    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...

    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.

    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. 🙏💖🤗

    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.

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.

    If no large, soft brush is available when staining large pieces of wood, dip a rag and rub it quickly, making the stain even throughout.
    Burn the rags afterwards because they will spontaneously combust with oil based stains.

    As always, a sheer pleasure to watch your video. Amazing how much warmer the wall looked with just the bottom panels. Can´t wait to see how it´ll look with the finished wood paneling. What an unexpected snowfall so late in the month! We´ve had the cold weather returning after we´d already hit the 30 degrees a couple of weeks ago. And now the
    Sierra is still snow capped, something I hadn´t seen in over 40 years so late in April. Thanks for letting us partake of your life and giving us something to look forward to every Sunday!
