I really like the way you talk to the camera but you don’t gabble on for hours, you tell us what we need to know and show us the rest! This is why yours is my favourite channel ❤
Gosh that staircase is going to be stunning, based on your drawing! Can't wait to see you spend your first night in that room, with the fire going and the ambiance and flickering shadows on the magnificent stone walls.. You're living the dream that so many of us wished that we could have set our pathway towards, Martijn.. and it's such a privilege to have you allow us to come along for the ride! Thank you!!
Yes, his drawings are indeed stunning...but I was looking at the drawing, then looking at the shots of the actual wall and stove/stair area...looks like he may have been a little too optimistic of the width of the area in the drawing...looks like in practice, the stairs will have to be fairly steep, and only room for one of the firewood storage areas due to the room being so narrow...@@Theguys1
I guess that’s the beauty of these videos. We all yearn to see him see spend his first night at the cabin but at the same time doesn’t wanna see it end so fast. Nice to see how slow and calm his work is. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
@@prillewitz It depends on what program you use. You can switch on reduce back ground noise or turn down the main volume on that clip if you need more.
Yeah, sound of power tools really bothers me, I'm skipping those parts normally. Even now it is a bit too loud for my taste. But it is definitely better now than last year.
Martijn, you might not realize how important your channel is to many of us. War in Ukraine, Israel, child predators, the economy. Our week is so full of this. Then comes Sunday and I watch you building and planting. Bringing your cabin back to life. Calms the soul and brightens my world. Refills my reservoir of hope. Thank you.
Martin. Good morning. A real treat watching u build your home. What a wonderful job u are doing. A man that can do it all and u are so relaxed. Your knowledge is unbelievable and your skills are amazing. Keep up the great work. Lovely.
Would you ever consider carving a stone, with your initials and date. So in 200 years time. They'll be a record of your work. Or maybe a time capsule in the stairs wall. Great program and nice to hear someone that talks. And not another silent video. Keep up the great work
I am finishing a house myself and quite often I find myself impatient because the works are not going as well as i hoped for. Watching your videos rises my motivation and reminds me that its ok that something might take longer. It is fine. Thanks a lot for your videos! Every Sunday I wait for a new episode of your journey with a cup of coffee :) Cheers!
Not sure if the symbolism is intentional but your mood seems on cloud nine with how things are progressing and the shots of your drone flying through those high clouds perhaps visually reflects your inner mood. Your progress is incredible and you should right feel a tremendous sense of pride.
For a guy that has literally biked around the entire Globe, I can definitely see Diety touching Humanity as if Michelangelo were alive Today and had a piece of a mountainside as a canvas.
@@fitnesslk Pride refers to running your own program in opposition to Gods, much like your comment apart from context. #ForINeverKnewYou #WithoutLoveSoundingGong
Pride in the sense of "fierté" isn't a sin at all, it is a very positive emotion and in many cases itt's even a duty towards yourself or towards an other person.@@fitnesslk. Only "pride" in the sense of "orgueil" is a sin. I'm sorry, the english language has a single word to describe two different things. And religious proselytism is very strange here in this comment section.
This is what a polymath looks like everyone. A modern day artist, architect, builder, craftsman, philosopher, intellectual. This is what humanity looks like when governments, corporations and international banks are not part of the equation. The human being that is care taker of the earth and not thief. The human being that is pursuing life not retirement. The human being that is about relationships and kindness over wealth and pursuit of luxury. This is why the viewer is brought to peace...because this is how we should be living; simple human lives not as slaves to the whims and needs of tyrants and murder cults, but instead able to express our creativity and enjoy the work of our hands and the simple abundance it provides us. thanks Martijn, it's not your lifestyle that inspires me, it's your willingness to expose me to a life free of the fear of the cult-ural norms that turn us into slaves to the beast. Hope your channel survives for years to come and that you remain energetic to communicating your journey, no matter where it leads.
