I make a start with the wood panelling for the bedroom. Winter makes a brief return again, covering the fresh foliage in snow. Finally, the tent deck goes to a new home.

He Cooks like a Michelin pastry chef. He has hens that follow him around like friendly dogs. He woodworks like a master carpenter. He draws like an accomplished artist .He generously helps his neighbors and visitors to his time and property. I think I speak for everyone in saying that we all need a neighbor and friend like Martijn...
I’d turn that around and say that we need to be a neighbor and friend like Martijn. 😊
We all could be a little more like him
Martjin is definitely a renascence man. And a good neighbor.
@@PjotrStroganov I stand corrected. Well said.
Facciamolo Santo 😅😅😅
Number 1 channel on KZhead. And never once does he ask for likes or subscribes. Not once in2-3 years. Totally unique. Such qaulity.
And NO advertising for sponsors either, which I REALLY appreciate🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊
And he doesn’t do commercials for sponsors. It’s nice but I guess he has better resources than some KZheadrs. I bet they all wish they had the financial freedom to just produce content without the worry. 😍🇨🇦
Exactly!!! Bless you Martijn!
Good morning ladies...what a gentleman our martijn is!!
What’s the use when only 22k bothered to LIKE . 224k views are too lazy to LIKE.
"I sometimes own a dog... He's freelance." Burst out laughing. What a start to the episode.
Right😂
Came to see this comment 😂🤗😉
Ich dachte, er meint den Besitzer
What are you, 12?
@@BalboaBaggins no, but it seems like you are judging by your YT uploads. I'll assume it's innocent but it probably isn't.
I think I figured out why I like this channel so much; Martijn shares his happiness and it lifts up everyone, chickens puppy dogs and everything.
💯
AND, it’s like every weekend we are invited for a visit ❤❤
I'm also glad he feels a bit more comfortable showing us when things don't go so well, and that he does sometimes get frustrated, it makes it all feel more genuine.
Martin's zen
Lovely Dog as well.
Love the dog. Having the neighbors dog come over to play is like having grandkids, when the fun is over they go home 😊
Just don't eat the chickens!
@lilardsluder1802• 😂😂😂😂
Me too, that dog can sure catch!
A sunday without Martijn Doolards - its like something missing! Have a great coming week in your endless work effort in the Italian Alps ;-)
Indeed! It's such a fabulous escape.
Enjoy so much the sound is on for your videos. The birds, the wind, the sounds of your working, all bring so much pleasure.
This is why this channel is so magical! No endless chatter or loud, distracting music. Just nature, the odd comment, and very quiet, soothing music perfectly times in the background and only when necessary. The sounds of nature are enough. ❤ Fan since Day 1 from Canada ❤❤
I love the sounds of nature, and the hammer striking the nail, the saw buzzing, memories of my Father always working at some project, and teaching as he went along. Thanks Martijn!
@@kvk1960- Me too - everything is so perfect 🇿🇦
@@kvk1960 Well said kvk!!!🎉❤
same so soothing 😶🌫🤤
Cheers ☕️ ☕️ to all watching Martijn ! From Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers mate
🧁☕️
Cheers!
Cheers to you too!
Cheers to you also Stanley! Have a great day everyone!! ❤
The dog is so smart, he knows you need to play sometimes and a bit of company :)
That short segment during the snowstorm was so cinematic it almost brought me to tears! The music, the fading from night to morning with everything covered in snow. It was so beautiful! Martijn really is an artist
A man, his artistic touches, his flowers, and his affinity with his chickens. Memories of special moments making the dream come true take all of us back to those special times, too. Thanks.
Martin Is One in a Million,,,, the world would be a Better Place with more Martins...-.-😂😂
Martijn, in a world that feels so turbulent you are a beacon of steady wisdom. Live simply, consume as little as possible, eat well, be as self-dependent as you can...and the world might just change for the better.
Very well said!
I am a great grandmother and one of my dreams was to visit Italy... that may not happen, but you are giving to me some of the most beautiful views of the Italian Alps and a wonderful wholesome look at life in the Alps. I am very grateful and look forward to visiting with you each week. I believe that God is leading you on this journey and will richly bless you. Thank you for sharing your Journey! respectfully, a USA Subcriber Barbara
Amen ❤
❤
i hope you can save up & go soon!
