 dogs) and the accomplishments achieved are sooo worth it! Seeing you starting on your beautiful cabin and making those first moves again; a time when you're stripped back to absolute necessities and nothing more and being pushed by nature to show you what you're really made of makes me really want to start all over again and enjoy a truly raw, rustic existence once more

[@fredgervin9930]

I am in upstate New York, upper end of the Appalachian Plateau. I love the old stone structures. A lot of old stone houses to the south in Pennsylvania. I watch a lot of videos of abandoned homesteads in Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy. Abandoned, as people left for cities and jobs. It is great to see people return, less concerned about money and wanting to return to a less hectic way of life. Grow your own food, be self sufficient, work hard, enjoy nature, and escape the chaos of urban cities. I love watching sunsets from my hilltop property, procuring firewood, and just having a relaxing walk in our woods in the summer under the canopy of the leaves, a break from the sun and heat of summer.

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

Sir, I hope seeing what the priest man has accomplished in 3 yrs will be a HUGE encouragement to you. If at any time you get disheartened I strongly suggest you pay him a visit , and do that every time, si you don't give up.

As a woman in this field tho I must advise other women - the camaraderie will not apply to you in your project. Before undertaking something like this find a very good lawyer, take 20 cards & hand them out to anyone you deal with, especially on early days, with comment ‘if there are any problems pls phone xyz as they understand language & rules better than I do’. It will still be hard but you will come out of it in 1 piece.

Martin, in Alaska, the hunters would jam moss from the trees in the cracks of their cabins to keep the heat in. Then in the summer months they would make a mud using the local dirt, water, and moss, mix together to put in the cracks before winter came again.

[@mangethegamer]

Just a heads up. Some moss grow incredibly slow and play an important role in the ecosystem. It might not actually be legal to remove it. We have much harder environmental laws in Europe than in the US so Martijn should definingly look it up before he does anything that can put him in trouble with the legal system.

hello Martijn, i hope you don't mind an unsolicited suggestion. i have had some experience creating temporary warm space in a barn and a warehouse space. here is what i came up with: first i tied roughly 1/8" nylon ropes to the rafters in large Xs from ceiling corners, i then slide reflectix in between the tension tied criscrossed ropes and the rafters. this forms a temporary ceiling shield. it reduces the draft coming in, reflects lighting to make the space brighter, and also kicks the rising heat back to the room. best part is, the materials all can be reused in your rebuild. It is also helpful to sleep on top of it, forms vapor barrier and kicks your body heat back to you. if you can not buy reflectix, white or silver tarp can also work to a lesser extent. well wishes! cheers 🌻🌟
