The absolute best KZbin series. The best thing I watch all week to be honest.

[@youraverageoperator]

It is a really good series.

Hi Martin, I am a heating engineer. To make this system safe the solid fuel side must be open to atmosphere (open vented system), and normally open valves must be used. Linking together a solid fuel heat source and a boiler is possibly the most complicated domestic heating system going, not only the plumbing but also the wiring. You can run into all sorts of problems like tanks boiling over, huge amounts of condensation on the heat exchanger that could ruin your stove, and at worst an explosion that could rip the house apart. I massively respect your work and think you're doing a great job, but I would highly recommend getting professionals in with specific experience on solid fuel heating systems for this one, most of this stuff is beyond your average plumber! It will absolutely pay off to have it done right the first time.

[@danthompson8212]

I don't know much about electric boilers, but I would imagine you could run into problems running them on a low pressure open vented system, low pressure systems are also less efficient. The best way around this would be hydronic separation of the two systems, and a neutraliser.

[@charlesparr1611]

I am a plumber by trade in Canada, a fully qualified journeyman with decades of experience and I agree one hundred percent. Heating systems should not be designed or installed by amateurs, they are incredibly dangerous, and will kill you in your sleep, and the dangers are often very easy to misunderstand or to overlook. It is a place to pay for professionals, and also to soak up as much knowledge from them as possible so you will know if something is wrong. heating systems almost seem to want to murder human beings with carbon monoxide, and it requires a lot of knowledge to set things up, and a fair bit to maintain systems that will not manage to murder you in your sleep. Yes I am being a bit over the top, but the dangers are very very real.

[@andreaswezel3332]

It's good to hear the experts say "Get an expert!", because that's just what I, as a diy-guy, was thinkin. But in principle I like the idea of a very well insulated storage tank much better than a tank next to the fire. In times like autumn you might want to run the stove only every other day or so, but the storage tank can provide you with warm water over a few days without running the stove. Also it gives room for future addition of other heat sources like solar water heating.

[@firenter]

Here's something I just noticed: because this community is so friendly with each other it's easy to forget how many of us there are here watching Martijn every week. Over half a milion people are subscribed, and after just about 1 day of the video being up already over 150 thousand people have watched it. And we're all just here, vibing, enjoying a small reprieve from our daily hustle just to watch man dig some dirt, cut some pipes and take a walk.

[@patbrougham9929]

I am a homesteader of over 50 years, and a retired carpenter. Here is what I like about your ways, you gave up on the crane and went with your roofer friends old school way. You scrapped plumbing plan1 with it's pumps and valves, and went with the straightforward plan2, after listening to other's thoughts. This kind of thoughtfulness, flexibility, and lack of ego will serve you well. More power to your arm, brother!

[@kvk1960]

Do you think Martijn knows how, for some of us, his videos are the only moments of sheer joy and peace and calm in our lives? Or how incredibly much we look forward to each week of his precious videos, savouring each minute, for those very reasons? I sure hope so. ❤❤

[@Pilot333]

I wonder about the same

[@matteokrevatin1264]

same!

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

@ML Wessel That is so incredible sad & pathetic at the same time. Martjin is merely a hard working man ,who loves what he's doingcandvis making a living by filming it and posting it on YT to get likes & comments that in turn make it financially viable to continue in the pursuit of his goals. That he lives in a beautiful peaceful environment is a blessing to be sure but he is merely a man mot a god.

[@Chrisharrison-tf7mg]

A master class on a particular lifestyle. Thoroughly enjoying this series. The cadence, methodical approach and our host's calm demeanor are rare. The scenery is a constant reminder of why he is there. The help from many good people reminds me that "No man is an island". Particularly like his comment of having a few skills.

[@loudoret353]

I suspect that Martijn doesn't do it "for us", but for an income that sustains his lifestyle - but that he produces quality content with the same values and care that we see him renovating his property with, is a joy in itself, and I don't mind who he does it for, cos it's just lovely anyway.

[@reginapierson2117]

It’s gratifying to know you are rehabbing this for future generations to enjoy as well. Everything, although time consuming, is done to last. Something tells me that it’s the journey for you and not necessarily the destination. Everything done with precision and quality. Enjoying this journey. Thanks

[@fafafarmlife]

Thật là tuyệt vời ❤

[@garyfairbrother5532]

I watch your hard labors of hacking, shoveling and steady building progress and am amazed…and then the spiritual part of you, that composes a solitary figure on a misty mountain slope, reveals even more creativity. That’s what keeps me waiting for your next visit. Thanks…again.

[@ronja63]

Gary Fair brother ... not give attention to this comment of someone who named himself as Martinj Doolard...and asking to chat with... it's "fake". Actually Martinj said that his name going in blue "field" around...

The best part of my weekend is watching this series and i enjoy and savor every moment ❤

[@donnawitty4663]

I love watching Spring come to life on your Mountain. You just inspire people. We are doing some work on our back garden and I am going to create an outdoor kitchen space as you have shown us all just how simple it can be to create one. Love your channel and can't wait to see the chickens in your chicken coop. Thank you Martin for sharing your life with the world. PS I think you just might be creating a whole new community up in the mountains with your inspiration.

