YEAR TWO | Renovating Two Stone Cabins in the Italian Alps
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- Compilation of the second year living off the grid in Italy. I was halfway the roof renovation of the first cabin and got it weather tight just before heavy snowfall. During the darkest days of winter I carved out wooden rain gutters. Then moved on downstairs with the big work: digging out the floor, building foundation walls, digging trenches for drainage, sewage and plumbing. In summer I poured a floor, completely rebuild the small side room, replaced a lintel, fixed the holes and cracks and pointed the inside walls.

He just gets on with it, no complaining, just gets it done, its actually inspirational in a way that CZcamsrs often aren't. This is content that should be heralded, flippin brilliant.
So true. Although, I in fact actually somehow feel it demeaning to him and his craft - what he produces in total, both by hand on the ground as well as cinematographically “content” - as it sort of lumps him in with so many CZcamsrs who actually do NOT even produce “content” but are merely acting as some sort of online, desperate prostitutes, and thus only represent the way over-commercialized, likes-begging online and “social” media hordes of our age. Martijn’s work and production, quality, to me, are more along the lines of beautiful short films.
From Southern California ~ Happy New Year!
This is the way…
Agreed!
@@dutchglobetrotter6464 👍👍
Absolutely agree 😊
Lieber Martijin, ich sehe jetzt seit 4 Stunden dein Hausvideo und bin tief berührt und freue mich mit dir an dieser wundervollen Natur. Ich bin 74 Jahre alt und habe vor 40 Jahren auch ein Naturhaus gebaut, weiß, wie schwer die Arbeit ist und wie Holz riecht und Mörtel.
Bleib gesund, achte auf deine Hände. Ich wünsche deiner Seele ein einmalig schönes Heim. Herzliche Grüße aus Germany 🌞
happy new year dear Martijn... greetings from 7 kilometers below your cabin... it's an honor to have you in our valley 😉 ciao ciao
How cool!!!
wow! 😊
Hey Martijn, great compilation of the year. So much done. But one thing left me with a warm feeling - what an excellent friend and wonderful human being Johannes is!! He's a really great man.
What a pleasure it has been to follow your journey martjin, I started following you late 2021ish, I had a serious accident that very nearly killed me and I had to relearn to walk, and I'm now on my feet again (95% with a lot of fighting and hard days but i'll never be 100% but i'll take the 95%), you have inspired me to live more and go after what I want. During that time I could live a little through your videos while I was stuck in bed for nearly a year, thank you for your content and what you put out into the world, truly.
Aren't there awards out there that Martijn should be getting?
Indeed! His cinematography is fantastic!
Love your channel. You create and surround yourself with breathtaking beauty; congrats and thanks. I'm 75 yr. old, retired school teacher living in country near Knoxville, TN. Love your work ethic and high level of skills. We have many of the same hobbies.
Hello Martijn! You couldn't ask for a better (friend) neighbor than Johannes! Happy New Year!
Thank you and a very happy 2024. It’s an absolute joy and privilege to witness all you do.
It is heartwarming to see a group of strangers working, laughing and eating together despite different languages and backgrounds. Truly the essence of humankind…. And gives credence to the old saying of “it takes a village”..
That, "old saying',is in reference to raising children.." it takes a village,to raise a chi!d"...great 'Commraderie " though !...jus'sayin'...
Hi Martijn.
My wife (who is Italian) and I watch your weekly videos religiously every Sunday night.
They are inspiring and leave us feeling warm and happy everytime.
Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing more of your great work in 2024.
Happy New Year 🎉
Bedankt Martin voor de vele mooie uren waarin we je aan het werk hebben mogen zien 😁.
Het allerbeste voor 2024!🥳
Martijn love your chose of music for your videos. So beautiful and relaxing. Thank you.
Thank you, Martijn. Happy New Year to you and all the subscriber family here. All stay well and safe. God Bless.
For me, growing up and not learning the skills to handle adversity, Martijn is the example of calm under pressure that I need to see. It soothes me to watch his videos, to see him prioritize the situation, understand that he is safe and the rest will get sorted. His attitude, skills, musical selections and beautiful cinematography are the best. He has added value to my life. THANKYOU Martijn. Can’t wait for your coming adventures.
Holy wind storms Batman!!! Now I understand why everything there is built of heavy as possible stone shingles included!! My prayers go out to you!!
