Having the visitor there that brought all those wildflowers together was just something that created such warmth to me. Maybe I am old-fashioned, but the presence of her picking and arranging bouquets really brought a feminine essence that was really nice and made it a home. Lovely video

[@jimbothesailor4217]

Definitely old-fashioned. This, for me, was the most frustrating video so far. I get why people like it, but I just can't be arsed with this gender role nonsense. I've worked in a lot of places similar to this, working on community camps and communes. The women are not there to collect flowers and cook. The men to make bread, move stones and build. This was nothing short of weird. This video has put me off this series.

Hey Martijn, as promised, I am going from Chapter One to the end, with no "peeking ahead" I am on Chapter 24 and you are first starting the Outhouse? Wow, that's pretty hard core brother! You have gained even more of my respect now! Keep up the great work man, you certainly have a great thing going on right now in your life! Looking forward to the future glimpse into your adventure! Just a thought, if you are allowed to do so by law, have you considered putting together a small bee hive, harvesting colony?

[@gwbaker]

Martijn, this is indeed a poetic series. Beautifully told and shared. There are influences in style from Malick and others. The difference here is you are living and weaving the story as well as telling it. No small task. When I think back to the first episode (I was an early convert) to where you are now it's timeless. A perfect flow and cadence. Thank you for that. Bringing new characters in seamlessly enhances the story as well. Bravo from California. I'll be in the area in a couple of weeks. Not sure you'll be receiving visitors, but I'll stop by if stars align.

The first five seconds of this video brought me back to the opening of Malicks masterpiece (on which I wrote a bachelor thesis last year), and suddenly I realized that's what makes me enjoy your video's so much; only for you to confirm the inspiration by Malick in the end. The existential calm, being encapsulated in nature, and finding your way through it, while trying to make it better (not worse). Keep up the beautiful work, and don't hesitate to throw in some Malickesk weird camera-angles in future videos ;)!

Nearly an hour long! Can't wait to watch it in the morning 🇦🇺

[@SunnyCurwenator]

...you're in for a treat 👍🏻

[@BIG_Nick]

Awesome work Martijn. Wonderful to have so many willing helpers who can help. Thank you for sharing

[@ruthbartonico7531]

You are doing a good job for the young people...sharing life's real worth and on the job training for practical work. These are what the young generation misses in our time. Keep up the good work!

This was a very enjoyable episode. It was smart to call for extra help to get things ready for your parents. I think they will be impressed. You mentioned having to get rid of the excavated concrete. If you are pouring a new concrete floor, you could break up the old concrete with a sledge hammer and use the pieces in the new concrete. Then you don't have to haul the old stuff away and you can recycle the pieces into the new floor and you can save a bit of money on new concrete. Just an idea. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

You might also be able to use the rocks to make raised beds or terraces for a larger garden space. Maybe your friend, the priest, could provide some support for such a project.

Nice chemtrails at the Min. 3:18😎😎

@@KoDeMondo seems they are being sprayed all around the world these days...😡

@@Ryan-nb9mn indeed I live in Wastern Australia no much here.. But there is a guy in Italy who is an expert in this matter look rosario Marcianò you will understand why they need to spray

Oh! Do we get to meet the parents??? Thank you for sharing your journey. I'd be honored to meet your parents. I watch your building with complete confidence because I am aware of your support system. It's a joy and a pleasure to watch that system at work.

[@brittawrolson5936]

Wonderful to have such a diverse group of helpers for this week’s big jobs. It all looks amazing, functional, and ready for your parents to use while they visit. I can see why it was fun (and tiring!) great video as always. So enjoyable

[@woodsandcreeks]

Having some help occasionally is good to break monotony. These people have made watching these videos more pleasurable. Can't wait to see how your parents find it next week.

What you are doing for these fine young people is life changing , Thankyou Martijn .

[@Leooel9]

The intercutting contrast between the lively and talkative building of the shitter versus the peaceful collection and management of wildflowers is the perfect encapsulation of why I love this series. So much subtle humour being projected which spits in the face of other sects of the KZbin world. Cheers Martijn for another classic.

[@bowiekt]

Wonderful Martijn, wonderful episode and your bread skills have progressed nicely, lovely knowing somewhere far away, in the Italian Alps there’s a man living his dream precisely as he chooses🌈

[@enlightenedbranch4994]

Really enjoyed this one. Nice to see people from all over bonding and working together each with their own unique gifts and talents

[@treelinktree]

that crack of thunder, after the lightning... the cattle crossing... you planned that, too? Just kidding. Life. It always makes me smile. Thanks for showing a window into Yours. Stay well.

[@lindahyles1331]

Well it certainly was worth waiting for 😀 you are a very good host for visitors and o think you would make an excellent teacher too.. sooo patient with younger folk. You have made a lot of progress and I’m really looking forward to you starting on the roof ! So nice a wee feminine touch with the wild flowers 💐 great video and it will be lovely to have your parents staying 🤗

[@johnchesworth4865]

That was a truly great 57 minutes of pure pleasure Martijn. Delighted you enjoyed the week as well, great progress and great company. Thank you for sharing. Hope the parental visit goes well.

[@barrydouglas8701]

One of the best series online. Better than Netflix by far. Martin you are an inspiration. Love how the different cultures blend so well. What a project. Keep up the amazing work and filming. 🙌

[@UrbanGrrl69]

So much progress on the land and the buildings it’s great to see this, what a spectacular launch of your best loaf yet with that lightning strike!
