Ahhh Sunday afternoon!! It’s like sitting down with family and catching up on the news. I’m 85 and live in British Columbia Canada with no family and only acquaintances so thank you for inviting us along on your journey. Well done!!!

[@T1M6]

Hello Lois...I'm 75, from UK . It's wonderful to watch the whole process from our armchair isn't it. 😄 Xx

[@DingleDingleCasil196]

Best time to view his video.

[@michelenavarro8083]

@Lois Eldridge You’ve got me now Lois! I promise to be watching with you every Sunday !! 😑

[@beam-kitty8425]

You’re not alone Lois, seems to be many of us old folks out here watching.❤

[@donovanvprose]

Watching from the Cowichan Valley BC. Cheers!

[@monalingan9523]

Sometimes I don’t know how to express how I feel after watching one of your videos. I know that I feel calm, I feel relaxed, and your scenery leaves me in awe. Your videos are a positive addiction. 😊

[@mizb.9170]

Exactly !! Well said ❤

[@pmotherat]

Agreed! I look forward to Sunday updates.

[@sgrvtl7183]

My sentiments exactly, thank you~

[@lonewolfgeoff]

wow! well said, totally accurate! 😊

[@annamariagennara1479]

Assolutamente vero!

[@Slakus]

Wow, that city view with the night sky is absolutely gorgeous

[@skeena59]

What city is that?

[@DingleDingleCasil196]

It’s really a beautiful view in the night. The Golden sparkling lights.

[@snowblind5020]

@@skeena59 I am guessing Torino in English Turin due to Martjin saying his town was Torre Pellice in a few previous episodes. It is a great city hope this helps

[@michelenavarro8083]

You’ve been saving that little sparkly treat for us huh? We’re in it 40 episodes and you just now dropped it?! 😯Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got up your sleeve 🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

[@carpanis]

@@snowblind5020 It's not Torino, Torino is much larger and it's hidden by the mountains on the left, as it is north of Val Pellice. I guess those are some smaller towns of the Po Valley at the base of the Alps, such as Bibiana or Cavour (in some daily footage you could actually see the "Rocca di Cavour", a very peculiar hill in the middle of the plain: it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocca_di_Cavour, only in Italian, sorry)

[@robinmeek7593]

That view of city lights at night was stunning!

[@nicolethijs5428]

Yes but I felt scared seeing him on that viewing point at night! One wrong step and he could be dead!

[@susancombee4653]

I was amazed to see how many lights there are! I didn't realize there was that much civilization around you (or I should say below you).

[@twiglet2214]

Yes it was beautiful !

[@grahamhosker2034]

Take it easy Martijn. Whatever it is, let’s hope it passes soon. Great video as always, you’re doing something many others can’t even dream about. Including me.

[@1dkappe]

Yes, don’t push yourself too hard.

[@kathrynmoll86]

A good neighbor you have in Johannes. There must be some comfort in knowing you have someone looking after your well being and greenhouse fruits! Always, thank you for engaging content. Warm Greetings from the U.S.A.!

Agree. Johannes is a man of The Way, and it shows. He brings a grace and joy with him.

[@steveholmshaw8702]

Sunday evening MADE ❤

[@shirleycovey7309]

Your neighbor Johannes was so thoughtful leaving the chestnuts and then bringing the rock melon...he walked a fair distance! City lights were awesome,,,thank you for taking us there. Always a pleasure and get some rest!

[@Django44]

A person could not have a better neighbour.

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

The roof was hard work…but the foundations & flooring will really be at test. Be careful this winter with the many challenges ahead. We benefit from seeing your calm and positive spirit in this peaceful setting. Thank you.

[@Michael-si7dc]

Thanks for such a special special episode! Something shifted, perhaps it is the season changing (the abstraction of the leaves on your transparant kitchen roof) but it felt like sitting down in a comfortable chair and reading a book that you know you're going to love.

[@sgrvtl7183]

Beautifully stated, Thank You~

[@DingleDingleCasil196]

Nice words, poetic comments. Learned new beautiful message, Thanks.

[@schlorchable]

how much cutting/editing/cam/scenery/drone/walk-back-and-fix-the-filming-position/laptop-work to present more than 330k viewers your hard work up there. = my deepest respect. thank you very much, Martijn. I am just a consumer of your project.