[@loudoret353]

There's a thought - we could collectively buy a whole abandoned village and pool our skills! Probably just a fantasy... but isn't that how all adventures start? ;)

This is such a beautiful series, one where I have to take an hour or so on my Sunday to just sit and absorb the beauty and the calm. His placement of the cameras, the play of light and dark, and his compositions reflect his Dutch artistic heritage. It reminds me that once upon a time I thought of myself as a lifelong learner. Now I know I'm still learning.

[@nabil200131]

Almost 12 minutes with no commentary , we watch you working and we know what you’re doing and I love it ! Plus the link shots in between sequences : What a lecture in film making. It is my privilege to watch you every Sunday. Great job.

[@michelenavarro8083]

First time I realized that perspective of your property.. You have your own hill for sledding right there by the chicken coup! Beautiful!! I too would have to exhaust myself daily with projects, in order to sleep nights, for all the plans in my head!! Great Fun Watching Your Dream Manifest! 💭Thanks for having us .. Yes… Savor Spring!! 🌱🌧

[@taleofawhale6964]

Its amazing how many dexterities you command ,Martin! You can do all the work yourself and apart from the satisfaction you save a lot of money. I wish I had a little bit of your abilities and finish my cottage but I have to rely on different craftsmen. I am grateful there are around though. The only thing I command well is growing vegetables of all kind which gives me a lot of satisfiction and connection with nature. I see your effords and I take lessons from your videos. We are many out there who appreciate simplicity in life away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

I would strongly advise to embed some conduit before pouring the final conrete. You never know what you want to add later on. Let's say you want to have a Starlink dish on the roof and put an ethernet cable to the other cabin, that could be solved neatly with some conduit.

[@hizzeist]

In your simple version you'll accumulate a lot of rust in the steel tank... Commercial versions have a sacrificial anode to combat this. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@hn3m3s1s]

isn't it that the anode is here to prevent the acidity of the water to 'eat' the tank? so the sacrificial anode is here to be eaten ... ?

[@RomeroVidal]

Not really, stainless steel is quite durable and u could use zinc bath or even aluminium, it just depends on the amount of pressure built inside and the volume of the tank

[@KOutOfMyYard]

Alright,I have commented rarely bc I wanted to be fully informed and now have watch all episodes and am up to date.

Been on my country property in Ontario. Canada for 26 years. Everyday is change, every month is an evolution. Can't imagine any other place to live. You have found your home, your heart as I have found mine.

[@SignificantOwl]

There's a kind of romanticism in being so close to the fruits of your labor. With a job, at least with my job, I do it and I get paid, and then I use that money to live. But the abstraction of money makes it all seem disconnected. I'm not delusional enough to pretend that living off the land would be better, necessarily, but being closer to the ultimate result of what you do is an attractive thought. I guess that's what your videos give me. A window into what life could also be like, if I pulled up my metaphorical tent poles and did something entirely different - even if I doubt I'll ever do that. Thanks for your videos. They are enjoyable and appreciated.

[@jooch_exe]

The disconnection with money is intentional, that way people spend more (to be happy).

It funny, but even though you are alone on your property, it doesn't seem that way to us because we feel like we are right there with you as you carry on with your daily tasks and the renovations. It so welcoming to watch you as you process your thinking strategies and the final draft on your next step. Your channel is truly inviting. Can't wait for next Sunday! I laugh because I am wishing for the weekend to get here, knowing Sunday is near! Thank you Martijn for all of this! ❤ Michigan

[@MikeMoralesCalifornia]

Keep up the good work, Martijn. Your productions are a highlight of our weekend. The setting is perfect and your project is compelling. Good job with the outside spring cleaning. I suspect chickens will arrive very soon. Highlights for us. *Background visuals no matter the weather. *Neighbor Johannes cameos. *Hikes! *Cooking. *Planning and blueprints of coming projects. *The changing seasons. *Visitors. *Your expert drone usage. Kind of surprised you don't tease weekend videos with short clips throughout the week. Stay safe up there, Martijn.

[@lindab.8936]

We like the sheer peacefulness of your videos...but there's always something interesting & inventive happening. Would love it, Martijn, if you could sometimes talk more about your thoughts on living in the forest & your appreciation for Nature - we love listening & can often identify with similar thoughts & values. 👍🏻

When you surround yourself with the very essence of nature, you become a natural if not born one. If born a true natural you must become one with nature's gifts at all costs! This is who you are!

[@buffalo4127]

Martijn, i listened to your discussion on the masonry stove and found it very good. I think you want to optimize the heat transfer to a water jacket very near the heat source. The expansion valve removes any danger of explosion. Also run very short heating coils in the concrete floor. Lastly utilize the sun for h2o heating as well…you’ll beat the utility supplier!

