Compilation of the build of the masonry stove. The concrete core and doors were provided by Tempcast.

Hello, Thanks for letting us enjoy the project with you. I have a question: witch 3D drawing software do you use. I have see it in your videos but cant find the exact video. I tried Sketchup but that crashes on me.
Thanks
WOwwwww!!!! very good job! i be follow you since day one. Finally is complete first step! thank's for your video
Thank you for another beautiful, peaceful video. What movie were you watching?
I’ve been here from the beginning…watching with awe and anticipation each post~Everything you have done is absolutely exquisite…you have such focus and intention in each project! The cabin is absolutely breathtaking…well done! 🥂❤️🙏🏻
Consider charring the peeled poles prior to putting them in the ground. Old tech method of treating poles for rot/insects
I seriously can’t believe you made a home out of a derelict mountain cabin. I don’t think many people nowadays could ever achieve this (I definitely can’t!), and it has been a satisfying experience watching your weekly videos and waiting for the next update.
Салют. Очевидно, что вы, парни, люди творческого труда. Такие плоские и разновесные камни для крыши удобнее носить с помощью широких текстильных строп. Перекидывая их через плечи. Так грузчики носят все неудобные и тяжелые грузы по лестницам этажей и в узких проходах. Руки свободны и груз распределён на плечи и верх спины, а не на кисти, предплечья и поясницу.
How wonderful to see the beginning again. The completed cabin is so beautifully done and what a journey!
Simply beautiful dear Martijn, just beautiful 👏🏻🎉💕
Madre mía!! He😢😢 con este vídeo,espectacular!! como a quedado la cabaña!,Estoy enamorada de ella.😍😍.Un gran trabajo Martijn ,que belleza de dormitorio/baño,todos esos dellates (grifos, cabecero,luces,cuadros,etc), dormirás genial! La estancia de arriba se ve más acogedora que antes con el sofá,el añadir imágenes de como ha sido el proceso de renovación es todo un detalle. Me faltan palabras para describir lo emocionada y feliz que me siento con este vídeo. Muchísimas gracias por este viaje tan bello. Mucho ánimo 💪para la siguiente obra de arte(proyecto de invernadero).
Congratulations!❤
Congratulations, you have done something most people dream of but never achieve. I hope you find years of happiness and contentment in your amazing home.
It's a beautiful house, I'm happy for you. And happy for us, who got to see the journey so far.
Martijn, great goal acomplished, huge milestone ! was wondering are you planing to change the upper door ? You said its finished, but those gaps will be impossible to close in winter and you will loose great amount of heat this way. i know you should have thought about this already, jsut wanted to get your perspective. cheers
Martijn we want the final Time Laps of these first two and a half years of work!! Have a good time!!
CONGRATS! It is so awesome and inspireing what you just accomplished!!! i wish you all the best!
Martijn I had sent you email to your gmail account about me stopping over for a day while in Italy. Let me know if you are in fact around on that specefic date.
By far, having seen you reached the first target, this is the best video so far. Happy for you!
Congratulations!
добрый день. ты молодец, не все люди имеют такое занятие как у тебя. твое занятие по восстановлению дома исключив
You did a great job, man! I mean, with the house and with your video. Great!
Well done Martijn, a fabulous achievement, I have enjoyed watching your progress
It is out of the context from your videos.But I have to ask you . Could you tell me which wrist watch your wearing & what do you have in your collection? It looks great. 😂
I'm watching the short twice film as the buildings' rural stories.
your art is bad
Watching the outro moved me. Thanks Martijn, it's been a wonderful couple of years. Viva les chickens!
Congratulations. Your home looks so nice and cozy.
Congratulations on the finish Martijn. Seeing the clips from the humble beginnings ….. I’m missing those days when every episode was a new discovery. Looking forward to your new projects.
Great job on finishing the cabin. It looks great. Only one thing that would annoy me is the sink spout in the bedroom. I like to put my head over the sink and use my hands to wash my face and hair. The spout being so far out would be in the way. But apart from that it all looks really nice. I find that having the wildlife cam on photo only gives much better results and a longer battery life. Maybe some of your bigger odd shaped rocks around the bottom of the chicken coup would deter predators somewhat. Thanks for sharing. ATB regards from the UK
Your cabin is just right very cozy❤ looking forward on your next project the second cabin❤❤❤
Very impressive.
❤
Great.Very Nice. Beautifull House.Very Good.

Amazing
Watched from the beginning and cannot believe how wonderful it all looks. So very proud of you.
Just wow! You are a true inspiration with all your hard work. Give yourself a nice pat on the back, I think you have earned it. I love watching your journey. I can't wait to see what this year holds for you and the property. Cheers
Martijn. As others have mentioned. Im absolutely over the hills and back for you. Following yiur journey to this point, is amazing. I look forward to more of the development of the other building and of course the chickens😊
Someday I want to be able to live like you. Having my shit together, living my dream and being passionate about it every day. And all of that in harmony with nature. The cabin looks incredibly beautiful and cozy. It also gives such a secure feeling. I love your editing style, but if you ever need an editor for something, it would be an honor to work for you. Im 24 right now, studying my passion, which is editing. Much love from germany and thank you so much for all of this works. It's a beautiful reflection for others, seeking peace and harmony.
You have created something unique and magnificent. It would be presumptuous of me to say I was proud of you, because I don’t know you - but I am proud FOR you. Looking forward to the next two years…
The view is magnificent and the parting shot just made my day!
Hi Martijn, the place looks amazing. Love your choices in antique furniture like the beautiful living room hutch. Love what you did in the bedroom with the wooden accent wall that also acts as your headboard. Great final design details in the bedside wall lights, the bathroom vanity all looks amazing and very cozy. I also like your choices in sofa and accent chair. I am sure you mentioned this and I missed it but will you be planning to put some sort of railing going down to the bedroom? I am sure you are. Finally, looks like you enjoy having company and entertaining for family and friends and don’t appear to have a big enough table so may I suggest either trying to buy or build your own mobile table/mini island on rollers which can be moved over to a corner when you are not using it? I think this would be a great solution to a kitchen table. Just an idea. Well, it’s time to relax a bit and reap the rewards of all your hard labor and enjoy your beautiful little home you built. Great job! We are all proud of you! 👏
What an amazing 2+ year journey it has been following along Martin! It is just as it is supposed to be! Thank you for including us all! Can't wait for the next chapter sir!
The style of sink and faucet are not my jam, but the rest looks rather nice. And the craftspersonship is amazing
Well done sir!
Beautiful. So charming and unique. The inside feels like a warm hug. ❤
How do you feel about the other empty stone homes. Do you feel a kinship or a desire to fix them up?
Congratulations!
Well done! You should be very proud!
