#96 Plumbing, Electricity, Kitchen
The snow is melting again as I continue with building the kitchen and installing plumbing and electricity. I bake for the first time in the masonry heater, go for a hike to the ghost town and stack fire wood.

Over a year watching this became my favorite routine - to wait and watch your videos on Sundays! The cabin looks awesome!
Do you like camping videos? If so check out ABCamping. He’s from the uk and you might like his channel too. Merry Christmas!!🎄🎁
Am the same love his videos and this build is interesting to watch
What I like about Martijn, is that he got all the old school skills like manual labor, but still is up-to-date with technology and quite tech savvy, the combo brings us a glimpse from the past with a touch of the new world tech.
Martijn is a real Renaissance man.
@@MrEroshan well said!
Manual labor isn't a skill. It's just a lack of being a bitc&.
@@MrEroshanhe can work !
Words can't express the brilliance!!
This is art in motion. From his building, to his videography, he lives art. I’m sure I can speak for most on here that tune in weekly to watch the progress, thank you for the inspiration. I’m glad I found this channel during COVID so long ago.
Totally agree. Such a pleasure to watch. 🇨🇦
samedt, I was here even when the house looks so eerie and impossible to how is it now
Your ife has been such an inspiration. I'm in my early 40's now and had a lot of great experiences, but I've kind of just died in the last 10 years and haven't really done anything. Because of your bicycle journeys and off-grid lifestyle I'm planning something big for the next year.
Suggestion: design a wood cover for the basin … to be used as cover and cutting board. Add “legs” so cover may be moved to fit over gas stove area. Gives more usable space.
A genius idea!
Most tiny homes or caravan homes use this strategy to add counter space. We built our own travel trailer and travelled extensively with 3 children for 15 years. The sink and cover made life much easier👍🏻🥰
We were able to purchase a wood insert cover for our sink. I am sure with his skills he could do that. There is one little hole to stick your finger through to pick it up. I also use that hole for juice to drain in sink. I love it.
Indeed, the surrounds of sink & stove are the most precious real estate on any property. Counter and cutting spaces to be maximized.
Martijn I'm so inspired by your tenacity in what you are doing. Also how you take your time. Never giving up. You are an inspiration to the entire. community watching. Yeah your kitchen is coming along beautifully. I can almost feel that fire here in America. I have a beautiful cast iron England's freestanding wood stove. The beautiful scenery you share with us is breath taking and I have painted a couple of them. You are sharing your life with us, your food, your friends, family. I cried when the tent fell during the storm. Glad you are inside now. God bless. Thank you Martjin. The BEST ON KZhead!!
Great episode, as usual, but today came with a special gift and I thank you for it. Towards the end, you were doing some sketches of your sink and kitchen lay-out and it flashed in my brainknob that I used to watch my dad (a civil engineer) doing some sketches dealing with hydraulics and being so impressed with the clean lines and perfect arcs. Since I was only around 5 at the time, it was quite amazing to me. Your artistic bent brought that back----albeit, 75 years later, lol. Love the fireplace and am still so pleased with your stonework to make it an intrinsic part of the house.
I have the same memory of my Father from almost 60 years ago! 🇨🇦
Hi to everyone from the UK. Martijn thank you again for another fabulous video. I just love to see how your home is coming together with the adding of the kitchen and furniture, great seeing you sitting by your fire looking warm and cozy. Lastly I'm so sorry white chicken is feeling the aftermath of her attack, hopefully she will slowly make her way out when the better weather comes.
It’s so good to see you looking cosy as you eat your meal in front of the fire. I know there is still a lot to do but I imagine it gives you a great sense of contentment knowing that your hard work has got to this stage…..and no more having to worry if the wind will damage the tent. You are doing a wonderful job .
I’ve been on this journey with everyone for this whole time. I knew it would be a lot of work and take a long time to accomplish just the first house, but here we are, edging closer and closer to your goals. This has been an awesome adventure, Martijn. Much love from Oklahoma. ❤
Yes, I was so pleased to see the water and electricity installed. Next the hot water and sewerage and Martijn will be in heaven! Merry Christmas everyone from Australia!