[@Django44]

Spot on. Unless we have done all that ourselves we have no idea what is involved.

[@marietabacks8825]

I find your videos very relaxing while being informative as well ….grounding like a walk through the forest….thanks

[@gailhowes9398]

I agree with what you said, Martijn doesn’t mind to admit when he has errored and quick to give advice on how he could have done the wood splinter a better way. I like his relaxed way of doing things and certainly not afraid of hard work. To me this is an ideal life☺️

[@femmie7747]

It’s getting cold here in Canada, and I can’t imagine not feeling well and living in a tent in this weather. No such thing as just hunkering down in bed and resting in the warmth. You have to go out in the cold to meet every need. You’ve been working so hard, Martin, and we sit in our recliners and cheer you on. But maybe once the roof is on, you need to go back to the Netherlands for a month or more, and give yourself a break. Rest. You deserve it. The work will still be there when you return. From an Oma who cares!

[@Anne-yw6ed]

The pile of chopped wood lining the driveway is very beautiful.

[@lauriegani8136]

Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling under the weather. Prayers for rest and recovery 🙏

[@josephmarciano4761]

First time I've seen the valley at night. Didn't realize how populated it is.

[@helentaylor369]

Please look after the cat, it will get very cold up there soon. That little feline needs a home. ⛺️🐈

[@sandranatali1260]

Even though cats hunt, they need the nutrition that comes from food we supply them. Eating nothing but protein supplied by mice/rats, their lives are shorter if they don't get their food supplemented. With winter coming it would be a good idea for you to feed the cat. They come for the food and help to keep the mouse population down. So please supplement the cat's food and maybe a warm blanket out of the the weather to be warm, especially during storms.

[@NK-iv1ik]

Name it Kipling… It may make its way in to your heart and hearth, cats know some magic ways 😉

[@marypaddey4625]

Perhaps as the winter draws in you will be grateful of a little furry company. Btw put a stone slab in front of your stove..just in case a cinder or log drops out onto that nice rug.

[@FUToob]

The cat is a friend.

[@annagunter2638]

His name is Joshua

[@stillirise4289]

Wow! Speechless your videos have many of us sitting on the edge of our chairs with such excitement and anticipation ! The colors are magnificent! Love all your videos!

[@arieveloo9808]

Yes they are really Great 👍

[@ellenhenmi8119]

every where is rainy 😣

[@binder098]

The combination of your edits, shot angles layered with the aural richness of some of your scenes sometimes catch me off guard and remind me of how masterfully you present these videos. The overhead of your working on the gables and the shot from behind as you go see the cows especially with its the musical underlay I mention as examples. Real happy to know you have a local stone roofer to advise, you’ll only have one shot to get it right for the next 100 years.

[@user-mx4kk5mm1x]

Yes! Love the shots from above (and below), as well as the drone shots. Feels like a Master class.

[@JonDunnmusician]

It is a class by a MASTER

[@DaniElleBeesBuzz]

I rarely comment but want you to know how much I enjoy your videos. I love being alone and watching you being mostly self-sufficient is inspiring. I hope you listen to your body and take it easy as much as you can:)

[@vladislavovich100]

Always cut mushrooms do not uproot them, if you want to find more mushrooms on this spot for next year and more.

[@sdqsdq6274]

myth to some

[@Django44]

This is correct - and important.

[@janetwalker3541]

When you're not feeling well, get the garlic out and either eat one clove a day raw or 3 cloves a day cooked in your meals. Also lots of vitamin C helps too, whether you take a supplement or get it from fruit. Home made chicken soup with lots of veggies helps too! ... Hope you get better soon!

[@R-Texas]

The honey on his muslix that morning was good idea, too. 😉

The mushrooms at 37:06 will take you right back to the late 60's 🤣

Appreciating how hard you're working on your project and the care you take to share what you're doing so we can all join in your process and in our own way, make it part of our own. It is a challenge to anyone's health to work and live in all kinds of weather and not compromise your health from time to time. I'm sorry you're not feeling your best and hope you heal quickly. I selfishly look forward to your weekly updates and videos but care even more that you heal yourself first...and So, I want to thank you for sharing your life.

Woke up excited to watch your latest video while having my coffee. But had to wait a bit longer… not disappointed. I love “visiting” your little parcel of paradise. Stay safe

You have done an amazing job thus far, the evening and drone views are stunning, truly a beautiful area you are in, hope you are much better soon.

