I’m not crying … the shot where you are sitting with your parents by the dying fire. It evokes my time camping with my parents and doing the same. They are long gone and I am soon to follow but the memories are strong and beautiful. You give the greatest of gifts sharing your times with family and friend along with your adventure. Treasured moments that join our humanity. Thank you.
@tif6049 Beautiful expressions from your heart. “Treasured moments that join our humanity”, no truer words than those. Precious! May God’s blessings rain down on you.
I agree with her Martijn. I almost gasped when I saw this. Here's an idea: what if you printed it out and made an oil painting to hang in your living room. Just so you can see the image every day..
Så sant. Det är en stor njutning att se varje vecka. Höstens allra bästa färger i denna fantastiska fjällvärld! Familjefriden mm och inte minst musiken som harmonierar så väl. Tusen tack 🤩 och god fortsättning i arbetet med ditt paradis! ❤️💐🎁
As old as we get, there's nothing like having our Parents with us! Your Mom quietly and gracefully took on the task of sewing pockets into your pants. Happy Sunday! ❤❤❤
I see a man who understands the art of life , has a vision with a clear mission but is not bound by time. Sharing what you love to do, in this way, is priceless. Congrats my friend.
Did anyone else see that wolf or shaggy wet dog walk through the video when Martijn walked up through the solar panels and started that generator? I wonder if Martijn's dad smiled when he saw the "new car". Great to have family visit. Enjoy these years.
Yes! I first thought it was a wolf, but after watching several times, I think it must’ve been a husky like mine, just a really well-fed one with a thick winter coat. (How did its owner get it to eat so well? They’re self-metabolizing. Must be the mountain climate.) It was beautiful!
your parents are fabulous. Their work ethhic is yours. I felt they loved being with you up in the mountains, such a setting, day or night, fog or blue skies.
Thank you for sharing time with your parents. They are a favorite when they visit. I am a 70 year old man and I remember spending with my parents. It also helps me think of the time I spend with my children. My father was a pastor as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
The shot of you standing on the rocks over looking the mist is award winning photo. The silhouette of you in your hat and coat. It took my breath away!
I get such a kick out of followers telling Martjin what to do & what not to forget. He’s his own man, his own designer, his own artist, his own writer; his own editor, and this his own channel. 😂 Whatever you choose for the bathroom/sauna will turn out great I’m sure.🧚🏻
It is so nice that you can enjoy working with your father. I envy you. My dad died when I was eight. So while spending time with your parents take a moment and take a mental picture of it and say to yourself I will remember and cherish this moment some day.
Couldn't ask for better guests. What a treat Martijn having them come and do things with you. You are rich beyond words. You carry their love and spirit in you.
I would like to encourage you to do a large painting of your father and your mother standing on the lookout point, and hang it on the wall that has the stairs going down to your room.
I totally agree. He should have a painting of his parents the place where he always goes and look at the views. It makes me think of a sacred place where you’re at peace with the world.
Each Sunday after church, I fix some coffee, something to eat, sit down at my computer, and thank the Lord, while I delight in your channel and my nice hot breakfast. Thank you, Martijn. God bless you and your family, and prosper the work of your hands and hearts (and cameras ; ).
Both my parents were beautiful people. Wonderful parents. They were my guiding light, my north star. Now without those stars, I've been lost ever since. I would give anything for just five minutes with them again....just 5. Martijn, both your parents and you look to be similar. Cherish and hold onto every second you have with them with a fierce determination, and hold them tightly whenever you're able.❤❤
Your Dad is a workhorse!(compliment) Watching the parents just showcases the origin of your excellent work ethics. Mom probably wishes she had lined your pockets with teflon after the hauling screws remark. Thanks AGAIN for sharing your joyous life. Love from Texas❤
Please press that like button folks. We all watch Martijn, and it seems we all share our admiration of him and what he achieves each week, but then forget to press the button...it DOES help the channel, so please support him. Thank you😃👍
Wow I was literally wondering what the opening. Scene would be and mind blown!!! I know y’all have our personal preferences, but I love that bathroom with all the rounded edges and the washing machine over the toilet. It just almost looks like it grew that way lol
I like the third idea that has the rounded stone shower, it's something that one expects to see coming from you. Everything you touch turns to beautiful art.