Martijn is a tough guy, as vid of his biking through the Americas shows. And now completely renovating what was really not much more than two old piles of stacked stones into a stunningly gorgeous mountain retreat. What percentage of the population has the mental toughness and perseverance to overcome, to see a project like this through to completion as Martijn will? ~~Minnesota/USA
Well said ! 👍
Very well said - mad respect to Martijn! 👍👍
So happy to see we have a video today! Capsuling the past year will be a wonderful afternoon for the final day of 2023. Happy New Year to all and Happy Everything for 2024 to all of us. ❤️❤️ From sunny Florida 🌴🌴🌴
🇧🇷feliz ano novo🎉
💙
Very happy for you to be in the first cabin. Martijn you deserve an architecture award!!!
Welcome home!!! I am in Florida, nice weather. I don’t even remember how a few weeks ago I found your page but I really enjoyed, the peaceful way of your daily videos. I remember when you commented that you didn’t save 5 days of videos and you looked so calm. Happy New Year . I was talking with my sister and then I saw your page on. I got excited. Thank You again.
Happy New year 🎊 to All You and your all your followers. 🧘♀️☮️🕉️☯️🐝❤🐝💡🐝🪫🐶🐾
Happy New Year 2024 to all Maartijn Doolard's followers!!!
Gosh, already four weeks without any news. Incredible how I miss these videos.
Not sure when you will be back, but just so you know, you are greatly missed!! I hope you had a wonderful vacation with your friends and family and come home refreshed, revived and ready to tackle the inside this winter! The stairs and stove are incredible! You are perfection! Travel safe!
This wonderful man never gives up. His homes look better with every video and I never get tired of them.
Here we are in southern California near Manhattan Beach in our living room with our 2 doggies. It’s drizzling outside while we have our coffee and eat pastries, which is seldom. Happy to be with you all that love Martijn. Happy new year to all!
Coincidimos en el aprecio y afecto a Martijn. Felicidades y gracias.
There is something special about you brother. I watch many renovations, when yours popped up, I couldn't stop watching. Massive building skills and patience with the camera action. I can tell you have peace, even through the videos. Many people strive for that type of peace in their lives. I'm still pushing towards that, but very close to achieving that peace myself! I look forward to viewing more.
Dear Martijn, I send you, at 30°C and beer drinking, my best wishes for the 2024, from Thailand. Thanks a lot for your videos and all your efforts you do for us.
Martin I have followed your journey restoring your cabin from the very start and loved every minute of it, this episode brought back all the good memories and the odd sad ones, I was reminded of all the wonderful people who came to assist you on the heavy duty tasks and also Johannes your kind neighbour, thank you for a wonderful New Year’s Eve viewing 😊
De beste wensen voor 2024! Bedankt voor het inspirerende werk en de beelden van de prachtige wereld.
Jij natuurlijk ook de beste wensen Martijn voor 2024! Dank voor je video's en het verhaal tot nu toe 🎆
Another year tucked into the memory box, etched with laughter lines and wisdom whispers. Age is a tapestry woven with moments, and here's to adding another vibrant thread. The calendar might turn, but the soul knows no numbers. A year older, yes, but richer for the stories collected and the lessons learned. Happy New Year to all! 🥂🍷🍸🍾
Lovely words 👍
Martin, I travel to Vicenza often. It has been fascinating to watch all that you've accomplished. Wishing you the best and a very happy, healthy 2024. God bless.
Yes! Lovely words.
You, my friend, are a gifted writer! Poetry!
Well said happy new year from Kansas
Martijn, congratulations to you and all of the volunteers that supported the project with their time and energy these past two years. The tangible rewards of the remodel so far are quite evident. I imagine the intangible rewards to you have to be very satisfying! Your dream is becoming a reality. Happy New Year, Martijn! From Minnesota, all the best in the coming year. Dan
This channel blows my mind. I mean, just doing all the work to renovate these cabins in a country where you are not native and don't speak the language is incredible. But then to film (with all the camera angles, and drone footage), edit, and document everything, well, it's nothing less than awe-inspiring. I've created a video or two for fun and it is incredibly time-consuming. I don't know how you accomplish all of what you do.
Hey Martijn! Where are you? I hope everything is going well with you. It has been a long time since the last video. We are eagerly waiting for your next video. I can't spend my weekend without your video.
He doesn't work in winter.