Hey Martijn, I really loved this video. It’s so nice to see you pottering around the house after having worked your arse off for nearly two years. Last week you said you still had to do this and that, and then... decorating... I thought, wow, how fantastic is this, that you are finally at a point where you can actually say that! The stove is brilliant! I remember Johannes telling that at his house it’s a constant 18 degrees... that’s all you need to be comfortable! Central heating is so different from a woodstove, and by having worked outside all year through, I’m sure you got much more used to the cold anyway. It will be interesting to see how it’ll be when it really starts freezing. Great kitchen, the sink and the tap really fit in the baita. I’ve seen several nice modern rebuilds of baita’s, but your style really suits it so well. The books from the architect look great, you’ll probably find some usefull stuff in there (for future projects? :) You must be looking forward to going home for a bit... I just had this picture of you having friends and family over for Xmas, and making oliebollen and ouderwetse appelflappen... who knows next year...? Take care Martijn, as always already looking forward to the next video! 🎄
Martijn, your videos are always superb and I greatly enjoy them. About the white chicken's back of neck- I raised chickens for 40 years, and that is a sign it is being pecked by the brown chicken. Chickens sense weakness and her being attacked and weak causes the brown one to do this. You need a couple more chickens, preferably white, so the brown hen won't pick on this one.
Oh really, that's terrible😢
Yes...raised chickens also and desertrose is correct...community chickens are similar to humans and punish weaker members...that is why white chicken won't go outside pen to be with roommate as she did when she was first hurt
Poor thing, as if she hasn't been through enough. 😔
good thought -I've had that too and its vicious and unrelenting but normally there would be a wound? When I saw her neck I though "she's moulting". Always distressing to see until you realise what's happening, but from my UK experience it can often happen just as the weather turns properly cold. No idea why!
Yes, chickens do molt, but not in just one spot.@@terrywilby2119
It’s so amazing to have a calm and quiet KZheadr as all the others i seem to watch other channels which are American or Canadian and they’re quite chatty and sometimes loud! What a delightful change!
true it´s very relaxing and beautiful. i have seen other KZheadrs do the same as martijn, idk if they got inspired by him or what, but it´s just not the same and the process is very slow. and also people tend to make everything more modern for a build like this. they don´t enjoy the nature like martijn. and i bet those people will just move after it´s done. living remote is hard unless you are pepared for it and enjoy nature
Yes I totally agree. It is so calming to watch.
Yes, the peacefulness of Martin's videos are delightful. The only overload is scenery! ❤️ There is a quiet Canadian channel which is another favourite of mine, Forestry Forest. He's an extreme hiker. Lives in a small van with a jack russel dog. His videos are a short & sweet, highlight of the week. Blessings to All. Merry Christmas.
Lol
There is an artist / painter called Vernon W Jones who has a very calming approach to his work... You may enjoy! Does a lot of beautiful seascapes...very calming I find👍
Martjin please put a splash back behind the cooking area because the lovely newly cleaned stones will absorb grease from cooking and soon not look nice.
Yes, my thoughts too! Even a temporary splashback that you can wipe then put away after cooking!
Yep, a glass protection, for mine opinion. Will keep the wall clean and the sight on the nice work you did🙂
I never thought the sound of chickens and power tools would bring me so much enjoyment! Love your channel and I always look forward to what’s next with your renovation journey. The drone footage is always so beautiful 😊
I cheered when you turned on the water in your kitchen, and then again when you cooked on your gas burners! What a long way you've come! I wonder how it feels psychologically to be able to be inside, warm against the elements, when you want to be. You've been essentially living outside for two years, and if you wanted to be inside, you had to go to town. Now you can be at home and inside. Well done! My best to you and everyone watching, from the mountains of North Carolina. Merry Christmas!