Martijn, my husband is temporarily bed bound and we so look forward to your videos every Sunday after we watch the streaming service from our church. You are such a good craftsman and you’re doing an amazing job on the project. I especially admire how honest you are when you make a mistake and explain to us what you did wrong and what you learned. God bless you. You are our favorite TH-cam channel. 💕 keep up the good work.
What I learned from you is to be patient, never settle for less and think things through before acting on it. Whenever a tedious task comes up and I my instinct is to rush through it, I think of your infinite patience and my squirly mind settles instantly. So thank you for that.
The wooden windows are beautiful. You made a very good choice to use old seasoned wood. Looking forward to seeing a completed fireplace. It is taking shape nicely. Your craftsmanship is excellent and sets a very standard for other dyi’ers.
Coming from The mountain of Grants Pass, Oregon, U.S., all I can say is we're both lucky to be surrounded by the Beauty of Gods Creation. Some people feel the need to destroy it in greed and no moral code and some of us spend our life adding to it's beauty so our children, in hope, will love it and treat is as though they built it themselves. Thanks for sharing with us, it's truly a joy to be a part of it!
Morning everyone. You are making amazing progress. Looking forward to the stove working and bringing warmth into the building. The white chicken seems to have picked up 🙏😎
So glad the white chicken seems to be healthy again! I’ve been watching from the beginning and look forward to your videos every week. It’s the first thing I look for on a Sunday morning. I’m impressed with all you’ve done and this stove and stairway are going to be stunning as well!
Thank you, Martijn, for the beautiful shots of clouds and fog over the mountains. Once again I was surprised by your professional stove installation skills. I am 100 percent sure that it will be even better than in the sketch. And when the sun appears from behind the clouds, everyone’s soul is happier. Good luck to you next week.
Those mountain shots are just cinematic. They belong in the beginning of a movie. Honestly breath taking. You are a creative soul and everything you do is quality and it's also aesthetically pleasing as well. All the reasons I love this channel. The cabin is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see the finished product.
I really look forward to your Sunday videos Martijn! Your content is among the very best on TH-cam and my favorite. Your work ethic is superb and everything you do is exquisitely well done. You feature the perfect amount of verbal explanation and allow the video explain the rest. I truly do love how patient you are in your work. You never rush it to just “get a roof over your head,” but are diligent, thoughtful and exacting. I admire you! Thank you!
Ginny Simpson, you said it so eloquently. I think we all feel the same watching these post of cabin bldg to what not. We need the escape. thank you from Missouri USA
You might want to incorporate a small wind generator power production system. It might help offset the lack of sunlight. The stove is really unique design . I Enjoy watching your videos very much.
Another wonderful episode. Thank you for treating us like your family. The updates every week are such a respite from the busyness and the calamities of the world ,,and to sit and watch you for an hour or so is restful and inspiring.
The care and planning for your buildings is also evident in the care you take in producing your videos. You pay great attention to the balance of showing the progress of the cabin with your reverence for nature. Your sound levels are spot on, as is the music. Thank you again for sharing.
When you live in the clouds , ☁️🌦️it must be hard keeping your feet on the ground ? You show us how down to earth you are . The fire furnace is incredible . 🔥Thanks for another wonder video of the place you live .
We recently returned from Italy back to Canada. What a great country that you’ve chosen to live in. As we flew over the mountains in the north, I imagined Martijn hiking below. Thank you for making my Sunday mornings special.
Martijn, your attention to detail is wonderful. Most people would've made a rudimentary drawing to explain how the stove will work. You're drawing should be framed and hung on the wall when this project is said and done. Have a great week.