❣️
Martijn's adventures always make my week better. Martijn and that dog make a winning team. Cheers to all visiting here today.
Thank you

Humorous the reaction of the chickens to the snowy morning. "This sucks! Not going out there."
Oh, the dog! I, too, have a border collie. He lives for his frisbee. Every morning at dawn, he is waiting by the backdoor, frisbee in mouth. His name is Malachi and my one and only true friend.
I, too, had a border collie. Her name was Baby. She traveled over the Rainbow Bridge when she was 15 years and 15 days old in 2005. She was the best friend everyone dreams of having. To say she was smart is an understatement. She was the happiest when she was busy doing and learning. Oh, how I miss her.
J'ai 2 chiens(Petite et Toto) 10 chats(Mao dze Doun,Wits,Kissi kitti,Phelix,Myche, Coco,Rygij,Ma chere,Cara et Tiger) = mes amies+Martin!!!
We also had a border collie that was impossible to tire out lol. If we got tired of throwing the frisbee he would toss it in the sir and catch it himself lol
My border expends much energy in her never ending war against the squirrels. Her name is “Pupita”. She was named by the Guatemalan roofing crew working at my house.
My Border Collie Asti, or Asti girl' is Frisbee champion in our yard
I give 10 points for that respectful greeting: "morning ladies" 👍😊 They are just so cute and I love them. 💞
Martin is a true Renaissance man. A calming pleasure on a Sunday morning. 😊
IF YOU ARE WATCHING AND ENJOYING MARTIJNS VIDEOS, PLEASE HIT THAT LIKE SYMBOL, the very least we can do for his amazing work and content. Thank You ALL !!!
Flowers against the stone are beautiful and make you smile when you see them. I’m sure when you get further along with the property you will plant more. Your baking and carpentry skills are second to none, and yet your talents don’t end there. Photography, videography, stone work, painting, on and on. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey. Sundays wouldn’t be the same without you. xx
I so enjoy your program. WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST❤
A special man who can make so many people happy at the end of every week... God bless you Martin!🙏
I couldn’t possibly live a more different life than what is showing in these videos but I totally 💯 LOVE this Channel I don’t leave comments as there are so many but today I want to say how calming and nurturing to my soul these videos are what an amazing life Mr Martijin has, surrounded by this magical place and the work he is accomplishing.. it is just so Great 🙂👏🏻 .. Thanks so much 😌😊
What a (birthday) gift: learning you worked in a bakery as a teenager. Priceless.
Late season snow is known as “poor man’s fertilizer” because it adds extra nitrogen to the soil. All snow adds nitrogen. Growing up farmers around me loved to see it because it would help the hay in the fields grow better that year.
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that.
My Mom used to say that all the time!
The most amazing thing about Martin's vlogs is that I have never seen his phone. Not only him, but his neighbours or guests whomever he meets. None of them seem to be using a phone.
Hiya 👋 everyone around the world 🌎 Sunday funday ❤with our Martjin😊
MD day sunday :)
Hi. It's as if we're all qith him, a little bit. I crochet a big blanket during his video's. Now find a way to give it.💝🕯🙏
Greetings from Germany Bavaria
@@rehgina9903 Greetings back from Grolsch, Enschede, Netherlands😘
Hello Kim, I thank you and wish you a nice Sunday by the way, we have the same name. Greetings Kim😄
The saddest part of my week is when Martian’s video comes to an end.
Martian?
Auto correct strikes again
Wow, so nice to enjoy something peaceful this morning after all the violent tornadoes here in Nebraska, Iowa,, Kansas, and Oklahoma the past two days! Need to see something like this instead of complete devastation. Thank you for always providing a peaceful, uplifting experience to my Sundays.
So sorry to hear about the horrible weather, glad you're safe.
@kellyschroer2114 I hope everyone you love and know are safe from the destruction of the tornadoes. We live in Florida but are transplants from Omaha Nebraska. Our adult children starting sending us texts about the what was going on. It truly was frightening!.
@@doragray5376 yes unbelievable weather the last couple of days. We were fine where we live, just some light rain. We are in very south central part of the state. We have a son in Omaha too and he said if the tornado that touched done right at Eppley would have come down 5 minutes earlier it would have been right over downtown Omaha where he lives. Sad news coming out of Oklahoma this morning as there were fatalities there. 😢
how come you guys never leave tornado country?....I've always wondered
I saw the devastation on the news, so sad for all of you to experience. Good to see you are OK and could come on to watch the video. Stay well and love thy neighbors as much as you can. Sending ❤
Martijn is an unique person. I am still impressed. God bless son.