Me too ! 😊🌟
Merry Christmas to you too 🎄🌲🎄🌲☃️👍
I cannot get half way through your videos without wanting to comment how happy I am for you. The cabinets are beautiful, and you are warm. Bravo, Martijn! Merry Christmas and God's continued blessings.
Keep the birds warm and comfy, your good friends. Bring the to the other cabin for awhile 🇨🇦
I enjoy seeing the chickens EVERY video. Thanks Martijn.
Watching Martijn going about his tasks and daily life is like a peaceful meditation for me. I feel calm and refreshed afterwards for hours. The drone shots of his mountains are just amazing- today the view of the clouds lapping at the mountain tops reminded me of ocean waves meeting the land. Beautiful. The sound of the wind is very soothing. I look forward to watching Martijn all week.
Wow me too ,it's a real wind down ,kind of show
same here
@ritafoster4958 My sentiments exactly. I’ve enjoyed this weekly drop since the beginning. The thoughtful transformation has been a joy to watch.
Its amazing how chickens can feel anxiety and PTSD similar to humans, despite most people assuming they're not very intelligent. Animals have such complex and emotional lives, which is evident if we spend time with them and are open-minded
It's human arrogance and ignorance to think other living beings don't have feelings or can feel pain. I never understood how anyone can think like that. But it says more about them than about the animals.
As always, looking forward to Martijn's week of inspiration and work. Awesome scenes through the mist and fog. Thank you for taking us along on that hike. Blessings to all the subscriber community who gather here. I appreciate you, too. Marry Christmas from Tennessee, USA.
Blessings to you🎉🎉🎉🎉
Merry Christmas and happy viewing in the New Year! Thanks for being part of the community!
Oh what a difference living inside the cabin makes.... its a whole new chapter in your story and its exciting to watch how things progress weekly. Thanks for sharing that stunning top view of the mountains and taking us on that hike with you. The shot at the edge of the mountain where you had a snack was really spectacular!
The flight over the sea of clouds after foggy forest…so beautiful, made me forget about a cup with coffee in my hand, just got numb! And the fire instead of TV just perfect. 🔥 Wish you nice presents for your birthday ❤
Love the book, from a time when architecture still aimed at beauty rather than today's cement-glass dullness.
Вот это да! Мы мыслим с Вами одинаково. Какие бы не были навороченные современные дома из бетона и стекла, но живой камень всегда смотрится красиво даже в простоте строения. Красота в натуральности! Привет из России!🙋♀️
❤❤❤❤good morning to you and all online here❤❤❤❤
And to you
It’s a good night here for me🌔🌝
Although you may already be planning to do so, I would recommend that you put a backsplash on the wall behind the kitchen counter, primarily to keep oil/grease from the stove splattering all over the stone walls. In time splattered grease would become unsightly, not to mention the staining of the wall. I would also put in some cabinets and use a LED light strip beneath to provide light for your food preparation and cooking endeavors, but I am sure this is on the list. Being in the cabin sure beats another winter in the tent huh? Be safe!
Hi Martijn, me and my girlfriend watch all your videos, we just wanted to say that we are very happy seeing you have moved in, and that the interior is slowly taking shape. Very happy to see the chickens around as well, it feels like the bring some extra happines to your life in there. All the best
Aaaa, that crackling fire ....😊 Grew up with same in each room.. Watching the dancing flames, brings back the memory, and I could feel that heat in my cheeks 😊 I could watch the flames for hours.... Enjoy the fruits of your labour...stay warm, and have a Joyous Christmas.🎄
Greetings from Australia Martijn, watching you for 94 Weeks now, Incredible to begin on this Journey and experience the best of living in the mountains North of Turin. Fabulous to see you cooking inside, slowly it's becoming more and more like a home. Can't wait to see You making bread 🍞 in this oven. Absolutely beautiful Scenery as Always, The Photography is Perfect and Beautiful 👌🏽 Thank You Again for being able to share in this Awesome adventure with You Martijn. Danke
you may want to shield your stone wall from grease splatter
I'm sure he will fit something behind the newly fitted cooker, the one he used here was just a portable one. A sheet of marble, or patterned composite, or stainless steel perhaps. Edit: I watched the rest of the vid, to see Martijn using the new cook-top, without a splash guard. Those beautiful stones must be protected from splatter!