I think stone walls in the shower will look really beautiful, but I would be concerned about ease of cleaning. The nooks and crevices would trap moisture and make it almost impossible to wipe the walls dry, possibly creating ideal conditions for mould growth. Maybe a few patches of green moss would add a touch of colour? 😃
The aerial footage is simply stunning. Seeing the footage change from week to week doesn’t cease to amaze. Thank you for adding that footage each week! I am a sewist, so seeing your mom working on your trousers spoke to me.❤
Please don't forget to show the table your mother was working on in another episode. My admiration to your folks for raising a son so well. It's great that they can stay active and enjoy helping you. Best regards to all!
As a mother my heart breaks for your mother because I know how much I love to be with my son. You have such a beautiful place and I know she enjoyed being there with you and I know your dad just being a man and doing man things enjoying helping you get things straight was a blessing! Please call them often and just talk to them. It makes the miles apart so much easier. We love you your biggest fans.!!
Martijn you never disappoint! When I believe I’ve seen your best, another best is shared! You have such talent; your videos are mesmerizing and the added music perfection! The autumn visuals you shared this week were so very nice; the wet greenery with 🍂 🍁, the path covered in leaves, the turning of trees on mountains, the clouds. So relaxing! Your parents and you working together is like a dance or symphony. So enjoyable to watch. Your childhood must have been ideal and the love continues, wonderful to see. 😊 I like the shop you’ve designed, I see some special Martijn touches in it. Anxious to see this built from the ground up. You must be so excited to start. Enjoy your week. 💚 from Texas
Für mich ist es das schönste Geschenk, wie diese Familie zusammen arbeitet und die Zeit gestaltet. Ich kenne das so nicht und freue mich von ganzem Herzen darüber.
Thank you Martijn for this wonderful video of your parents' visit. Now I understand where your work ethic comes from. I love the way you work side by side with them without any need for words. It is clear you are totally at peace in one another's company. What a treasure! I liked best seeing your great Mom renew your trouser pockets; I was so reminded of my own Mom, now long gone, who would pick up the slightest hint that I needed some similar repair. You are blessed with such great parents and you honour their traditions and practices magnificently.
Wonderful. Those drone shots just get me every time. Never gets old. I loved the Dinner scenes with your parents...how the light glowed behind the cabin. Well done and thanks for sharing your life!
I know you made a comment about the washer seeming too small, but I can tell you I have a combination washer and dryer on my Sailboat that is that size… Take a look at some Marine products. They really work with Solar/inverter set ups.
When I was young, I used to think that to love beauty was vain and frivolous and shallow. But now I know it is as important as shelter and food and water and air. It is the secret path to happiness and peace. It is in so many things ..... the geraniums in their stone containers, the greenhouse, the potatoes in the ground, the chickens, the curtain under the kitchen sink, the string basses playing while the drone drifts over the treetops, the outlook with the rusty-coloured leaves on the road to it, the beautiful rug on the floor of your main room. And most of all, your beautiful approach to the world .... my heart soars. Thank you for offering this little piece of perfection every week. I am grateful for you. Elizabeth in Vancouver.
Martijn, you’ve got every tool under the sun…please get your mother (and yourself) a decent pair of sewing scissors! Another beautiful episode, I love watching the gentle relationship between you and your parents. Thank you 🙏
Whenever, whatever you share, I appreciate. Your parents and that lovely workfest together remind me of my days with my family. Skills shared like that are at the heart of renewal. Happy for the work you do with everyone who comes, but especially with your family. They are good!
You always bring emotions to the surface with your tender, loving videos. Your parents are wonderful. Your dad helping you cut down trees and your mom finishing the end table and sewing you new pockets. But the scene with you sitting with your parents beside the diminishing fire is what brought tears to my eyes. You are a beautiful storyteller and this one was emotional. I love your plans for the bathroom and the workshop. How wonderful it will be to work on the second cottage after you have a functioning workshop. You are amazingly talented. Stay safe on the ledge that you go to all the time and have a good week. ❤
Those moments of hard work and companionable silence will last you your lifetime Martijn. It's so good that you have a video record of the love. I just love the renderings of the bath area! Over time I've come to appreciate furniture and items NOT rounded for efficiency of space use. But all are beautiful. Your videography of mother nature was spectacular this week. Be safe until next week. We love you!