@@lightwave9588 He only took 3 weeks last Christmas/New Year
It’s 10:30 am in the Northwest of the United States about 45 miles from Victoria BC Canada on Whidbey Island. The temperature is warm for this time of year at 52F. I am sitting in the living room of my cabin in the woods with a cup of coffee happy that we get a video from Martijn. Happy New Year and thanks for the artistry in filming and restoring. Have enjoyed it since the first episode.
You are where I picture myself when I'm watching Martijn hahaha!
I m living in France and watching your videos is enough to feel a journey to the end of the world ! you doesn't need to be far away or isolated in a pacific island to feel in touch with nature with wild and feel far away from this f....society ! Everywhere you could find wild and landscape enough big for your human body ! Alps are a beautiful place ! Pyrenées too and so much places in Europe ! Have a great new year to come everybody !
Such a nice surprise! Thank you so much for thinking about all of us. I know we all love to watch you work so hard to make your dream come true. It is such a beautiful home and beautiful scenery too. Trials and tribulations are paying off. Looking forward to the new year watching your triumphs. Happy New Year to you, your family and friends. And, your chickens!
Gracias igualmente para usted y su familia.
Sunday mornings, Martijn Doolard’s channel and a cup of coffee with my dog on my lap💙😃👌🏼
As so many have said your videos should win an award I so enjoy watching them, better than a lot on TV, and I even cried when your little kitchen and tent blew down, so inspiring truly beautiful ❤️
Martijne - your channel is similar to medItation. It's a study in patience, calmness, serenity and artistic integrity. I am an American that lives in a tiny village on the Mediterranean Sea with my Dutch wife on the southcoast of Turkiye. We had the shell of a small village-style house built for us - walls, roof on a 1100 sq meter plot. We ourselves have added covered porches, stone paths and an extensive garden. We laid the floors, built wooden cabinetry in the indoor kitchen, an outdoor kitchen and shower and several small storage buildings as we're a bit too old to have done it all. The silence here is almost profound and the lack of humming background noise soothes the soul. After watching your cycling content were thrilled at this home content. It is definitely like s meditation and a very enjoyable channel you have created.
Ingeniero , arquitecto, contructor ,cocinero ,cose ,repara , graba,edita ,hace un trabajo fotográfico maravilloso ama y admira la naturaleza como pocos , que más se le puede pedir a este hermoso ser ❤ / Engineer, architect, builder, cook, sews, repairs, records, edits, does wonderful photographic work, loves and admires nature like few others, what more could you ask of this beautiful being ❤
Just a marvellous film.
We are regular viewers and absolutely love the privilege of sharing your journey. We have viewed this over Hogmanay (Scottish New Year's Eve) and NY Day. We are addicted to your content Martijn, and wait with baited breath for your next upload! Thank you! My 80 Yr old folks absolutely love you!
Excellent episode. So many stories woven into each one. This one makes me laugh. "Let's go roll some massive stones uphill and move them onto the roof ? " and those guys showed up, and I learned watching them. What good-hearted workers! I am glad Johannes is there for Martijn.
Martijn. Thank you for so many wonderful hours these last few years. I have admired your dedication to complete your cabin with passion. It is truly beautiful. And I like the quality of your viewers. Glad I am a part of this adventure. Happy New Year.
I have been watching you for a while now and you never cease to amaze me with your talent. You’re an artist, craftsman, explorer and you seem very at one in nature. It makes for fascinating viewing. Congrats on another year’s hard work. I’m so happy you’re now living in the cabin this winter!
One minute before YEAR TWO video premiers. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Congratulations to Martijn for two more years of an ongoing and wonderful journey
You are an inspiration Martijn!
Martijn, thanks for another year, sharing your life and not hiding behind either "bliss or hardship." I so appreciate your illustration of living in the moment, yet never losing sight of your goals. We're all pulling for you, feeling privileged to journey with you in your building process--life itself.
The bad storm with the hurricane-force winds demonstrate the solidity of building with stone.
I'm so glad I found your site - absolutely enthralled with every amazing project. Your wooden gutter project is stunning.
At 1:49 - Live n' learn - cement those beggars in.
This, for me, is one of the best refurbish-you-own-home presentations yet. An artist do-it-yourselfer, Jack-of-all-trades, master of most, with patience of a true man.
This is a lovely way to end off the year! Thank you for the video!
