Please, Martijn, wear a mask when creating dust from the walls. We all want you around for a long time... and healthy. Lungs are very precious. Your videos are amazingly beautiful.

The way the chickens gather around you demonstrates clearly that they are happy birds. Most certainly, the one you lost had a good life. As someone who grew up on a farm, the only thing that I can matter of factly say is - that's farming. I say it without any scorn, judgement or aloofness. It's hard. One becomes very attached to animals, but there will always be this continuous cycle of life and death. One is rewarding, the other hurts. On a more positive note, the grass outside of the cabin is growing well and externally, it really is beginning to look like a home. The pointing on the inside is quickly having a similar effect on the inside and it won't be long before the cabin really starts to feel like a home.

I’m sorry that your little hen passed away. The masonry stove design is pure genius. As always, thank you for sharing some of your life with us. You make my life better.

Sometimes chickens become egg bound and get a bit wobbly legged, this can lead to death. - if this happens give them a teaspoon of olive oil administered directly down their beak. We kept a lot of chickens and this is some of the best advice We received.

When I came across your videos I was very pleased now I can relax and watch the creation of a beautiful place to enjoy 10:15 am

This may have been your best video so far. So much heart. There was rest, and sun tans, and progress, the cabin walls look great, the grass looks great. Family (chicken) was missed, bell peppers achieved. A great balance of the things of life. Beautiful music and videography. Thank you again Martijn for allowing us some of your mountain journey.

Walls look good. Cleaning up is the worst part of construction. Nice work!
@caronadams4486
Beautiful music and picturesque video of your holiday by the sea. You are a true artist Martijn. Your chicken had a good life. I am sorry for your loss.

So sorry about the gray chicken. Of course she had a good life! The shot from inside the coop when you were walking up the hill was precious! As soon as they noticed you walking up, they all ran to that side of the coop, so excited to see you! I was (literally) laughing out loud, imagining what they were thinking ... "Oh look! Here he comes! And he has something new for us! What could it be?" It didn't take them long to figure out it had food in it. :) So yes, she did have a good life, Martjin. As do you! I can hardly wait to see the masonry stove in action. It will keep your whole house warm this winter. (And the dormice, too.)

I love how some green grass around the first cabin transforms it from a building site into a finished natural setting. And it's amazing that summer is more than half gone. Not long ago you were battling deep snow!
@frenchfan1278
Huge respect Martijn. Your videos are like a movie I love to watch every week. Your stoic character is commendable. So sorry about your chicken.

Hi Martijn, it's such a privilege to follow you on your journeys. I also went away for a week and couldn't seem to get back into my projects (albeit much more modest - I'm 77) but I realise since watching your latest video, I was missing my weekly dose of inspiration. One caution, any dust that contains sand, as when you're brushing down the grout, exposes you to the risk of silicosis (a nasty chronic lung disease)if you're breathing it in over time - I'd suggest a mask would be a good idea.
@michaelzwick6335
Martign, I see your doing good ! I live in Phoenix Arizona, my name is Michael. I have been watching you for awhile. It's good video work.
@Vegathlete
Martijn is blessed, as are those who find themselves wholly immersed and moved by this Elysian getaway lifestyle and all its teachings. The chapters gift humanity by transcending chaotic worldliness, offering immense solace on the rest day.
@Se0ulMan63
My wife and I are from Minnesota, where your stove and Red Wing boots are made. We love your episodes! We love the Alps and your place is special! I am 60 years old but can dig and work for hours. I’d love to help you with your landscape walls next summer. Or take care of your chickens next time you go on holiday.
@EricBalcon
I am thinking about all the spirits evolved in the original building of this place, all these men and women who lived around. I am sure they are watching you with great consideration for the work you are doing.
@katejoseph9088
I’m sorry for losing the grey chicken…they now know you, they follow you and when you walk toward the coop they run to you…and no doubt, yes, you do take good care of them…oh btw, Portofino was beautiful…thank you for including a glimpse of your mini vacation 🙏
@giuliociappelli
Hi Martijn! Do not leave so much food available to the chickens because it inevitably attracts rats. It is best to give the right amount of food daily because if the rats discover the supplies then it will be a tough fight to get them out of the coop. 👋
@pagetswiatkowski6660
So sorry about your chicken, Martijn. I know she was dear to you ❤ And yes, she did have a good life! You take care of them well!