And maybe a Martijn Doolaard will include the drawings and renderings in his book one day; as well as illustrations like the paintings, With text side boxes, "in time it will look like this", garden notes, diary noting birch stacked . . . And/or 'thoughts', even unrelated to the project at hand.
I enjoy repeating the videos in which your parents visit…they are so helpful. I would love for your mom to give me some sewing and cooking tips.❤ The autumn-colored trees are breathtaking. You just keep plugging away, 1 project at a time…it so inspiring to watch. I have been influenced by your videos. I now have an outside living room, therefore I spend more time outside…I chop veggies to put in my recipes, and love eating boiled eggs and fresh bread with slices of cheese while sitting outside. You are the best….😊 Thank you for the quality of videos you bring to this channel.
I'm so happy for his mom and Dad and it's so nice to see them. It must be beyond wonderful to see the results of raising their boy. It really is award winning parenting. We are all benefiting from their great parenting. I can't express enough what his films do to my souls and my husbands. God bless. Hello mom and Dad from Pepperell, Massachusetts. I am on the border of New Hampshire.
Ah, love the cosiness of this one Martijn…the softness of the grey mist against the orange leaves, the warmth of your hard working focused parents, the beautifully refinished oval table, the renderings of the rounded bathroom next to the warmth of that lovely inserted fireplace under the staircase…Just that taking a shower among the warm stones is ‘almost’ a sauna! Every time your Dad is there he seems to be in communication with the trees….how they are needed to balance the space, grow healthier with the rest of the landscape, yet adding beauty of the birches in a practical yet balanced manner. Love that your Mom creates the new sturdy pockets for her creative son! Do you plan on laying the foundation to the workshop before the snows arrive? Thank you Martijn for sharing this warm slice of progress to the next level!🍁
I love how you allow your parents into your life feeling useful. Your Parents are amazing, and so are you. Such a beautiful place you have, the views, the multi talents….. May God Bless you all❤
I wish the geometra would let you make the basement entrance door taller. We know that they are trying to preserve history and tradition. Your Dad has been such a help!
It’s more than that - it is structural integrity at stake ..to understand build a Lincoln logs with window or door way opening Then go back and just try to only change the height sizing of the opening without changing any other logs 🪵 😮
Always a blessing to receive the gift videos of your life. Warms me heart which helps temper the crying inside my heart that speaks from a place of wanting the same wholeness to fill me as I see in you. Be safe , rest easy. You are loved by everything around you.
It's wonderful that you share your moments with your parents. It's easy to see why you get on with tasks as shown by watching your parents. I just love how you film the beautiful scenery around you in all it's stages. It truly affects my heart and gives me a sense of peace. Wonderful video. ❤❤
Happy Sunday❣️ When you are having dinner and the darkness descends around you, we see the bonfire and the orange light is shining up between the cottages (23:07)..... This scene gives me such a nostalgic feeling that is impossible to explain. It brings back memories of the beauty I have experienced several times in the Norwegian mountains and forests, during my childhood and youth. An amazing peace blended with mystic and an overwhelming feeling of how great life can be. There are these moments in life that you keep and store for the rest of your time. Sometimes you get reminders, like I did today. ❤
Mom at the sewing machine tops it all. I part-time rebuilt my 'mas' in the Ardèche, about 150 km to the west. Just keep going. No deadlines, no stress, never giving up. Being in and with nature gives you inspiration and energy.
Aahhhhh,,the satisfaction of fixing the Makita ! You never give up, Martijn👍🏻👏🏻. So nice having your parents there for a visit and to help with so many things. It is enjoyable sharing the experiences🥰
Getting to spend a part of the sunday evening with you Martijn is my favorite way to relax and recharge for a new work week. A warm cup of tea and a snack goes well with your beautiful images and calm, serene way of life.
I am stunned, as noone mentions the wolf clearly seen trotting across the property around the 30 minute mark whilst Martijn is doing something next to his mini electric hub...
OMG I was literally reading comments to see if I was the only one that saw it!!!! Not finished watching video yet, so I have no idea if he saw it (at the time) LOL It was HUGE, too!!
Every week I can enjoy your video and it reminds me how beautiful our world is. The renderings you have created of your next proposed projects promote anticipation.