I love to hear the forest light up with the birds singing🕊
I wish all chickens had such a happy life as your chickens.
There’s a peace he carries within him.
Martijn that was precious hearing the expression: "kreeg op mijn sodemieter"; I haven't heard that in some 60 years.
brought back memories for me too, lots of sodemieter
Small things like a few flowers in a window box, brings so much pleasure. Crazy weather !
Martijn, loved seeing you play with your neighbour’s dog - you know what we are all going to say next……😍🇨🇦
No, he doesn't need a dog of his own. He needs freedom to go away when he needs to.
@@ivydickson7596 Disagree! What does he do with his chickens when he is away? He has lots of local friends and lots of people travel with their dogs. Too bad you are missing out!
A person doesn't always have to own. He should be able to enjoy the flora and fauna as well as the seasons.❤
@@ivydickson7596 I agree! I can't understand why so many people think EVERYONE needs a dog. I love animals but have no desire to have a dog.
@@SJC49 What exactly is he missing out on? He seems to be doing exactly what he enjoys doing, unlike so many others of us.....
We never start our Sunday without Martian! So you know our difficulty when he’s not here 😂
Martijn I meant! Can neither edit nor delete my comment! Wassup?
It is a real privilege to be observing your lifestyle Martijn...from the small to the big, from the easy to the tough, from the peaceful to the stormy, etc. You are living a quality life and you can honestly be proud about your achievements. Kind regards
Most times I have no clue what he is creating - then the finished masterpiece: magnifico!! Pure enjoyment. ❤
Ive never missed an episode and I think my favorite image is the transition night day snow scene....Perfection. Martijn, you never disappoint. Thank you, and God bless you.
When my father built things, materials were made to last. It saddens me that things made today are so throwaway. I admire that you put so much care into everything you do. You're a true artist.
Watching Martijn is like meditating....I feel nothing but Peace and wonder!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful world.
Truly a man for all seasons.
I love your relationship with your Chickens, and so nice your visiting Dog. Your work is meticulous and your film making skills exceptional. I wondered why you were so skilled with your baking. Your apple pie made my tummy rumble❤
Just a note to say how much I look forward to my Sunday morning ritual of watching your videos. Watching your journey is a joy!
The motivation that makes me watch the video...is that we all feel that we are this man's family...and we are from afar😊
I almost always end up misty-eyed watching these videos. Such a beautiful place. So much work and dedication.
No dull moments ... I just luv how you've captured the unpredictability of the weather in a span of one week, its just amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Not sure if it's intentional, it most likely is, knowing it's Martijn we're talking about here. But this video felt different, in a good way. The start of the video was more personal and relaxed. I can totally see this slight of a change make your format a lot better actually. Personal and relaxed intro > work, hiking and whatnot > ending monologue. Definitely a nice way of going about it. Thanks for another video, Martijn. Always appreciate it. (Also, a later edit here: Didn't realize until now, how much I have missed the music in the videos. I know there's always been music in the end of each video, but I'm talking about the music throughout the video, in the middle etc.)
Nothing better than dutch applepie 👌
He obviously loves it, makes it quite often!!
Fundamentally an apple pie is apples ....and pastry..... .....they don't have to be 'Dutch'....to be delicious ......!!!
ermm thats a apple pie not dutch apple pie
Ahhhh… I wondered where you’d learned to bake bread and pies.. You have a wide array of talents and, it seems, infinite patience..
"Oh how this spring of love resembleth the uncertain glory of an April day, which now shows all the beauty of the sun, but bye and bye a cloud takes all away." Thanks Will Shakespeare. "The uncertain glory of an April day..." what a great line.
Sunday with Martijn. Cup of coffee on my right. My dachshund on my left. Moment of peace.
I love the slow tempo in your videos, the beautiful cabin and nature shots and step by step improving your home. Love it!
The serenity of the snow was almost tangible in this episode. Just what I needed. Thank you Martin.
Sunday evening essential viewing. So much better than anything on TV.
I am always a little bit sad at the end of the video. Honestly, I could watch for hours. Thank you for my Sunday morning with coffee.
The wood paneling will be gorgeous against the beautiful stone. Love the dog scenes.