Maybe some transparent glass to prevent greasy stones but still let them be seen?
The first thing I thought of when he was frying right next to the beautiful stonework. At least some sealer.
Maybe a backslash of tiles or sealed flat stone.
I recently watched le otto montagne (which also takes place in the alps) and I couldn't stop mixing it in with the sensations I get while watching these videos. I highly recommend that film to anyone who finds peace here. Watch it, then come back to Martijn's videos with an even more fulfilled sense of Knowing how it must feel up there.
Love this movie! Watched it in cinema on my own when it came out and recently again at home. They filmed it in Valle d'Aosta, such beautiful scenery and very moving story.
Which film, ifyou would say to us? Thank you I apreciate !
@@mariadelcarmencangadehoran2263 it's called Le Otto Montagne . I believe it was released in 2022 :)
Delighted to see you’ve made your deadline to be indoors, warm, dry and cozy, as winter has arrived. I truly appreciate your attention to the fine details. 👏👏👏 Bravo, Martijn, Bravo!
om was not the first word.
Your home seems so cozy, safe and secure. I could live in a place like this with all the beautiful countryside.
That makes two of us! Next time you're flea market shopping Martijn, mirrors! Great for reflecting light and the few windows you have, but I'm sure you already know that. 👍
There are hardly words to express how great it is to just be along for the journey. Your drone work is on point, along with everything else.
I don't think that I can find the words to tell you how completely perfect the stove is. It looks like it has always been part of the building, and that is no easy task. I am so glad that it's keeping you warm and that this year you have a place to live for the winter that isn't always threatening to fall in on you. It must be a huge relief to know that that massive chore is done. Kitchens and things like that evolve but that stove is a massive accomplishment. Kudos! May you and yours have a blessed season!
After two joy filled months of binge watching your channel most evenings, my husband and I are now all caught up and feel slightly bereft that we'll only able to watch one (wonderful) new episode a week! We've still got your specials to watch over the Christmas period like the first year recap and stone roof. Thank you for sharing your life with us through KZhead. I hope you have a safe roadtrip home to the Netherlands for Christmas with your family.
It is somehow comforting to know that even a craftsman like Martijn has to re-do stuff.
Yes - I thought it was extremely honest of Martijn to show us the redo of the kitchen - how many would admit to needing to do that ? And yet we have all been there at one time or another ! It also shows the best reason of all to use screws rather than nails to fix things together - you can always just unscrew that connection - it beats trying to get bent nails out of wood ! So many projects have little changes made because something didn't quite work out !
i do it mostly
@@veronicaroach3667 FYI, Veronica, you "have to use screws" when affixing wooden cabinets to stone and masonry walls. You first need to drill holes into the stone wall for each screw to go into either a metal or plastic "Expander Sleeve" that you have to hammer into each hole you've drilled into the wall. Then, you attach the wooden cabinets with screws that go through the cabinet and into the expander sleeves that were hammered into the walls to receive the screws. As each screw goes into each corresponding expander sleeve, it "expands outward", locking the whole screw and sleeve into the stone wall. Martijn could easily use most of those same expander sleeves after he moves each cabinet over to make room for the Fridge. I hope that makes sense? Cheers and Happy Christmas!
I think you mean perfectionists as he is. He has high standards. So he consults YT and prs whenever he has doubts, questions or big projects to get right.
yes i was also shocked about the refrigerator debacle
One suggestion. Paint those cuts around the sink and put silicone so the water does not get under the sink.
Can use other more natural sealants too.
@@lawrencebacchetta6979I have used simple beeswax for this very thing!
In mijn ervaring is Alabastine houtrotimpregneer het beste. Ook preventief.
Paint, or take an old credit card and smear silicone over all the particle board edges. It covers up in seconds and is water tight unless repeatedly soaked.