[@oksana7301]

It’s all coming together slowly but surely. It’s no wonder you’re a little as you mentioned “under the weather “. That’s a lot of hard labour and mentally you’re always figuring things out. So body and mind have been hard at it. Glad you take time to go for walks and clear your head and relax your soul🙏 thank you for allowing us all into your life.

[@leannemackie8890]

I agree with you Lois it’s just the most beautiful and peaceful place I’ve seen, it’s like he has a little peace of heaven up there in the mountains 🇦🇺

I like the country living ,away from all the worldly distractions and noise. It’s good to hear the sounds of nature and are blessed the the sunrise and sunset and the beautiful cloud formations and colours, Every season there’s a reason. The stars are night are countless. You feel more at peace and close to God.

[@donatask776]

Every episode is a masterpiece of its own, hope you keep this up as long as you can. Thank you Martijn!

[@lesley7706]

I had tears in my eyes at the end there and I don’t know why.? Maybe it’s the beauty of your surroundings or that you aren’t feeling too good, but I’m so looking forward to next weeks episode… it always starts my Monday mornings off with a positive attitude for the rest of the week. Thank you for sharing your life….

[@user-mx4kk5mm1x]

Yes. I get a strong emotional reaction to Martijn's videos too. I contrast the peace and honesty (Integrity? Authenticity?) of Martijn's life with politics in the States. Which is healthier? I am longing for the Real rather than a Big Lie.

[@wvantuyl]

I hope the cat will stay and keep you company. Take care, listen well to your body. Thnx again for all the autumn beauty.

[@marjorieschulz6658]

I too hope the cat finds a home with you. Just make sure it is neutered.

[@lindachenoweth9002]

Oh my! you've done a lot for someone not feeling well, hope it doesn't last much longer. So, I knew there was a town below you, but had no idea it stretched out so far. Thanks so much for that beautiful night shot. You live in such a beautiful area it would be crazy not to take many different photos. Can't wait to see the outer shell, walls and roof all done, it surely will look awesome. So great to know people who know how a project should be built correctly. You have been blessed to know so many different people. Goodby cows! Take care Martijn!

A pleasure to watch. Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit under the weather. Try and get some rest, Martijn.🍂💕

[@larrywerring9674]

I love the sense of peace that I get watching your videos. The views and scenery are phenomenal, especially the drone footage. I love the abandoned structures around you and, if I weren't so old, would love to be doing what you are - restoring life to an ancient way of living.

[@marthaollis5049]

Me too. Loved the two structures on your walk. I could feel them coming into beautiful, usable spaces. I envy your youth, strength and mobility. Hope you are well soon. Like everything else in your videos, I have been feeling your malaise as though it were my own. It is a beautiful place you have chosen to live. I admire your spirit and taste. I hope your future there will not be adversely affected by the state of politics and the events in the world near you.

[@JonDunnmusician]

Yes time to let go the underberrier and focus on the stone end knowledge of the master coming by

[@lorrilaque7311]

A suggestion, put one or two of the solar panels on wheels so you can move it around for sun spots. Especially for the winter. Love your videos ✨

[@ericaltmann5711]

Good news getting a tradesman for advice and on site. Your methodical approach and getting advice is helping you move along nicely. The more advice you can get from local tradesman the better, they know the conditions, the materials and the regulations, and most importantly, do this work everyday, for years. One thing I have learned as a tradesman myself, is that each trade has a VAST depth of knowledge required, and unlike yourself, those without these skills usually have no idea or respect for what is required. We have a saying in Australia about “weekend warriors” and how the purchase of a circular saw instantly turns a city accountant into a master builder who knows more than the tradesmen who come to fix his mistakes. Keep up the good work mate!

[@bettymynatt7339]

Love to watch your progress. Takes a lot of patience, you apparently have that. Beautiful views. Hope you start feeling better soon. Will pray 🙏 for you. God Bless

Hi Martijn, thanks for the great video as always. Nice job on the stone work. Be well and safe.

A feral cat maybe? I tamed one as a kitten. It had a broken leg that hadn't set properly and at first it spat and growled, but I kept leaving it food. It was 6 weeks before I could touch it but now it is a real treasure, very affectionate. Sleeps outside, keeps the property rodent and stoat-free and also helps keep rabbit numbers down during baby rabbit season.