Good morning Martijn. So glad you were able to have some wonderful family time. Your parents are remarkable and you are very fortunate to have them. Wonderful visit for us, your viewers. This was a little tribute to the end of fall. Very nice to see some of the ideas of the bathroom. Can’t wait to see how it develops. As usual Martijn, the videos set me up for a great week. Hope your week is productive and may you stay safe.
All your videos are wonderful, some, like this one are more than wonderful -Thank you Martijn and congratulations 743K subscribers now - in this troubled world ,many more will come to know the peace, tranquility and inspiration you give us.
Ik geniet ook heel veel van de video’s volg je ook al heel lang trouw. Mis alleen de Nederlandse ondertiteling 🙈🙈t is al heel lang geleden dat ik van school af kwam dus m’n Engels is ook niet meer zo best🥺🥺🙈🙈
Thanks for the lovely drone shots of the beautiful colorful trees.❤ Martijn needs to wear red shirts more often! It's definitely his color.🤩 Cracked me up after his Mom fixed his pants pocket and he said it can fit lots of screws!!😂😂😂
I cannot believe how quickly autumn has come to visit you. As I have read all the lovely comments and agree with everyone of them, I am glad to be part of this wonderful community and your story. ❤❤❤
Good morning, family. Everyone has jobs, and things are getting done. Your parents are sure in great shape. You're a lucky man for that. Looks like u got some good potatoes. Your cement turned out well, and you sure have a lot of tree work. Keep up the great jobs, and it's moving along well. Have a great week.
Every week I notice how much your weather is like Vancouver, although this week we had more rain than you with some flooding. The trees outside look like yours, the sound of rain is like yours, probably the scent under the trees of leaves starting to decompose is similar. There's even that sensation of water-proof boots on slippery leaves that's only on this season. The experience of life lived in close relation to nature is so precious. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
If you're planing using current stone walls as part of the shower, they will have to be very well sealed other ways stone and concrete will absorb moisture that will encourage mold growth that eventually will create a very unpleasant musty odor through the cabin. Installing a very good ventilation system, taking warm shower water vipers outside, is a big plus. It will very fast pay off, even before you will use it for the first time.
I don't know what else to say 🩵... the second house will be a personalized wonder. the change of season is beautiful, the trees, even the fog, everything is wonderful. Congratulations Martim, you are a spectacle see you next week 🫶
It’s nearly 1 o’clock in the morning here in the eastern states of Australia. I always have to stay up to watch Martijn’s videos. There so good/ entertaining & informative. Bravo. Nice to see your mom & dad visiting again. They must be very proud of all you do Martijn. You have your own part of Paradise there. I love that you are making the property self efficient. You just need a dog, cat & maybe a goat… lol. Thank you for posting once again. Stay well & happy. Cheers Noeline. 🙏👏👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
My parents were a strong, loving force in my life, too. They were always up for participating in whatever was at hand to do.❤ I enjoy seeing yours with you!
What a lovely big bowl of new potatoes! So delicious steamed, with just a little butter, salt, and pepper... yum! The bathroom renderings are all beautiful. No matter which version you decide on, it is going to be such a warm and cozy space. And I can't wait to see what comes next for the workshop. Thanks for sharing your parents visit with us. 🙂
Seeing you and your parents around the campfire for the last evening and seeing you stand alone on the rock ledge watching the valley below was quiet sad. Martijn be careful of standing on that rock ledge while it is wet and cold as you could slip. Take care. Another lovely video. Have a lovely day.
I’m not crying … the shot where you are sitting with your parents by the dying fire. It evokes my time camping with my parents and doing the same. They are long gone and I am soon to follow but the memories are strong and beautiful. You give the greatest of gifts sharing your times with family and friend along with your adventure.

I agree with her Martijn. I almost gasped when I saw this.
Here's an idea: what if you printed it out and made an oil painting to hang in your living room.
Just so you can see the image every day..
That's so sweet
I wonder if your father and Johannes ever meet. They are both such open minded people. It would be wonderful to sit in on a conversation.
And the award for TH-cam aerial photographer of the year, goes too,.............Martijn Doolaard. Congratulations Martijn, well deserved.
Helemaal mee eens. De beelden i.c.m de muziek: fantastisch!
Så sant. Det är en stor njutning att se varje vecka. Höstens allra bästa färger i denna fantastiska fjällvärld!
