Martijn, you're a constant source of inspiration for us. Sundays just wouldn't be the same without your videos!! 💛

[@stanB950]

It’s so therapeutic to watch

[@boyblunder8889]

Totally agree 👍 it’s my Sunday relax

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

@@wanro027 that too 🤣 thank you

[@andymccabe6712]

Soo ....were they not the same, before he started the channel ...!?!?

[@FRUGALZZZ1]

It’s such a joy observing the progress of Martijn’s work that it’s easy to forget the superb production values of his videos. Seeing Martijn walk into the shot at the top of the mountain, take some breaths, then carry on walking of the care taken to set up each shot, and to take us on the journey with him. The drone shots add size and scale, as they are cut seamlessly into the narrative. All this for a few moments in the video, and demonstrating the care taken. Superb work Martijn - please continue sharing the joy with us.

[@fishlips8336]

Very well said.

[@alisonhobson9875]

You say what I am thinking but you say it much better than I could. I admire all of Martijn's work but today was especially outstanding.

[@lindachenoweth9002]

Amen!

All of Martijn's work has inspired me to do work on my own home and property. Well said @FRUGALZZZ1

[@LibbyHelprin-uy7tg]

Truly, Martin, your KZbin program is the very best show on television in the world! I don’t say that lightly. Your filming, editing, commitment to slowing evolving work under such difficult conditions…. You have my utmost respect and admiration.

[@All.Natural.Dirt.]

He really does deserve some kind of award for this series so far. The visuals, superb audio, pacing, and overall relaxing feeling is so nice!

[@theresacoffman8133]

Agreed. He’s in a league league of his own

[@cathiesullivan]

Amen

[@cathiesullivan]

Most people don't stop to think about what it takes to set up a shot - Martjin is incredibly talented to be able to "see" the outcome before the actual filming/taping takes place. We are blessed to have such talent on KZbin 👏👏👏

[@ellennace8990]

I agree completely, so much talent.

[@tesshiva]

The hike was nothing short of breathtaking. Took a screenshot, because it has to be painted! Loved this video, really loved it. Many Thanks for your efforts to include outsiders in your journey.

[@memmor6637]

I know this is the Alps, but reminded me of much smaller hikes up Snowden in Wales.

[@dianevaness4776]

Wow to be above the clouds has to be a breath taking experience ! The music nailed it. I was in awe!😊

[@AnitaSouthall]

I watch every week and get so much pleasure from seeing the progress 😊

Very nice suggestion Karin , I approve your idea absolutely....😘

[@DragonRose-369]

A Sunday Martijn journey would not be the same without the sound of cowbells. Labour shared brings bigger changes, so thanks for sharing parts of your life with us. We love being witness to it.

[@cathiesullivan]

Yes, the cow bells, they seem to bring us back to reality - I love them too.😊

[@enkamptph]

Gosh, the hike was majestic! You were playing with clouds.

What a stunning video. Its like you live and hike in heaven. Your grass is beautiful and looks like carpet. Stay well. Thank you for taking us along.

[@millywood6801]

Hi there everyone. I just stumbled on this channel a couple of weeks ago. I have now watched all of the building works, it's like a drug I can't stop watching it. Well done to ALL the young lads that have come along to help. The views of the mountains and the night sky are incredible. A BIG thank you from England.

[@traciannveno]

Opening up that floor is just gorgeous. It is like it revealed the beauty. The lime is better regardless.

[@debradavis943]

Another glorious Sunday morning with Martijn. This beautiful and equanimous man continues to mesmerize the lives of half a million people. He has shown us his strength of character by cycling fearlessly through foreign countries for three years, in contradiction to the philosphy that fear can be overcome with big trucks and an arsenal of weapons. He holds us in captivation while he allows us to sneak a peek at his solitary and minimalist life in the Italian Alps, while most of us try to survive in a chaotic and material driven existence. Although he is fortunate to have an advantageous foundation in a progressive country, strong family unit, education and profession, he continues to search for ways to reach out and inspire the lives of others. We love you Martijn !!!