[@bobdohr5033]

I always watch your videos on my TV via Roku, so I'm never able to comment. But I felt compelled to jump on my phone and drop a note. Your videos are awesome and I look forward to them every week. They're beautifully shot, expertly edited, informative and entertaining. I also enjoy the range of what you take on. From masonry, carpentry, gardening, cooking, bread making to who knows what else. It's quite remarkable. I'm not a regular commenter, so excuse me using up space for my thoughts. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching.

[@JonDunnmusician]

You made the right choice following the wisdom of the experienced Craftsman regarding eliminating the metal for the roof

[@R-Texas]

When he first mentioned the metal roof, I never was able to comprehend how the stones would stay on slippery metal. I was waiting to see what Martijn was going to do about that. My answer came this week....he isn't. 😊 He has taught me patience and time will bring about answers! 😄

[@JonDunnmusician]

@@R-Texas well put, it took me 50 years to learn patience & time, & I still struggle & need reminding Thank you

[@annewillmott3091]

I cannot thank you enough for the deep pleasure your videos bring, Martijn 😊 Only sorry that you are not quite 100% at the moment, especially with the need to finish the walling before winter makes roofing too difficult. It’s so interesting to see how you are constantly working out better, more efficient ways of working without loosing the rustic simplicity of your project. So glad you’ll be having some company and extra help shortly. My family lived in a remote valley in the West Country some years ago. After Christmas people would sometimes drop off their unwanted cats, who had grown beyond the cute kitten stage, at the end of the valley. It took my husband several days of wiley temptations to encourage Tomas, a big but battered Tom cat to let him help. Finally he gave in…moved in…. and lived happily ever after. Every time of the day or night Tomas could be heard purring steadily as he curled up in the corner with our two cairn terriers. Quiet company can be comforting. Thank you so very much for the joy you bring to us all, no matter where in the world we live or whatever language we speak. Your beautiful work speaks directly through our minds into our hearts. That is a treasure behind measure. 😊

[@debbiecress7599]

use the sheet-metal as roofing if you build a wood shed

[@chadstrutzenberg9171]

I’m really enjoying your journey! Some of us had to live vicariously through others.

[@growinginlife]

You need to purchase another load of wood. It doesn’t appear that you have enough to heat your tent for the winter. Always have more than you need. You could use the sheet metal from your building that you no longer need to build an open sided shed to store all of your wood under to keep it dry. Build it larger than you think you will need. You can store your wheel barrow and other tools under it to protect from the winter, even your trailer.

[@grantpatrick4343]

Thank you Martijn for your commitment to creating a work of art. As a remote audience, watching vicariously, we can only imagine the effort, dedication and discomfort you endure to restore those two old buildings and present your journey to us. As an aircraft/avionics engineer living in New Zealand I've enjoyed the research you've done to prepare the way and resolve problems to fine tune your vision. Also your willingness to learn and make changes based on new knowledge and recommendations from others. Keep up the good work, press on when the going gets tough, and take care.

Hey Martijn, love it. But you shouldn't rip off these mushrooms with roots, just cut them next time (like every other). They will grow again in the same place. Cheers from Tenerife.

So moody and wonderful. Calming fall colors. That place is absolutely beautiful to look at this time of year.

[@rnedisc]

The zipper sound and then the block of wood out of nowhere was so funny hahaha. Poor kitty.

[@ninemoonplanet]

Even though you're definitely not feeling your best, you are getting very close to ensuring that cabin/house will last for decades which must be very satisfying. Improvising the splitter for tinder should help keep you occupied splitting the tinder without causing harm to fingers and arms. The roof expansion was certainly needed, and no matter how hot the shower water could have been, showering in snow isn't pleasant. As for the cat, see if you can find some way to give it shelter too. It will need water and food supplement and in return your own food will be safer. Tradeoff for both of you..

[@ninemoonplanet]

The stones in the lower floor were placed vertically to compensate for frost heaving, as well as making the floor stable for the weight of the animals. The arches on that very old building were made by building an archway support using wood, then you may notice that, again, the stones were placed vertically, providing both support against each one as well as maintaining the strength of the arch itself. Both techniques are extremely old.