Thank you . This lifted my gloom today and now I feel hope and enthusiasm for life. My visits the you and your Alps is a wonderful lift up. Many blessings and good health. To you.❤🙏
Love the efficient use of space you're achieving with the staircase incorporated into the fireplace. Not only going to look great, but even have space for the water tank.👍
once again, loved the chickens. Love how the one was right on your heels once you let them out. Thanks for showing them a bit every week. Stove is really awesome! I also love watching you cook
Things are coming together! Stove, windows/doors, you will have a staircase…after much work… but you are not scared or deterred by work! Even when house(s) is(are)completed, I don’t see you as the type to sit around. I think you will always be making something or going here and there! With the staircase and the building in of the oven etc… that place is going to be gorgeous! Take care of yourself!❤️🙏🏼😎👋🏻Ontario, Canada🇨🇦
This was one of the most exciting recent episodes. I suspect it’s because of seeing the stove coming to life as the season changes and heat becomes important. Maybe it’s because like any large project work begins to narrow down into specifics and it’s easier to feel where the finish line might be. Whatever the reason, thank you for this Zen moment in my week. It’s essential to find a soul refresher if we are to hold onto hope in this troubled world. Thank you, Martjin.
@mustardseeds7602 Ta. Like you, I’ve watched all the videos of his bike trips, his grandfather, and dear Johannes. All together an extraordinarily complete picture of a very good human being, his evolution and his talent for living. I think of how many in this troubled world need and would find joy joining the rest of us following Martjin. Someone commented several weeks ago that he just had a beautiful hour in his life “watching paint dry.“ It makes me smile every time.
I can see that you are heading towards the finish line--such a major step with the stove in and the windows being put in. It must give you great pleasure because it certainly does us! I can see you sitting there with the fire crackling and a light on while you are reading, with a winter storm raging outside and you are all warm and cozy. I hope you still make the videos even when the project with the house is finished and you are living the life of your dreams--and everything is not so difficult. We want to continue to see you improve your property. That will be especially rewarding when you have your "home base" finished. You are such a master craftsman and do such beautiful work. Your home itself will be an artpiece. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Blessings from the Lord--
Good morning from sunny Colorado! The leaves are turning color here, but it's still warm and dry during the day. I envy a bit of your rain. We could certainly use some moisture. I hope you get your chimney/fireplace finished before the first snow. It would be nice to move into the house with some creature comforts although your tent seems to be far better than most. Still, anything the winds won't blow down has to be a plus. Hestia seems to have recovered too. Hooray!
I have to say, when I stumbled on Martjin I thought "he doesn't talk much". The beauty you share of your artistry, your love of your home bringing it back to originality but with the love of nature and sources from Mother Earth. The love of cooking, the beautiful landscape you share the joy of friends and family and you are share this journey with all of us. You are an artist a creator and I so enjoy following you. Will be in there time snow fall?
1:14. The frame reveals Mr. Handsome and an example of fall inspired analogous and complimentary color schemes while he is just focusing on his masonry stove. Priceless.
too much butt. Love the drone.. love his enthusiasm, love all, but Martijn places cam cord behind... and ya cannot see what he's doin. Get me? It's just a "behind" video. I'd like to see his hands-at-work.😊😊😊
Oh, Martijn! The design of the masonry stove on that wall is amazing! I can’t wait to see your finished project! I love each of your Sunday morning video posts! Stay well and warm!!
What I like is you take time to be and enjoy the environment so it doesn’t matter how long the renovation takes as it is all part of your life. Also not as stressful as when you were in that storm in the desert and having to resort to alcohol to get through the night !!
Once again my Sunday morning is spent with Martijn… love the progress and the heating unit is impressive.. love watching the quietness that surrounds you. I think a majority of us would love to live in the quiet beauty of nature as you do.. quality work quality man.. thanks for sharing
its these drawings I admire, not because of the artistic form, but of the time he invests in these. to have the calm and quite of mind to make these instead of a rough sketch is awesome
The stove looks great! You're going to be nice and cozy when it's cold outside this winter. Way different from that first winter when you had to build a cabin inside the cabin to keep from freezing! I'm glad to see the white chicken is okay. They're so funny and cute, the way they follow you around. And the noise they make when they see you come outside! Do you have names for them?
