#90 Copper Chimney, Half a Stairway, Autumn Storms, Chestnuts and Glühwein

The weather is disruptive this week with a mix of storms, heavy rain and autumn sunshine. I'm cutting and hammering stones for the stairway. Ollie and his sister Isabel are visiting for a few days and giving a hand. Johannes invites us for winter meal at his cabin.

Thank you Martijn for all your weekly shares. I am also a fan of your chickens, they make me laugh every time. When they are taking sand baths for example...or following you wherever you go. Their tea-time talk chattering. Their joyful cackling when you arrive to the coop for feeding them. Or today: the red chicken looking through the little window to watch you inside the house. Just cuteness and beauty overload! 😃

[@vitiviti6548]

Yes! And i was happy to see all 3 of them :))

I love the contrast of the grass and copper chimney against the stone, looks super.

Me too. Was wondering about a coating on the copper to lock in the colour but then liked the patina on the downpipes from the gutter...

You're doing a great job in more ways than one.

[@boa1793]

Richard, I’m pretty sure that watching all the ads (I turn down the volume and wander elsewhere) and watch it through to the end gives home a little bit of money, too.

[@7pdude]

@@boa1793 true. ads help to get some money in especially if you don't run product placements which Martijn rarely does. the worst viewers can do is start a video, watch a bit, then quit. the algorithm presumes the content is trash and will stop spreading, i.e. suggesting it to other like-minded viewers.

[@RonsRoutes]

@@boa1793Martijn doesn't get any profit out of the ads. Google does. I have a paid Premium account. That way I doesn't get bothered by ads. And I need to have the account for my own channel. That too. :-))

[@pegsbarton6353]

@@7pdude I didn't know that, about the algorithm. I do watch Martijns ad breaks because its all I can do to help his channel. That and reminding people to press the 'like' button, which so many people forget to do. He gets so many views but very few people remember to press the button.

[@7pdude]

@@pegsbarton6353 in the end, it all boils down to max view time. youtube wants the users to stay as long as possible and to watch as many videos as possible because that brings in the most ads views which are nothing but revenue for youtube. so the algorithm is designed and constantly improved to learn what type of content each users likes best and then find videos with the same / similar content to suggest to the specific user. as a creator you can make sure that the title, hashtags and thumbnail represent what your video is about. don't try to cheat (e.g. title and actual content are not related) since there's a high chance viewers might be disappointed after watching a few minutes and leave. the algorithm then learns viewer expected to see xyz according to title / tags but only watched a small section so chances are the video had no value to the user. whenever the user likes / shares / comments / subscribes and watches the entire video the algorithm learns that it must be high quality content that should be suggested to like-minded users with the same interests.

[@johnl7710]

These videos are an absolute pleasure to watch. No background music just the natural sound of what is happening. and especially not a single high five, yee haw, woo hoos or any other nonsense of that sort. I love it.

[@forthrightnight]

The background music is so well done, most of the time you don't even notice it when it is playing. Try reading while you just listen to the video. You'll hear the music more.

I just recently found this channel. I have spent several hours relaxing and catching up. Love the peace and tranquility felt in the videos. I have learned much just watching the craftsmanship of this project. I do have a question. I thought there was also a rooster. I was curious as to what happened to him. Love the chickens.

20:15 this moment here really shows me how much care and attention you've put into your cottage, how tidy you've made it that even the pile of rocks look like they're not just thrown about, the grass, the organised chopped wood, the guttering, the pavement, the roof of lose! I've watched over 80 of these 97 videos and I will keep watching. It makes me feel like small permanent improvements in my own house can help me crawl out of anxiety and depression. There will always be things to do, but by continuing to do the activities where the reward of their efforts last for years it can seem like the mountain is just that little bit smaller.