And sillicone under the gas hob.,
The illustrations in that architecture book are absolutely beautiful.
Phew! The Designer in me almost got a heart attack when I saw the white plastic tube on the sink 😂 Thought this was the permanent solution.. But thank god you replaced it with sth really beautiful 😅
Molting can indeed have quite the effect on a chicken's energy levels
You’re there. .❤️ I feel so happy for you having followed this journey with you. Thank you. A man from my own heart. My father did this and I also did this. The satisfaction and the rewards are enormous. I learnt my skills from my father and He from his . but I had no idea how much I knew and had learnt until he had gone.
Wish there were more men like this in the world. Exceptional skills to have - not often found in the more current generations!
@@jenaemarieAZmaybe there ARE! Just not admin’s of their own KZhead channel🙂
I built my own home too ,2.5 years to finish it ,but I was working full time too. I totally agree ,it's a huge sense of accomplishment.
I didn't even watch the installation of my own kitchen as avidly as I am watching Martijn install his! It's so satisfying to see the transformation of this building into a home.
The sweet white chicken definitely does not feel well. She needs more contact to her human friend. She needs beeing hold and touched and talked to. In the house of my grandfather injured and ill chicken were allowed to come inside the house sometimes. They feel loved and accepted then and can heal easier. Those animals are are attached to their humans and are very sensitive and intelligent creatures.
Здрастуйте Мартін, любуюся Вами. Я уже старенька, мені за 70 років. Я прожила своє життя і не зустріла охайного чоловіка і була вражена, тим, що коли Ви що робите, то не псуєте навколо себе, все в гармонії: одежа, робоче місце, помешкання і т.д.
The nature and surroundings we get to see on your walks in the mountains is beautiful in summer, but in winter it adds that element of surreal magical mystery, I love it😊
During the panoramic views, I feel my jaw and shoulders relax. I don't realize how tensely I move through life. So appreciate this lesson in peace.
My chickens molt in the winter too. During the winter I add oily sunflower seeds, cabbage, and dry cat food as treats to their diet. The extra protein helps them get through the colder weather.
Merry Christmas one and all followers , don't forget to hit the like Button and help Martijn along.
Martijn, you are an inspiration. You have probably become inured to hearing that. But know that the inspiration I have drawn from you over the past 8 months has had marked practical implications in my life. So this is how I will thank you: with a simple KZhead comment. Keep up the life changing work!
The carpenter can learn sogar the whole world learn from Martijn thanks for the video .
I can’t wait until you make your first loaf of bread in that oven, Martijn.
that time when you know next 45 minutes will be fine as hell!
Ahhhh, the serenity and quiet, soulful experience of watching brother Martinj continue to live out his life continues. Now that I'm finally caught up is much harder.... I've gotta wait a while week in-between episodes and I've gotta say, this first week had been slow. Thank you, it just reinforces my initial thoughts of how unique and special your channel is brother. HalleluYAH YAH Most High be praised for the many gifts he's given you.
Those scenes of Martin walking, and the dronw following.. so immersive! Mastering the aerial footage tecnique.. you actually see the drone's shadow' but other than that, technology merges so well with the story telling that you almost forget about it
Martin, you have done a fantastic job and everything is beautiful, especially your walls!
Hello I’m watching from Australia. I’m not sure how I came across your videos but am really enjoying your resourcefulness, self reliance and oneness with nature, it’s beautiful to watch 👏🏼 thank you for sharing.
the drone shots following you across the mountain make it look like you're in a video game 👏
Thanks again for letting us into your space like this, a joy to experience every week.
I await the first loaf of bread to come out of that oven...happy Christmas to all ❤
It's great to see you living in your cabin and finally having a comfortable living environment that will only get better :) Also happy to see that your stove/heater is working as it was designed.
Merry Christmas Martijn and everyone here. ❤️ Love from Ireland ❤
Love ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦
I watch a Martijn episode on Sunday morning for peace. He’s my church.☺️
Ooh....that stone wall behind the gas rings getting splashed with fat is getting the punters VERY excited this week, Martijn.....!!! Hundreds of people have said EXACTLY the same thing (proving, incidentally, that NOBODY reads the comments...!) ....well, apart from me..of course...!!