[@patriciatoth7715]

My wife and I renovated two houses over the years and we even built a house. Our kids helped and when they were older their friends ..wanted to help us too. One of them had become very physically powerful. A world renowned personal trainer and a kung fu expert. So he grabs the pick to loosen the soil. About 2 inches of soil then boulders then bedrock. He was so strong he bent the pick!. Lol. I showed it to all our friends. He was worried we would be mad at him but we loved him. Some strength, eh?

Hey Martijn, wederom weer een mooi rustgevende video. Het slot over de groene blaadjes, was zeer herkenbaar. Zelf ook lang in Amsterdam gewoond en inmiddels alweer enige tijd in Zwitserland in de buurt van veel groen, waar je ook iedere dag een nieuw kleurenpalet hebt aan blaadjes. Ga zo door! Heb ooit bij Rapha je presentatie over je fietsavonturen bezocht, maar ben inmiddels ook weer verknocht aan je wekelijkse updates. Groet en succes met de bouwwerkzaamheden!!

[@ainord1]

Martijn the reason is clear. It's absolutely spectacular and if you are happy in yourself then you see the beauty even more.

[@dottiebaker6623]

If the masonry stove really gets to 1000 degrees celsius, anything in it that's soldered is going to separate. I so enjoy seeing you take in all the minute changes in nature, day by day. The joy of it never gets old. You are so right when you observe that we don't see this when we live in cities. If everyone one lived as close to nature as you do, we wouldn't be killing the planet.

[@wishnewsky]

Birds are usually where insects are, and those live in grass and leaves, so as soon as those birch trees near feeder will have leaves again, some bird will occasionally stumble upon the seeds, tell about this place to all of their flock, and then you will have another problem: too many birds! :D Also, different birds prefer different seeds, so probably a pre-made mix of seeds will bring more bird variety, which is always awesome. Loving your series, did not miss a single one.

Martijn, I heard you say you left your laundry in the machine in town. Once you get your bathroom set up, you may want to consider getting a portable washer (they are lightweight) that you can hook up to the tub/shower faucet and wash your laundry at home. You just need space to store in between loads. YT has plenty of video's on the pro's and cons of these units. However, since it is just for yourself, you won't have to worry about leaving the laundry in town again!

[@loril.mangold8160]

Hey I realize everyday you have a LOT of work to do preparing your house BEFORE winter comes, so I am going to make a suggestion, why move the dirt behind your house on the slope, just build a retaining wall from the rubble, flatten it out, a terrace. It would be a nice place for a future garden. You are a very resourceful man, moving rock and dirt to the bottom of your chicken coop, None of your ACTIONS , are wasted, all thought ahead. And you are so hard working, you are a very Admired man, for your diligence, and ingenuity, you Dutch are extremely intelligent.

May I make a suggestion to your planning of the area you are now excavating ,to make this a downstairs bathroom with a short staircase down to the current opening to the outside and fill this opening with glass bricks for light. You would have plenty of space then for a shower, toilet and wash basin, leaving ample room upstairs for a bedroom I'm sure you have thought of this idea as everything you have done has been done with forethought and precision. I look forward with great anticipation for your next weekly vlog ad always.

Spero che lei comincia anche a parlare l’italiano… un vero piacere di guardare la video della domenica sera! Mille grazie! Non finire mai i lavori😊 brig.

[@jeffjefferson2676]

Well, for the heater, I would use an existing plan that has worked for other people too. There should be something on the internet about this topic already. I've seen fan heaters around stove pipes, I've seen copper piping around stoves, and around chimneys. It should work just fine. I've also seen Pellet Stoves, they have a cast iron piece where the water goes through. Two wall radiators should also work, but if you really want to, the floor heating can be done too. :) Just be sure to use firebricks for the stove. Greetings, Jeff

Prachtig. Ja, je word onderdeel van de natuur. Je ademt mee met het ritme. En het maakt zo bewust. Heel mooi!

I am a fan of all your journeys, especially the current one. I look forward every sunday to watch the new episode. During the week, I re-watch it again as well as previous ones. Thank you for sharing your videos. They are educational and inspirational.

Martijn, your filmography is spectacular and keeps me coming back to your channel. The mountains in the first shot take my breath away. You are so fortunate for having found a section on earth so beautiful. I hope the birds will come to visit your new perch for them.

Living in rural areas you do take notice of the changes of the seasons much more, at least I do. “As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can".” ― John Muir

Living in the nature away from the city has a different pleasure and acceptance to life as it is, my fear of the unknown vanished once I started living in the nature

Spring in the Alps, the new cycle begins, wonderful! Maybe plant a pumpkin? It's fun to watch it grow, it's like an explosion. Good to store, good to grill, fry it in a pan for paddies with onions, egg and parmensan. Or caramelise with sugar. The shell is a good addition for the chickens, they need something to peck at, even in autumn and winter when there are too few insects.

I would suggest putting black oil sunflower seeds in your bird feeder. That is a universal favorite. I am looking forward to seeing the birds around your home! Love hearing them sing!