This man's YT career has been nothing less but stellar so far and he deserves every single sub. YT ist gonna be all psyched up when he reaches 1.000.000 subs. Which is gonna happen soon.
I was watching one of your videos from august this week, and if you put them together, the transformation of the house and landscape in just a few weeks is astonishing! Your calm manner and filming style may trick us into thinking it goes quite slow, but that isn't the case at all! I was very curious how the stone facade was going to stay up, as the carton layer doesn't seem to give it a lot to hold on to. But I'm guessing that as it is quite a thick layer, it should be able to hold itself? The interstacked corners will probably help a lot there, to provide rigidity.
Hi Martjin, you put the stones in the water. I understand why. But the stones are also very moist inside. Be very careful when heating up the fireplace. The water in the stones evaporates and the stones explode! You therefore only have to heat the fireplace a little several times so that the stones slowly dry. All the best, Mark
Looking fantastic Martijn - the stove installation has been epic, I've lived in old Berlin apartments with massive stoves and they were beautifully constructed and tiled, but I never really understood the complexity of them as expanding and shrinking, hot and cold, living breathing systems, fantastic to see it constructed.
Brother, your program is one that I HAVE to be sitting and watching... can't take my eyes away for a minute, lest I miss a gem❣️ Thanks, and Blessings 🫶🏼
Your videos are the favorite part of my Sunday. Very relaxing and beautiful to watch. I love slowly watching the progress unfold, and I’m really glad the white chicken seems to be doing well ❤. Take care and have a great week.
I'm watching each episode every week, but this one for some reason I liked even more. I'm at peace that all the openings of this building will be finished soon.
Such a keen and discerning eye for design and details. The calm and strength of will and character shows in your art of story telling and cinematic style! One of my top 3 favs since the start of Pandemic.
You can see you've done all the research and have it all ready to implement, there is so much going on in that first part of the build. Already looks amazing.👍
Clouds are way cooler than the smoke that will eventually come from your stove, but both are necessary and warm the heart. Beautiful video Martijn. Bless bless
I've missed a lot of episodes due to military service, but it's great to see that the progress in 3 months has been huge! Keep up the hard work and wishing you best of luck! ❤
This is starting to feel like the home stretch! Will the cardboard be removed at some stage to leave the air gap? That drone really gets some great shots - the operator helps a bit.
That cardboard will insulate to much, and will impede a lot of heat reflecting into the room. That is not a good idea in my opinion. The gap could be constructed free hand. Just my thoughts preventing you of a mistake 😉
Martin, now that we have caught up, I look forward to Sunday to see your weekly video. Love the beautiful restoration of this stone house. Thank you for sharing 👌💚👌
Cant wait for the stove and stairs to be finished and windows in. At least then you have warm dry work place to crack on with. The detail youve put in shows quality. You should be proud of how much youve done at such a high standard. In one word. " perfection".
Hoi Martijn, Wederom een top video geproduceerd. Ik zie je vaak stenen slijpen en werken met cement zonder de juiste adem bescherming, de stof die hierbij vrijkomt is echt slecht voor de gezondheid. Tip, schaf een goed adembescherming aan, wees zuinig op de gezondheid.
I do find your Chanel so very interesting…I love the way you explain exactly what you are doing…the stove is going to be very beautiful…the work you have put into it shows in the craftsmanship….it was fascinating to watch the bricks absorbing the water and watching the air bubbles coming to the surface.. I never want the video to end and I’m sure I’m not the only one ….❤
Love the sound of Rain beating down your makeshift. A wonderful way to start my Sundays now in my old age. This gets me prepared for all the derogatory news and uncertainty of our World to hit Broadcasts, Media this upcoming week.Thank you for brief respite.
Martijn, there aren't words to express the beauty of your channel and the values behind what we see. Thank you. All love back to you, this human that never stops from taking the steps to make dreams come true.❤
What a week, your stove is going to look absolutely beautiful, I had no idea it would be so beautiful. Good progress again this week and can't wait to see what next week brings us. Well done Martijn, you're doing a great job and love and look forward to your informative videos each week.