Familjefriden mm och inte minst musiken som harmonierar så väl. Tusen tack 🤩 och god fortsättning i arbetet med ditt paradis! ❤️💐🎁

Bravo!
Congratulations 😊

It's often also good that parents are far away
If you have loving parents, then yes!
@@Saba15-t9d Yes, I agree.
@@BeyondWrittenWords That's quite often true.
You don't really know that for a fact, do you...?
I see a man who understands the art of life , has a vision with a clear mission but is not bound by time. Sharing what you love to do, in this way, is priceless. Congrats my friend.
so many of us that watch every episode, understand and appreciate exactly what you have commented
I love the shot of Martijn at the viewpoint in the fog. It's like the famous painting by Caspar David Friedrich, 'Wanderer above the Sea of Fog'.
Was just about to post the same thing! Very reminiscent.
I did a screen shot of that view and it's now my wallpaper!
@@shirleycovey7309 Might be the best image of the entire series
The views take me beyond to the pictures of planet earth, the blue marble.
Thought the same thing
So touching to see a man taking time to reflect on the beauty that God has given him . The world needs more men like you.
Amen to that ❤
Did anyone else see that wolf or shaggy wet dog walk through the video when Martijn walked up through the solar panels and started that generator? I wonder if Martijn's dad smiled when he saw the "new car". Great to have family visit. Enjoy these years.
Yes! I first thought it was a wolf, but after watching several times, I think it must’ve been a husky like mine, just a really well-fed one with a thick winter coat. (How did its owner get it to eat so well? They’re self-metabolizing. Must be the mountain climate.) It was beautiful!
Yes i did
29:57 I was wondering about that myself… possibly wolf, but more likely a husky 30:03
Just need to watch the chickens !
As there we see, dogs can still come on to the property
Beautiful video once again ❤️
Didn’t that dog visit 2 or 3 times last year and he said the dog belongs to a house below?
The moment you are with your parents by the fire after dinner, beautiful!
your parents are fabulous. Their work ethhic is yours. I felt they loved being with you up in the mountains, such a setting, day or night, fog or blue skies.
Ja, das empfinde ich auch so💞
And i felt how there they are, together, having shared a lifetime together.
My favorite Sunday evening show.
Awesome having your folks there.
Our favourite too. First thing we watch on Sunday evening. No prattling on by women like on other programmes, and I am a woman I might add.
Thank you Martijn for helping us remember how important it is to enjoy a parent’s company. 🙏
…and I only dreaded parents company… every time spent felt like a prison sentence.
Thank you for sharing time with your parents. They are a favorite when they visit. I am a 70 year old man and I remember spending with my parents. It also helps me think of the time I spend with my children. My father was a pastor as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
The shot of you standing on the rocks over looking the mist is award winning photo. The silhouette of you in your hat and coat. It took my breath away!
It's a very eloquent shot. Speaks volumes.
Silhueta idêntica ao grande... enorme...Fernando Pessoa .
absolutely amazing picture - took my breath away
You've beatifully capture the moment you spent with your parents. So recognizable and pure. Love it.
I get such a kick out of followers telling Martjin what to do & what not to forget.
He’s his own man, his own designer, his own artist, his own writer; his own editor, and this his own channel. 😂
Whatever you choose for the bathroom/sauna will turn out great I’m sure.🧚🏻
Amen! Some people tend to forget this, unfortunately...
The shot at 23:30 reminds me of a painting “wanderer above the sea of fog”. Mystic, melancholic and serene. Cheers from rotterdam

@@janis1981 Thank you. I really appreciate that.🙂
Shower in the corner heated by the masonry stove would be ideal in my mind!
A family of hard workers. You could feel your dads enjoyment through the lens. A pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.

@@LindaSwilley-mz3vo I am not sure of the rounded myself. It seems that everything else is squared off and rounded won’t fit the aesthetic.
Thank you Martijn. Dreaming in a similar Fall weather, here in Seattle. The mists arrive, the leaves changing colors - a magical time.
+1 for the rounded shower, I think it will be so dramatic and it’s the closest design to your inspiration pictures that showed.
How sweet and loving are your parents M. You are fortunate. Thanks for sharing!!