It is joy to see again that all comes better inside and mountains every season.
Cuando terminé de ver este vídeo en mi cómoda silla, me sentí flotando en las nubes y mi alma estaba en paz. Al principio, cuando vi la duración del vídeo (3:30h), pensé !!OOOh!! 😱creo que voy a ir dando saltos en la línea del tiempo para verlo rápido, pues ya he visto todos tus vídeos anteriores, pero al final no me he perdido ni un solo segundo, ha sido una experiencia increíble. Sinceramente, eres un artista en todos tus trabajos. Te deseo una gran salud y suerte en el 2024 para que puedas materializar todos tus sueños. Eres un gran tipo Martijn 😉
I am watching this year’s summary with my family, @ 14 C degrees and 2880 height, cooking pork for tonight.
We hope you are having some rest and family time…
You deserve it !
Điều tuyệt với nhất với năm 2023 của mình là đã tìm được kênh này, thật sự mình đã được giải tỏa những căng thẳng cuộc sống khi bắt đầu xem kênh của Martijn, chúc anh một năm mới thật tốt đẹp!!!
In een tijd waar alles versnelt met een kortere attentiespanne, is het inspirerend om je avontuur ogenschijnlijk van zo dichtbij te mogen meemaken en te genieten van de traagheid (op een positieve manier) en ook oprechtheid van je niet aflatende inspanningen. Dank je wel Martijn voor je zen-momenten die je ons geeft. Je laat het harde werken op een manier zien die klopt. Het leven niet op zijn makkelijkst of vluchtig maar op zijn mooist, in het ritme van de natuur. Goud waard!
Martin is fearless
Enjoy your final 4 1/2 hours (European time) before year 2024 arrives. Have a great golden night with your love ones, praying for peace around the world. Stay safe Martijn enjoy your night. God bless.
Happy New Year Martin & all the viewers 🙂. Wish you all the best & may wisdom find you and have a blessed future.
Martijn does life PERFECTLY❤😊❤😊
Your neighbour is a great man. It’s rare to find these kind of people these days.
Chapter 71 is something else... Seeing a woman doing her thing in such a place is beautiful.
My Granddaughter & I have watched this on repeat, since your away with family. Hoping all is well Martijn🫶
Happy new Year vor all Visiters from all countrys and berlin. God luk in to the future for all projects in this Channel and special for Martin.
Ich wünsche Dir ein gutes, erfolgreiches, gesundes und schönes neues Jahr.
Danke, dass Du uns an Deiner Leidenschaft teilhaben lässt.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
Have a happy 2024! We wish you good health so you can move forward with enthusiasm in your project and we can accompany you on your adventure.
As a viewer from neighboring Greece i have to say one thing.Amazing work and excellent cinematography.And when your good mother baked that cake i burst into tears.Be well and thrive
Szcześliwego Nowego Roku!!! Dla nas, wirtualnej rodziny .. Happy New Year to all of us, from Poland!!!!
I have relatives who live in Poland , I wish you and your family a Happy New Year
Thank You! Happy New Year to You too!!! :)
Gracias y igualmente para usted y su familia. Felicidades en 2024.
I always love when #Martijn goes on hike’s 🥾 🥾
Martijn , greetings from the USA, in Tucson Arizona. The precision in your build is a joy to watch. You are not afraid of hard work, and ask for help when needed. I like also that you take the time to hike and enjoy the beauty of nature around you. My husband is a craftsman, so I appreciate your attention to detail. I also get a real kick out of the cowbells as the neighbor moves their herd.
The Suzuki company should give Martijn a new Jimny for all the great publicity their brand has been given.
He's only had to replace the clutch after all those miles up and down the mountain paths, pulling fully-loaded trailers of gravel and you-name-it!
This vehicle is a beast!
Johanne knows how to look 👀 at the bright side 😅
Happy New Year Martijn. Greetings from sunny Kingston Ontario Canada🇨🇦 with -6C. So looking forward to weekly majestic cinematography & awesome videos in 2024. Have a wonderful holiday.❤
Happy New Year from MINNESOTA, USA
Few months ago I found this young fellow with a bit of land in the mountains. I raced thru 80+ videos and started over at #1! The difference in Martijn is striking. The first videos are more peppy and energetic, which makes his recent clips sound tired by comparison. But I don't think that is the case...it's his cadence that has relaxed and slowed down. He's moving with a new rhythm.