I really like the way you talk to the camera but you don’t gabble on for hours, you tell us what we need to know and show us the rest! This is why yours is my favourite channel ❤
You just can't see him telling us to 'smash the like button' can you.
yeah, a little different from the outdoor boys 🤣
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 perfect comment
My favrote Channel too!
Agreed. I had to stop watching one of the Chateau you tubes because of just the plain silliness of the whole thing. Let's just see the work...
Gosh that staircase is going to be stunning, based on your drawing! Can't wait to see you spend your first night in that room, with the fire going and the ambiance and flickering shadows on the magnificent stone walls.. You're living the dream that so many of us wished that we could have set our pathway towards, Martijn.. and it's such a privilege to have you allow us to come along for the ride! Thank you!!
The drawing is stunning.
Yes, his drawings are indeed stunning...but I was looking at the drawing, then looking at the shots of the actual wall and stove/stair area...looks like he may have been a little too optimistic of the width of the area in the drawing...looks like in practice, the stairs will have to be fairly steep, and only room for one of the firewood storage areas due to the room being so narrow...@@Theguys1

True, at the same time kind of sad that so many people are trapped in their own life and can only watch someone fulltime his potential.

@@Krushardbet you are fun at parties when you decide to crawl out of your basement.
Global warming, mercury poisoning…
The sound of rain falling is especially relaxing… as long as it’s not running down my neck!
That rainy/foggy night scene and the drone shots at the end were magnificent.
Would you ever consider carving a stone, with your initials and date. So in 200 years time. They'll be a record of your work. Or maybe a time capsule in the stairs wall.

This is what a polymath looks like everyone. A modern day artist, architect, builder, craftsman, philosopher, intellectual. This is what humanity looks like when governments, corporations and international banks are not part of the equation. The human being that is care taker of the earth and not thief.

She made it! The white chicken. Thanks for making me smile by liking the worsening weather :) Corka, bonza. Breathtaking outro - thank you.

not to minimize Martijn's videomaking skills which are great, but almost every corner of the Alps is this good
Those mountain shots somehow always remind me of Peter Jacksons Middle-earth.
I liked the drawing of the fireplace. the added touch of the drop of wine was appreciated.
I have to say, I love how the chickens follow you around. They love you LOL. It's adorable!
I really am going to like your masonry stove. Can’t wait to see a fire in it and bread and an apple pie come out of the oven.

Perhaps a smaller windmill that didn't stand out like a sore thumb... wonder if Martijn could design one himself? ...or some artist friend of his.

Another wonderful episode. Thank you for treating us like your family. The updates every week are such a respite from the busyness and the calamities of the world ,,and to sit and watch you for an hour or so is restful and inspiring.
So much wood poetry. Still can't get over the loss of that chicken. I'm glad the white one fully recovered.

I can see you sitting there with the fire crackling and a light on while you are reading, with a winter storm raging outside and you are all warm and cozy. I hope you still make the videos even when the project with the house is finished and you are living the life of your dreams--and everything is not so difficult. We want to continue to see you improve your property. That will be especially rewarding when you have your "home base" finished. You are such a master craftsman and do such beautiful work. Your home itself will be an artpiece. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Blessings from the Lord--
Good morning from sunny Colorado! The leaves are turning color here, but it's still warm and dry during the day. I envy a bit of your rain. We could certainly use some moisture.
I hope you get your chimney/fireplace finished before the first snow. It would be nice to move into the house with some creature comforts although your tent seems to be far better than most. Still, anything the winds won't blow down has to be a plus. Hestia seems to have recovered too. Hooray!
The window frames are beautiful, Martijn!