You never cease to amaze me! Your talents are endless. I just love your programs!
Along with everything you are doing your camera work continues to amaze me. The carpentry is work well done and the way you capture and edit brings us right into the room and the outdoors with you. Thanks for bringing us along.
My Sunday is complete. I feel such gratitude just to be able to observe this magnificent filmmaking. Thank you Martijn.
Martjin, you're videos evoke the Divine- from the pie making, to playing with the dog and a stick, and the snow storm, you remind us of Divinity in all things. I am truly grateful to you for sharing your vision and your life. Sending you and all who "get it" Love and Peace.
❤
Love and Peace to you. I certainly "get it." Martijn is my Sunday morning church service.
i’ve truly loved one man in my life: my former father in law who never raised his voice with me and boy did I deserve more than that many times. I can say I love Martijn as do many I am sure! I love his love of cycling, coffee, baking, design, chasing solitude, hard as hell work ethic, all animals and care of nature. Peace to you my brother!
Omg ❤ you playing with the dog is priceless
Not really.....it's just playing with a dog ..like millions of people do...every day......!!!
@@andymccabe6712 True....but it's awesome to see him stop and have some fun
And you always know who Will get sick of the play first, and it will not be the dog 😅
Flowers in the flower box a nice touch. Love your channel and the transcript makes following your movements a real plus. No need to wonder what you’re doing. I’m an 80 year old widow and love following your restoration process…from PA, USA.
The only time a straight stick becomes a constant boomerang, great video as always Martijn
Your mom would be so proud of that apple pie. Great work this week!
Hi mountain man, I go along with every one who loves you and your channel, your unique and your folks did a good job in bringing you up to be a thoroughly good and talented human being! I love watching you and hope you never stop making videos of your fascinating life, three words, what a man, much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Its those memories you will forever hold in your mind and heart Martijn and what is lovely you have it on film. Another lovely video. Glad the tent deck has gone to someone who can use it. Have a lovely week.
I really liked the gradual effect of the transition from night to morning at the beginning of the video.
Agreed… I was in awe
Great editing - you are so skilled in making beautiful entertaining videos - thank you 🌸😃🌸💕
Martijn’s brother did a good job on the concrete wall.
Martijn how nice to always hear you talk about the little pleasures of life that most people take for granted granted these days in this crazy world of ours…lov it
A day without MARTIJN really is a missing interesting moments...amazing amazing and great GENTLEMEN..
Bonjour. C'est vraiment beau la neige sur les arbres vert. Les poules n'aiment pas la neige. La compagnie du chien est différente des poules. Ce n'est pas la même présence, on peut jouer avec un chien. J'ai hâte de voir le panneau de bois fini c'est tellement joli et tres précis ce que vous faites. J'adore le dimanche car je peux regarder votre vidéo, cela me met du baume au cœur. 🙏💖🤗
That's a nice narnia cabinet you got yourself there
enjoyed the bakery story, explains your talents there
When the Border Collie showed up and you were playing with the stick brought back so many memories of my Border (my buddy and driving companion for 17 years). One day when I was picking my daughter up from school, one of the teachers stopped by me and Abygale who was laying by my feet and said “are these dogs smart” and I said in a very conversational tone “Abygale, go get me a stick” and Abygale slowly got up, paused, and walked away. The teacher and I then continued our conversation for a bit. Then here comes Abygale with a stick and dropped it by my feet. The teacher looked at me with curiosity and wonder in her eyes. Probably because I didn’t speak to Abygale with a command or even try to get her attention but just the same tone as I was speaking to the teacher. Border Collies are keen listeners and extremely intelligent. Thanks Martijn for another beautiful Sunday. The ‘girls’ love you as much as we, your faithful subs, do.
Wow! I didn’t know a dog could be so smart.
@@beam-kitty8425 Also, when it was vacuuming time (which Abigayle hated so much she would go and hide in the bathtub) we would have to spell out the letters to my daughter or my wife so Abby wouldn’t be so shocked when we turned it on.
I've never seen anyone baking this much apple pies and pancakes in my life 😂 Love the lifestyle
The flower box and calling your chickens "ladies" so sweet. Martijn as always thanks you for sharing.
Well. you kept us waiting today!
😂 I did get worried.
I could not settle or enjoy my Sunday morning coffee till Martijn posted!! 😂😂😂
Is he not worth waiting for?