The aerial footage is simply stunning. Seeing the footage change from week to week doesn’t cease to amaze. Thank you for adding that footage each week! I am a sewist, so seeing your mom working on your trousers spoke to me.❤
I also sew, quilt and garden 🇦🇺💜🦘🪡🧵👍
Woman (74) from Denmark. Thank you Martijn. I absolutlty love to watch your videos. I look forward to it every week.
Wow! This episode was packed with beauty, emotion, and anticipation ! Thank you for sharing your journey with us Martijn!
Thank you for sharing another week in your life with us , the scenery and peace that comes from your videos is so beautiful
Please don't forget to show the table your mother was working on in another episode. My admiration to your folks for raising a son so well. It's great that they can stay active and enjoy helping you. Best regards to all!

Showed it at 30:37

Miss being with either of my children but yes my son works FIFO in mining in Australia it's hard to find time when distance is involved.

You made my day- by letting me be a part of your little world in your mountains!!!
Every time in future when you grab into your pants for screws, your beloved mum is with you. So blessed

Whenever, whatever you share, I appreciate. Your parents and that lovely workfest together remind me of my days with my family. Skills shared like that are at the heart of renewal. Happy for the work you do with everyone who comes, but especially with your family. They are good!
You always bring emotions to the surface with your tender, loving videos. Your parents are wonderful. Your dad helping you cut down trees and your mom finishing the end table and sewing you new pockets. But the scene with you sitting with your parents beside the diminishing fire is what brought tears to my eyes. You are a beautiful storyteller and this one was emotional. I love your plans for the bathroom and the workshop. How wonderful it will be to work on the second cottage after you have a functioning workshop. You are amazingly talented. Stay safe on the ledge that you go to all the time and have a good week. ❤
Those moments of hard work and companionable silence will last you your lifetime Martijn. It's so good that you have a video record of the love. I just love the renderings of the bath area! Over time I've come to appreciate furniture and items NOT rounded for efficiency of space use. But all are beautiful. Your videography of mother nature was spectacular this week. Be safe until next week. We love you!
And maybe a Martijn Doolaard will include the drawings and renderings in his book one day; as well as illustrations like the paintings,
With text side boxes, "in time it will look like this", garden notes, diary noting birch stacked . . .
And/or 'thoughts', even unrelated to the project at hand.
Thank you for another wonderful video, Martijn.
Time with those we love is priceless. Your parents are a treasure. Thank you for sharing them with us. This video is enchantingly beautiful.
You, Martign are blessed to have both godly parents. It is so nice to see your father reading the word of God what an example!!!!!
I enjoy repeating the videos in which your parents visit…they are so helpful. I would love for your mom to give me some sewing and cooking tips.❤ The autumn-colored trees are breathtaking. You just keep plugging away, 1 project at a time…it so inspiring to watch. I have been influenced by your videos. I now have an outside living room, therefore I spend more time outside…I chop veggies to put in my recipes, and love eating boiled eggs and fresh bread with slices of cheese while sitting outside. You are the best….😊 Thank you for the quality of videos you bring to this channel.
For sewing tips I can help but cooking 🍳 not so much 😅 I belong to a worldwide quilting community.
I'm so happy for his mom and Dad and it's so nice to see them. It must be beyond wonderful to see the results of raising their boy. It really is award winning parenting. We are all benefiting from their great parenting. I can't express enough what his films do to my souls and my husbands. God bless. Hello mom and Dad from Pepperell, Massachusetts. I am on the border of New Hampshire.
My in laws live mostly in Massachusetts 🇺🇲💚😉🇺🇲
Ah, love the cosiness of this one Martijn…the softness of the grey mist against the orange leaves, the warmth of your hard working focused parents, the beautifully refinished oval table, the renderings of the rounded bathroom next to the warmth of that lovely inserted fireplace under the staircase…Just that taking a shower among the warm stones is ‘almost’ a sauna! Every time your Dad is there he seems to be in communication with the trees….how they are needed to balance the space, grow healthier with the rest of the landscape, yet adding beauty of the birches in a practical yet balanced manner. Love that your Mom creates the new sturdy pockets for her creative son! Do you plan on laying the foundation to the workshop before the snows arrive? Thank you Martijn for sharing this warm slice of progress to the next level!🍁
I love how you allow your parents into your life feeling useful. Your Parents are amazing, and so are you. Such a beautiful place you have, the views, the multi talents….. May God Bless you all❤
I wish the geometra would let you make the basement entrance door taller. We know that they are trying to preserve history and tradition. Your Dad has been such a help!