I have to say, when I stumbled on Martjin I thought "he doesn't talk much". The beauty you share of your artistry, your love of your home bringing it back to originality but with the love of nature and sources from Mother Earth. The love of cooking, the beautiful landscape you share the joy of friends and family and you are share this journey with all of us. You are an artist a creator and I so enjoy following you. Will be in there time snow fall?
1:14. The frame reveals Mr. Handsome and an example of fall inspired analogous and complimentary color schemes while he is just focusing on his masonry stove. Priceless.
too much butt. Love the drone.. love his enthusiasm, love all, but Martijn places cam cord behind... and ya cannot see what he's doin. Get me? It's just a "behind" video. I'd like to see his hands-at-work.😊😊😊
This whole place is gonna be one big piece of art. Priceless.
Martin, you have golden hands❤
Oh, Martijn! The design of the masonry stove on that wall is amazing! I can’t wait to see your finished project! I love each of your Sunday morning video posts! Stay well and warm!!
Great ending with clouds, and glad to see the white chicken made it. Slow and steady gets to the finish line.
Martijn, your pacing, production, music, feel, content, they are just of the highest level they really are. Bedankt.
not to mention his perfect carbonara!
You continue to amaze me with your head in the clouds and your feet firmly planted on the ground! AWESOME man! 💓💓
I love storms too 😊 hunkering down inside with some candles, good food and music
What I like is you take time to be and enjoy the environment so it doesn’t matter how long the renovation takes as it is all part of your life. Also not as stressful as when you were in that storm in the desert and having to resort to alcohol to get through the night !!
Once again my Sunday morning is spent with Martijn… love the progress and the heating unit is impressive.. love watching the quietness that surrounds you. I think a majority of us would love to live in the quiet beauty of nature as you do.. quality work quality man.. thanks for sharing
its these drawings I admire, not because of the artistic form, but of the time he invests in these. to have the calm and quite of mind to make these instead of a rough sketch is awesome
Yes. They remind me of architectural drawings from the Renaissance
The stove looks great! You're going to be nice and cozy when it's cold outside this winter. Way different from that first winter when you had to build a cabin inside the cabin to keep from freezing! I'm glad to see the white chicken is okay. They're so funny and cute, the way they follow you around. And the noise they make when they see you come outside! Do you have names for them?
This man's YT career has been nothing less but stellar so far and he deserves every single sub. YT ist gonna be all psyched up when he reaches 1.000.000 subs. Which is gonna happen soon.
Fijn om te zien dat de witte kip weer happy rondloopt ❤🐔
Thank you for giving us the vibe of the positivity so needed in this world.
It is always a sad moment, when your weekly video is over :)
This is the best "show" on TH-cam for a long time :-)
Should say the stove is looking more than nice, it’s amazing!
Oh now we understand why you put the stove off centre to facilitate a staircase. Can’t wait to see it all….fun !
I was watching one of your videos from august this week, and if you put them together, the transformation of the house and landscape in just a few weeks is astonishing! Your calm manner and filming style may trick us into thinking it goes quite slow, but that isn't the case at all!
I was very curious how the stone facade was going to stay up, as the carton layer doesn't seem to give it a lot to hold on to. But I'm guessing that as it is quite a thick layer, it should be able to hold itself? The interstacked corners will probably help a lot there, to provide rigidity.
Hi Martjin, you put the stones in the water. I understand why. But the stones are also very moist inside. Be very careful when heating up the fireplace. The water in the stones evaporates and the stones explode! You therefore only have to heat the fireplace a little several times so that the stones slowly dry.
All the best, Mark
Those overhead shots above the clouds are breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for the whole program it is so full of interest.
You are almost living on the cloud nine!!! Mesmerizing...☁🌧🌥
Guten Morgen from Stoccarda Martijn. It's coming together nicely. The concept drawing is amazing, can't wait to see it finished.🤙😎🖖
Dear Martijn, well done!