@@aremacsnel Yeah, so did I ! Thought we might not get our special Sunday treat!
Yes Martijn is worth waiting for, but I started to think did he say last week he could not post this week. We just get up to early in enticipation it's Sunday.
Your mom would be proud of your apple pie. And thanks for the tip about freezing them to achieve a perfect cut! Oh, oh. "Freelance" has your number - he knows you'll play with him. You know that's only one step away from feeding him, and once you feed them, they're yours - LOL.....;). The paneling is looking good. I'm so glad to see you enjoying the fruits of your labors, and the milestones along the way. Thanks for sharing them with us. Have a lovely week, Martijn.
Simple, you never feed them.
@@ivydickson7596 I know. It was a joke.
Martijn, that was the sweetest thing playing with the gorgeous and playfull dog! What a beautiful live you have. Loved it! Blessings!
Einfach bezaubernd, die Natur, der einfallsreiche Mensch, seine Schöpferkraft bei jedem Wetter, ohne die Natur auszubeuten. Der liebevolle Umgang mit den Tieren und sein handwerkliches Geschick!! Ich bin begeistert von Martijn. Chapeau!! 😂😊
Wonderful and very smart dog. Martin showed his patience. Incredible how the weather went from sunny one day to about half a meter of heavy snow the next. Nice precision work going on.
Martijn you are a perfectionist in everything you do, self sufficient lover of nature, its wonderful to see your home taken shape 😊
I can't believe I've been watching you for three years now🎉🎉🎉 WOW, Time really does fly😊😊❤
You are an artist, you bring the Beauty out, in a world of indifference. Thanks for the Video.
I wait every Sunday for Martjin! He is so calm and patient,loves his animals,even with hen they are borrowed….lol….just a so calming.
Sunday evening just wouldn't be the same without an episode of Martijn's relaxing renovations at the house in the Alps. It's a lesson to us all that if you have a go, you can achieve so much. i love the way he's taking us on this journey with him and hope there are still many more weekly windows into his extraordinary life. Thank you Martijn, you make my week.
Lovely Sunday morning with Martijn! It is a joy to watch your progress and calm, deliberate approach to living an authentic life.
Sunday afternoon, it's time to relax and watch my favorite show.
Yes ...the same 😊
This channel was my comfort during lockdown. Oh how quickly life moves on and we forget all our troubles and worries.
Same here!
Idem pour moi
I wasn't ready for it to be over yet Martijn😂😂😂😂 Just a joy to watch, week in, Week out. Hope you are well.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The interior is coming along so beautifully. The new cabinet is gorgeous. Your ability to bring your wonderful vision to fruition is exciting to see. And how you share the importance of realizing meaningful moments in the process is a nice call to all of us about thinking about and creating our own lives of meaning.
I admire everything you do. Been watching since the 1st episode. That spring form apple pie looks delicious.
This was all beautiful, I enjoyed every minute, the ‘sodemieter’ was unexpected and funny, the dog is clever and becomes your friend, the flowers a special touch, the pictures of the snow on the green a treat, the work on the wood panels craftsmanship and at the end the help you gave to your neighbor, nice! And finally you said ladies to your chickens instead of guys😂 Thank you Martijn!
I have watched you since episode one. I have watched you turn that lonely barren cabin into a cozy home. It is beautiful. The dog is adorable. A dog may not be a good idea for everyone but once you earn their love and trust you have a best friend for life. See you next week Martijn. Stay safe.
Congratulations and such an inspiring journey you have shared, now my wife is hounding me to add " you need three more chickens, a puppy and two sheep :) " We have loved your un-rushed attention to detail with minimalist antique taste. Most refreshing and uplifting. 😊
The falling snow is absolutely mesmerizingly beautiful. No snow, and then ... the next morning ... Wow 👋! I love the Wood Wall paneling. I have to confess. I was a bit worried about those unsightly concrete walls. But then, that is understandable. I am not an artisan. I am not Martijn, who had a plan, BEFORE he started his renovations 🤪. The two lady chickens are so human (and hilarious). No exploring today, thank you 🤣. But tomorrow, YES! I agree, the wall Flower Box is an iconic feature with a lot of history and sentiment. Until next time xxx
Maybe make another lovely flower box and fill it with culinary herbs. So very handy to have right outside the kitchen door. 😊