Sunday’s when I was much younger was a day of rest in the USA, until everything changed and the hustle and bustle of the week extended into Sunday. Your channel brings the calm, reflective, inspirational mood back to my Sundays. Your photography, drone shots, filming, editing is nothing short of spectacular. When you were climbing that mountain it was breathtaking and heavenly. The sound of the cowbells adds to the gentle tranquility of your videos. By the way, your grass has grown in to be thick, and so very emerald green and compliments the beautiful stone of the buildings. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@schallb6766]

You climbing up the mountain with the drone circling was awesome. What a shot. It was mesmerizing . Thank You.

[@sharondavis8003]

Hats off to the original builders of these stone cabins. What they put together with fewer tools & manpower takes more modern tools & labor to disassemble. Love these cabins ❤❤👍🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🇺🇸

[@bethcrane5780]

coming up on your second anniversary. It's been quite the journey. You've got a roof mate. Also drainage and a basement floor, chicken coop, septic, and pointed walls. Quite impressive accomplishments. I was holding my breath as you and the fellas were cutting the beams. I bet you were too. It's a beautiful space. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@donnamullins2089]

Opening the floor what a change in light and space. Excited to see stove installation. You had a great hard working crew this week. Thanks to your visitors. OH what a beautiful night sky crowded with so many stars. Just breathtaking. Thanks for the hike and as always the aerial views. See you next week.

Good morning from New Zealand. What a wonderful hike it's so beautiful. Excellent work ethics and thanks to the young men that helped.

[@jacquelineslavich591]

I watch from New Zealand too. Recently I spent 3 weeks hiking in those mountains and the scenery brings it all back. Martin you are an absolute treasure.

[@user-iz1zp2ix7f]

Just when you've seen the best Doolaard episode ever, he shows you the next one. The hike was as inspiring as it was breathtaking in its beauty. For some of us older subscribers, it reminded us of our adventures in the past. I appreciated the banter and company of the young helpers. Thank you, Martijn, for sharing your journey. And blessings to the family of subscribers here. James in Tennessee, USA

[@R-Texas]

@James So very true! I felt this episode was one of the best. I also enjoyed the banter between them and Martijn inserting here and there. We are blessed Martijn shares his journey in life with us. God’s blessings to you. 💚 from Texas

[@bergannon6585]

I agree. I think Martijn is finally allowing himself to get excited about reaching the end of this mammoth project. As much as we all look forward to him moving in, we will miss our Sunday treats. Love from Ireland.

[@AgrippaMarcus]

absolutely true - every one is wonderful - but they seem to just get better

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Your lawn has certainly proved to be successful. I love seeing your chickens. They look so happy. I especially enjoy watching them follow you around while you're working. How marvelous to see the world above the clouds. These pictures bring to mind, "I will lift my eyes up unto the hills from wence commeth my strength." (apologies if I didn't quote that passage perfectly)

[@joetatullijr4292]

I lift my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved He who keeps you will not slumber Behold he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper The LORD is your shade on your right hand The sun shall not strike you by day nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all evil He will keep your life, He will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore Psalm 121

[@sonseenahrayhambrick7683]

Good morning Martijn. The view from the top of that mountain is breathtaking! Man and the beauty of nature. I must say when you opened the floor and we could see up, it shows the beauty of that fantastic ceiling! Thank you for sharing this with us. Sundays are not complete without enjoying your lovely videos with my breakfast. Have a wonderful week.

[@Kimkarlene]

Your mountain walk was beautiful…. Plus the effort it must of taken to move your camera around as you scaled the mountain was extraordinary. The music was also outstanding! It must of felt like standing on top of the world! Thank you for sharing!

Yay for helper’s staying and helping out !

[@EllEss331]

I remember when I first started watching, Martijn had just bought & arrived at the land and I thought, " No way he can live here and turn those buildings around into livable spaces." But, what an amazing job he has done! What a beautiful transformation! The photography of the hike was breathtakingly beautiful!