It’s more than that - it is structural integrity at stake ..to understand build a Lincoln logs with window or door way opening
Then go back and just try to only change the height sizing of the opening without changing any other logs 🪵 😮
Always a blessing to receive the gift videos of your life. Warms me heart which helps temper the crying inside my heart that speaks from a place of wanting the same wholeness to fill me as I see in you. Be safe , rest easy. You are loved by everything around you.
You work hard for all the beauty in your life and are so very fortunate to have the warmth of your family.
It's wonderful that you share your moments with your parents. It's easy to see why you get on with tasks as shown by watching your parents. I just love how you film the beautiful scenery around you in all it's stages. It truly affects my heart and gives me a sense of peace. Wonderful video. ❤❤
Happy Sunday❣️
When you are having dinner and the darkness descends around you, we see the bonfire and the orange light is shining up between the cottages (23:07).....
This scene gives me such a nostalgic feeling that is impossible to explain. It brings back memories of the beauty I have experienced several times in the Norwegian mountains and forests, during my childhood and youth. An amazing peace blended with mystic and an overwhelming feeling of how great life can be. There are these moments in life that you keep and store for the rest of your time. Sometimes you get reminders, like I did today. ❤
Mom at the sewing machine tops it all. I part-time rebuilt my 'mas' in the Ardèche, about 150 km to the west. Just keep going. No deadlines, no stress, never giving up. Being in and with nature gives you inspiration and energy.
I think he said something like 'in time it will look like this'.
A visionary mind proceeds ahead.
Aahhhhh,,the satisfaction of fixing the Makita ! You never give up, Martijn👍🏻👏🏻. So nice having your parents there for a visit and to help with so many things. It is enjoyable sharing the experiences🥰
Getting to spend a part of the sunday evening with you Martijn is my favorite way to relax and recharge for a new work week. A warm cup of tea and a snack goes well with your beautiful images and calm, serene way of life.
The Foto with you on the hill and fog omg ❤ that's a screen saver right there
Honoring your Mother and Father amongst the clouds and colors of Fall is absolutely beautiful and amazing. ty MD
What a great shot of you standing on the rock with your long coat!
I am stunned, as noone mentions the wolf clearly seen trotting across the property around the 30 minute mark whilst Martijn is doing something next to his mini electric hub...
I saw it too ! It sure was trying to keep a low profile !
A wolf!! I thought it was a dog! Good grief! It looked a bit like the dogs the man who make Martijns windows has.
I was just about to say the same. It appears at 29:55 and watches Martijn until it disappears at 30:06.
OMG I was literally reading comments to see if I was the only one that saw it!!!! Not finished watching video yet, so I have no idea if he saw it (at the time) LOL It was HUGE, too!!

I’ve just finished a 13 hour shift at the hospital, thank you Martijn. It was a special video. 😊
Wat een zegen Martijn, dat je je ouders zo kan ontvangen!
Red is a fantastic color on you Martijn
Every week I can enjoy your video and it reminds me how beautiful our world is. The renderings you have created of your next proposed projects promote anticipation.
I love every minute of this saga……The twinkle in your eye and set of jaw tells me there is more to your story than you are telling. Good for you!
😊 maybe 🤔
It’s how memories are made! Zo leuk om jullie samen Nederland te horen praten. Family bonding at it’s best.
Loved seeing yr mom cut pattern pieces out of parchment paper, great improvised use of available materials!
Good morning Martijn. So glad you were able to have some wonderful family time. Your parents are remarkable and you are very fortunate to have them. Wonderful visit for us, your viewers. This was a little tribute to the end of fall. Very nice to see some of the ideas of the bathroom. Can’t wait to see how it develops. As usual Martijn, the videos set me up for a great week. Hope your week is productive and may you stay safe.
All your videos are wonderful, some, like this one are more than wonderful -Thank you Martijn and congratulations 743K subscribers now - in this troubled world ,many more will come to know the peace, tranquility and inspiration you give us.
Oooooooo! YES to the washer in the bathroom. I like the efficient use of the space without sacrificing any aesthetic.
I love the unspoken understanding and respect you have for your parents.