Great to see you make your first meal in the cabin, looking forward to seeing the first bread in the oven :-)
Awesome episode as always Martijn . The fog scene was breathtaking. ❤
Stunning footage with your drone. Amazing scenery. ❤️❤️
I've been down with the flu for almost a week, and this episode, with the stunning scenery, ambient music and laid back pace, has been the most calming and therapeutic thing I've watched all week! Thank you.
Each week recently we can see it all coming together quite fast now, I love the tap over the sink, it's beautiful and the coat rack you bought looks great, fits into the decor very well. I look forward to next week but will definitely miss your videos while you take a break over Christmas. Well done Martijn, your hard work is really showing results. Merry Christmas from Australia xxx
One of my favorite channels. Love every moment of your videos.
what others do you like?
Just wow. The scene with the trees in the mist and sun is really beautiful.
Can’t believe another year has gone by. You have accomplished so much. It was so nice seeing you eat in front of the fire, I was so happy for you.🙂 Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🌲🎉
I enjoy every one of your videos each week and the way you produce your videos with minimal talk is also appealing. You must spend much time placing your cameras and editing your content. The sounds of the wind, cow and goat bells along with your chickens clucking makes your production so superior.
yes he makes a movie a week--solo
You have enchanted my life! I wept tears of joy the last two weeks. Please tell us you intend to take us along on the big house Reno! Merry Christmas dear friend Barbara E Connor 95 Years old and thank you for sharing!
Si es un artista; él habla con sus imágenes, sonido, luces, y su orquesta de ruidos de sus máquinas. Todo le queda muy bien. Gracias.
Yes!!! It’s that time of the week again, Martijn Doolaard his new video!
It is a pleasure to see how carefully and precisely you plan each part of the job. People around the world support your project and are happy to see that you are more comfortable this winter. Blessings for the Christmas Season with your family.
You’ve created a great space for yourself. The red chicken stole the show today, chatting away during your outro.
Watching you cook at your kitchen , what a sight for sore eyes 😊
I had a little weep for all the months of being outside in the cold to cook (as well as everything else too!) Such a joyous episode!
You probably know this, but you can clean the upper stove window with wood ash and water. The cabin is looking great!
You are the an amazing artist my friend! The skills you display along with the vision make this channel one of my favorite! @ 13:07 " The Fog" Your incredible video skills are in full display in a mesmerizing sound choice of music that brought me into a solemn state of mind! Beautifully done! BRAVO!!
Well, it’s good to see I’m not the only one who has to go back and redo something usually more than once. Your kitchen is coming together and it’s gonna be beautiful! 🙏💃🏻🥰
So nice to see you inside in the warmth and coziness of your beautiful home 🩷
Hello Martijn, I have watched from the beginning, your videos never disappoint, enjoy it all, the building, the walks the chickens, it's 11pm I'm in Tasmania your Wright about watching your fire, I was just laughing to myself, your sitting in front of the fire eating your dinner, I'm laying in bed watching your fire, sending you and everyone watching a very blessed Christmas.😌❤️🙏🎄
To make your temporary office safer, I would rotate your desk to face the wall to the right of it. If you roll backwards on your chair currently, you’re going down the stairs!! Love the progress and glad you’re in warmer conditions for the winter.
If you remember. There is a rail that he drew up. He has yet to install
I'm super impressed with the stove, the construction stores/ radiates efficiently. Life is good. 🙏 I don't blame little White Chicken for staying indoors. I don't go out in winter in my bare feet w/ my butt hanging out either. Hen Rule # 24-7
Good day Martijn, been with you from the beginning you should be really proud of what you have achieved. Love the exposed stone which brings me to a concern I have. The wall behind the cooktop will inevitably bet fat splashes etc on it which will be almost impossible to remove. If you installed a hinged cover it would cover the cooktop when not in use and protect the wall when cooking. Keep doing what most of us wish we could do.