What an exciting adventure I can have right here from my cozy cottage by the lake!
Happy New Year!
🎉🥂🎉🥂🎉
The men who helped you with walking up the steep slopes carrying the flagstone was HARD work! Great men! God bless them!
Happy New Year everyone 🎉!
Amazing work! I love your style of editing. For all the people searching for another renovating series, I recommend Villa Aroldi. For some reason they don't have too many viewers yet.
You are great inspiration for me! Thanks for the videos! I wish you a happy and healthy new year to you and your loved ones! Take care greeting from Greece! PS i hope one day i ll make a roadtrip to come and find you!
Thank you for sharing your work with us.
If you haven't already built it, I think your chicken coop needs the most sunlight available all year round. Length of day and the ability to sun bask impact on their health and egg laying. They can forage in and around the forest if you get them out of their run during the afternoon.
Father J HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOUR❤😊GOD bless everyone moving those HEAVY FLAGSTONES...WOW..STRONG MEN..😮AWESOME JOB..❤😊
My husband and I get so excited when you have a new video. Love watching the miracles you have performed on these two houses.
I admire people who take on a single task for such a long time (and the end is not yet really in sight). My greatest respect and “hats off”...
Still, my favorite parts of all your fantastic videos are the times you were with your family.
By far and away)
Happy New Year’s Eve from Chanhassen, Minnesota, USA where we finally have a dusting of snow to brighten our brown landscape.
Happy New Year from the Pacific Northwest. Watching you work is like a relaxing meditation...well for us anyway. Happy to see you moved in and dry!
its like the dude has a whole crew out there. the videos are amazing
This time has passed so quickly with so many beautiful memories there. My wishes for everyone’s happiness..💞💞
Thank you so much Martijn, for sharing another year of your uniquely beautiful life. You bring a little bit of " heaven" to many lives each week.❤
Happy new year Martijn! I'm looking forward to follow you also next year.
A kezdetektől követlek, és most már nagyon hiányoznak a rendszeres videóid! Remélem, minden rendben van ott a hegyi kúria környékén, és veled is.
Minden nap izgatottan nyitom meg az értesítéseket, hátha van új epizód... aztán jön a csalódás... :(
Johannes wasn't kidding when he said all that snow was coming. Talk about digging yourself out, what a job.
Took me 3 days to get all the way through this one. A beautiful film. Unrivaled work ethic. Unrivaled dedication. Unrivaled discipline. You’re an inspiration Martijn. Thank you for your unwavering commitment so that we can all benefit from the instruction and/or entertainment your films have to offer. You are a true inspiration. Stay strong and again, thank you.
We miss you!
I bet you don’t miss the tent! Thank you for a years entertainment, do enjoy it 🤗
@241:10 my favourite part! Making flower condoms and after that working on the sewer system. And Martijn filming just down blouse. Gets me every time
You definitely do live in a most beautiful part of the world. No chemtrails to mess with the weather. Your videos are inspiring. Thank you
I noticed 2 unfortunately :(
Aloha! From Hawai’i🌺Watching your progress has become my Sunday ritual! Have a wonderful , prosperous New Year!
I like how chilled and patient you are. And birds chirping in the background makes watching so relaxing. Thank you for sharing and good luck
Hi Martijn, Happy Sunday!!😊
Recapping the Whole Year in this Video of 2023 is Marvelous!!😍
Your Whole Year, You have Done So Much Work & Everything is Beautiful!!😍
From the Roof, to the Gutters, to Starting & Mostly Finishing the Inside of the Cabin...Love the Stove, Stairs!!❤
Hope Your Christmas Holiday, Visiting Your Parents & Family was Fabulous!! 🎄❤
Have a Wonderful New Year !! 🎆❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
Your videos are always top priority on my viewing list! It is so astounding to see how much your love for where you are warms your heart and nourishes your soul. Thank you for communicating this message to all of us who are enthralled by your efforts. Have a wonderful 2024 and be safe.
Bonne année Martin! I've enjoyed watching your Sunday videos this past year.
The drought is over! Thanks for posting this! Learned how to bake my own bread, and to dampen block before repairing! How does one person this young know so much?! ❤❤
From the beginning till now these videos have been THE BEST! And we know that this coming year will be no different. Thank you so much for including us on your journey Martijn! Keep on keeping on!