Dank je wel, Martijn. Weer echt genoten; de prachtige herfstkleur, de mist en het rustgevende getik van de regen.....😊
Ik geniet ook heel veel van de video’s volg je ook al heel lang trouw. Mis alleen de Nederlandse ondertiteling 🙈🙈t is al heel lang geleden dat ik van school af kwam dus m’n Engels is ook niet meer zo best🥺🥺🙈🙈
Another beautiful Sunday afternoon in the company of Martijn and his parents ❤️.
23:28 Strong Caspar David Friedrich vibes, love it.
Spot on!
It's a striking scene. Would make a cool print.
it resembles the painting so much i cant believe he didnt do it on purpose
So lekker om te volg wat julle gesels. Groete van Suid-Afrika🇿🇦
Thanks for the lovely drone shots of the beautiful colorful trees.❤ Martijn needs to wear red shirts more often! It's definitely his color.🤩 Cracked me up after his Mom fixed his pants pocket and he said it can fit lots of screws!!😂😂😂
How very sweet for your parents to visit, you can see where you get your strong work ethic from it must be such a joy to have them there….😊
I cannot believe how quickly autumn has come to visit you. As I have read all the lovely comments and agree with everyone of them, I am glad to be part of this wonderful community and your story. ❤❤❤
I love that your parents come to visit and help! You are well loved!
Good morning, family. Everyone has jobs, and things are getting done. Your parents are sure in great shape. You're a lucky man for that. Looks like u got some good potatoes. Your cement turned out well, and you sure have a lot of tree work. Keep up the great jobs, and it's moving along well. Have a great week.
Every week I notice how much your weather is like Vancouver, although this week we had more rain than you with some flooding. The trees outside look like yours, the sound of rain is like yours, probably the scent under the trees of leaves starting to decompose is similar. There's even that sensation of water-proof boots on slippery leaves that's only on this season.
The experience of life lived in close relation to nature is so precious. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I just read on the Dutch news, that there is very bad weather in the north of Italy, with flooding.
@@annekevangaans9403And mudslides, caused by a cyclon.
Another nice week with Parents...and,with your little angels in peace,and quiet !...
Martijn i hope you live the peace you bring us with your expertise of capturing your beautiful homestead and the surrounding beauty.
The stunning autumn colours in your driveway and on the hillsides are so gorgeous ❤
If you're planing using current stone walls as part of the shower, they will have to be very well sealed other ways stone and concrete will absorb moisture that will encourage mold growth that eventually will create a very unpleasant musty odor through the cabin. Installing a very good ventilation system, taking warm shower water vipers outside, is a big plus. It will very fast pay off, even before you will use it for the first time.
Also, a rainfall shower head works real well if you have strong water pressure.
I don't know what else to say 🩵... the second house will be a personalized wonder.
the change of season is beautiful, the trees, even the fog, everything is wonderful.
Congratulations Martim, you are a spectacle
see you next week 🫶
It’s nearly 1 o’clock in the morning here in the eastern states of Australia. I always have to stay up to watch Martijn’s videos. There so good/ entertaining & informative. Bravo. Nice to see your mom & dad visiting again. They must be very proud of all you do Martijn. You have your own part of Paradise there. I love that you are making the property self efficient. You just need a dog, cat & maybe a goat… lol.
Thank you for posting once again. Stay well & happy. Cheers Noeline. 🙏👏👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hier in Deutschland ist es gerade 19.30
Grüße nach Australien und einen guten Tagesbeginn
My parents were a strong, loving force in my life, too. They were always up for participating in whatever was at hand to do.❤ I enjoy seeing yours with you!
i like the idea of 3rd drawing with washing machine toilet etc brilliant
What a lovely big bowl of new potatoes! So delicious steamed, with just a little butter, salt, and pepper... yum! The bathroom renderings are all beautiful. No matter which version you decide on, it is going to be such a warm and cozy space. And I can't wait to see what comes next for the workshop. Thanks for sharing your parents visit with us. 🙂
@@sandandcedar and maybe a bit of rosemary from the garden 🪴?
@@saraf9883 Oh, yes indeed. 👍
Seeing you and your parents around the campfire for the last evening and seeing you stand alone on the rock ledge watching the valley below was quiet sad. Martijn be careful of standing on that rock ledge while it is wet and cold as you could slip. Take care. Another lovely video. Have a lovely day.