[@hopeeternal99]

I loved it when that beam came out. So nice & high & letting the light from the skylight in. So beautiful!! I've watched you when you first came to this property and it's wonderful to see all the hard work coming to fruition. God bless you Martijin.

[@erneststevenson3872]

You and your young men helpers did strenuous work. The weekly videos are so packed with interesting developments and truly spectacular photography. Thanks for sharing.

[@mickyp3357]

I loose myself watching these videos every week, for my mental illness it's one of the best therapies and escapes. This one in particular, when on top of the mountain was simply increadible footage and a very moving scene there up above the clouds. An incredible man, vidoegrapher and self made craftsman. An exceptional human being all around.

[@littlefox2324]

All I could think of was how many times did you have to go back and retrieve your camera then climb again. That view was amazing and perfect music to accompany it. Thank you!

The drone shot from the mountain top looked like a movie absolutely brilliant and beautiful ❤. Bravo to the guys who helped 👏

[@enripas75]

Hi Martijn, I was born in Biella, in northern Piedmont, I follow your renovation videos with great pleasure. They convey tranquility and the sense of living with the rhythms of nature, on a human scale. Sometimes I think how nice it would be to live near the sea, but in your videos the vivid beauty of the region I was born shines through. Thank you for reminding me of this in today's busy life. My most special compliments on the adventure you are experiencing. Henry

[@jamielandis4606]

Surely you don’t think those little steel pieces will support those giant beams and floor. Are we missing something?

[@brianboot8623]

I initially thought the same. I’m sure they will be strong enough to support the floor but I’m with you I think something a bit more substantial is needed

So happy you're project is still going so strong. Been here since the very beginning and you still keep on inspiring me :) Keep the good work Martijn!

[@klazyy641]

Super episode! I thought that you on "top of the world" was spectacular but then I thought if that was me, I would have forgotten which side of the mountain I parked my car on and would have descended the WRONG side! Your work on the house was mysterious at first, but then I figured out what it was that you were aiming for----I'm old and SLOW off the mark! Your Sunday episodes start my week off in the right direction----calming and inspiring. Thank you, Martijn. . . .

[@klazyy641]

Drat! All this time I thought I was Patronizing you only to find out (I'm OLD, so no surprise here) I wasn't. Sorry about freeloading on your episodes but I've now made it "right" and am righteously on board as an official Patron, lol.

[@klazyy641]

Drat! Here I thought I was a Patron on your channel only to find out that I was mistaken. No big surprise here since I am older than dirt! I am now officially a Patron and am feeling quite proud of the fact that I finally get to contribute something to your efforts, albeit slightly after the fact. Thanks for all that you do and share with us.

[@garyhome7101]

You've come so far in this project and it has been a remarkable and at times an exciting journey to watch! Thank you for sharing it with us. Just a comment about those beams though: After the install of the the steel carriers, I would suggest some type of columnar vertical support, bottom of beam to the concrete stem wall. Just to be sure the load is secure.

[@desmondtutu7916]

I wondered about this too. He can't expect 8 screws on each steel carrier to support each beam. He engineered everything else so well that he must have more in mind.

[@emiledefelice8780]

I came to say the same thing - the pressure on that piece of steel and the screws is the opposite of what it should be. Maybe its just temporary, hope so. Love your show, hope you read these comments!

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

With cutting those beams, I would be checking the those corners high and low for square. That is a lot of weight on the roof putting pressure on those walls. I mean what’s done is done, but that would make me hella nervous. I would have left the first beam you removed in and built boxes for storage and wall for shelves for books and mementos. I mean you don’t really need a meter wide set of stairs. It’s still very interesting to to observe and follow. I just want you to be safe. Cheers.

It is simply incredible to register such a landscape artist (who films phenomenally). In - for example - four years, a great team of Martijn Doolaard will assemble around the Dutch star: The team goes through absolutely all film material and builds together an unimaginable film adaptation = a small thought that crossed my mind. With an artistic greeting from old Norway (LIKE THIS COMMENT).