Dear Mathias in Sweden, if you read this, a big hug from Italy!😉
Looking fantastic Martijn - the stove installation has been epic, I've lived in old Berlin apartments with massive stoves and they were beautifully constructed and tiled, but I never really understood the complexity of them as expanding and shrinking, hot and cold, living breathing systems, fantastic to see it constructed.
Brother, your program is one that I HAVE to be sitting and watching... can't take my eyes away for a minute, lest I miss a gem❣️
Thanks, and Blessings 🫶🏼
Your videos are the favorite part of my Sunday. Very relaxing and beautiful to watch. I love slowly watching the progress unfold, and I’m really glad the white chicken seems to be doing well ❤. Take care and have a great week.
I'm watching each episode every week, but this one for some reason I liked even more. I'm at peace that all the openings of this building will be finished soon.
Your house and countryside is absolutely beautiful.
Such a keen and discerning eye for design and details. The calm and strength of will and character shows in your art of story telling and cinematic style! One of my top 3 favs since the start of Pandemic.
You can see you've done all the research and have it all ready to implement, there is so much going on in that first part of the build. Already looks amazing.👍
Clouds are way cooler than the smoke that will eventually come from your stove, but both are necessary and warm the heart. Beautiful video Martijn. Bless bless
I've missed a lot of episodes due to military service, but it's great to see that the progress in 3 months has been huge! Keep up the hard work and wishing you best of luck! ❤
Thanks for your service.
You are in for a treat of binge watching! Enjoy the ride.
Martijn, another great video. You progress is amazing, and inspiring. I look forward each week. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is starting to feel like the home stretch! Will the cardboard be removed at some stage to leave the air gap? That drone really gets some great shots - the operator helps a bit.
That's what I was wondering too...the cardboard staying or going?
He said last week it'll disintegrate along with the tape
I was wondering about that and the danger of having flammable materials so close to the heat source.
I think it will burn away when the stove gets hot.
That cardboard will insulate to much, and will impede a lot of heat reflecting into the room.
That is not a good idea in my opinion. The gap could be constructed free hand. Just my thoughts preventing you of a mistake 😉
Martin, now that we have caught up, I look forward to Sunday to see your weekly video. Love the beautiful restoration of this stone house. Thank you for sharing 👌💚👌
Beautiful shots and hard working as ever Martijn. The last section was stunning really. Have a great week.
Sunday ritual- coffee, dog, couch, blanket, and watching the best content on TH-cam.
Cant wait for the stove and stairs to be finished and windows in.
At least then you have warm dry work place to crack on with. The detail youve put in shows quality.
You should be proud of how much youve done at such a high standard.
In one word. " perfection".
In this crazy world it is good to find a little bit of paradise
Hoi Martijn, Wederom een top video geproduceerd. Ik zie je vaak stenen slijpen en werken met cement zonder de juiste adem bescherming, de stof die hierbij vrijkomt is echt slecht voor de gezondheid. Tip, schaf een goed adembescherming aan, wees zuinig op de gezondheid.
The aerial shots you provide truly bring the world’s beauty into perspective.❤
I do find your Chanel so very interesting…I love the way you explain exactly what you are doing…the stove is going to be very beautiful…the work you have put into it shows in the craftsmanship….it was fascinating to watch the bricks absorbing the water and watching the air bubbles coming to the surface.. I never want the video to end and I’m sure I’m not the only one ….❤
Love the sound of Rain beating down your makeshift. A wonderful way to start my Sundays now in my old age. This gets me prepared for all the derogatory news and uncertainty of our World to hit Broadcasts, Media this upcoming week.Thank you for brief respite.
Martijn, there aren't words to express the beauty of your channel and the values behind what we see. Thank you. All love back to you, this human that never stops from taking the steps to make dreams come true.❤
@mustardseeds7602 impressive authentic human being indeed
What a week, your stove is going to look absolutely beautiful, I had no idea it would be so beautiful. Good progress again this week and can't wait to see what next week brings us. Well done Martijn, you're doing a great job and love and look forward to your informative videos each week.