Could also just get a piece of plexiglass or something to put there when cooking.
I am in Melb, Australia. This seems another world to me, but I love your vids and that you share with us all. Thank you..
Hi from Lago Maggiore Christmas is upon us soon and I'm so glad you'll have a cosy fire and stout stone walls to protect you this year. Fantastic job Martin
Hi Martin - your videos are so filmic I always watch them on the TV, where I don't get access to the comments. But I have loved all the Italian videos from the beginning and thank you so much for making them. It is a great relief to see you finally under shelter for the winter - I hope you will sleep like a log in the warm and dark. The stove is lovely. Best wishes!
My wife is always worried about the bed next to the steps 😂 Sleep lightly okay 😉
Me too.
You need a railing.
Can you get another chicken so the white one has more support? So cool to see it all coming together, mandatory Sunday morning viewing for me
You should add ventilation vents to down and upstairs. Vent for fresh air to downstairs, in worst case while you use the fire place the exchange air will be sucked in through the sewer pipes, also possible cracks in the walls will bring air inside and with that particles inside the walls will be in the air that you BREATH. Then another vent to upstairs to get the "bad"/moist air out of the house. Otherwise over time you will have problems with mold and also your own health is at risk, bad air quality can cause symptoms to your eyes, skin, heart, and respiratory system
Gut erklärt. Ja Umluft ist die Lösung.
Magical spell living above the clouds...old world beauty so inviting. (love the kitchen sink faucet.) I've never seen anyone light a fire on top of the wood. Your explanation of the masonry stove was of value to me.
It is "home, sweet home" now. You've done a beautiful job, Mr. Doolaard! The coat and hat rack was a wonderful find and fits in the space like a glove. Best regards from the Sonoran Desert.
Love everything about him and his channel! I learn and get ideas with every episode. I would however like to hear his reasoning why he chose to put the kitchen upstairs when the oven/fire is downstairs. I am absolutely NOT criticizing, I just love how his mind works and am sure that his reason will have me smackin my forehead! I grew up in Switzerland so this landscape makes my heart ache and I am so so thankful to have this channel. Thanks Martijn....
Because heat rises??
@@martinehorne3119 and that would have what to do with putting the kitchen upstairs?
@@andrewgraf9747 the living area would become too hot for comfort??🤷♀️ And the lower level would be too cold as functional work space in cold weather🤷♀️🤷♀️?
I'm just guessing, but carrying groceries - there are probably less steps outside & inside by having he kitchen upstairs? Another thought- the old "hot air rises, cold air falls," the lower level may be cooler in summer, where he plans to put the bedroom eventually, but probably nice to have a fire in winter ? 🤔
I like your drawings, seeing what is in your mind, as you undergo steps to complete tasks. Winter is a time to slow down, take stock, hibernate; let the natural world breathe deeply. Enjoy your winter break, be still, rest, feast (!), gather, look back, look ahead.
I think the white chicken is just traumatized from her drastic experience where she lost her tail feathers. I don’t blame her… if I lost my tail feathers I’d stay put and never venture outside again! 😂 You’ve really done a fantastic job getting your place livable and it’s almost done. Hats off to your endurance and hard work from PA, USA.
OMG, thanks a lot for that amazing view (especially the CLOUDS). Your kitchen designed beautifully. What an exciting great life to have a heating system like you constructed. Your educational way of showing your work, it’s a big gift for us viewers. Thank you so much Martjin, chicken will be okey (she have little trauma maybe from what happened). Just stay safe always, have a happy Christmas, God bless
Thank goodness for internet and KZhead and most of all #MartijnDoolaard for the best content, and sharing it with us ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
sun up sun down, peace in the neighbourhood. Time for a bit of reflection. always a pleasure. Thank you Martijn.🍀🍁
Martijn, you may already have it planned, but do you know what will happen if you don't install a vent to the outside for your stove? Yes grease on everything. Love your channel. You're doing what a lot of us may secretly want to do.
