- I've started the works on building the solar array and replacing the front door. In the meantime I got a visit from the surveyor (geometra) and his technician and have lunch at my neigbour's place.

Fascinating to follow this man as he builds in such a beautiful, peaceful place. Makes me wish I wasn't too old (75) to follow his example. In this increasingly stressful world such a retreat from the noise of the world is desirable.
Every time I see these types of videos my heart yearns for the solitude and the youth to create such spaces. I look forward to God's promised new world.
this Rusticos weren't build for staying there in the Winter, this are Alpage Rusticos used for letting cows , sheep and goats grass during the summer, so you need to insulate them for an all season living comfort.
Lets do it together @Charles Brandi, together we are 67, already better!
@@Iggylux i love the sentiment behind this so much!!!! Yes!!
@@Alseide4 ok, let's do it. Why not? For some Euros we are free and working together, building a community with all the problems, but let's give it a try!
Johannes seems like he’s living the best priest life up there. Such an awesome garden and beautiful house, and he seems so chill.
Johannes has his own YT channel. Wonderfully animated videos around the catholic faith
@@JJJ-xf3ki whats the YT channel?
@@carl-fredrikkuhle6766 CZcams man!!!
That guy dressed like Saudi style???
Kirsten Dirksen YT channel has a video showing priest Johannes house.
Imagine an Austrian and a Dutch dude living on an Italian Mountain and exhange thoughts and ideas in English. Life can be sweet.
We have been doing it for millennia, it is our history, we are all Romans.
@@Genkoprime no, we are all humans.
@@squidcake4547 no.
Two CZcamsrs moving in next to each other in the middle of nowhere in the Alps.
@@Genkoprime Yes, we are all humans. We are not all Romans. Go back and hit the books, but accurate books. Not the lopsided, erroneous crap it appears you’ve been reading up till now.
Johannes is amazing, I came across his story on another CZcams channel and he explained how he restored his abandoned dwelling. His gardening skills are also terrific. What a great neighbor to have!
Lol, I just saw the same one a week or so ago, strange coincidence!
On Kirsten Dirksens channel? It's a super weird coincidence! But a welcome one. Both Johannes and Martijn are such calm and interesting people.
I also watched that a few days ago.
Hard to believe that others have watched that video here. CZcams knows how to cater to our tastes.
Can you give me that video so I can hear it coz I want to hear about his life pleeeease :)
I'm coming up for 3 years renovating a French Farm house that potentially dates back to sometime in the 1700s. Its been super stressful, testing and at times cold ( I will never forget those first couple of weeks), BUT what I've learnt and the experience and memories we have made (Partner and 2 dogs) and the accomplishments achieved are sooo worth it! Seeing you starting on your beautiful cabin and making those first moves again; a time when you're stripped back to absolute necessities and nothing more and being pushed by nature to show you what you're really made of makes me really want to start all over again and enjoy a truly raw, rustic existence once more
You’re doing an amazing job on the farm house, Moe! I’ve been following along for some time now on Frances’ ig page. Keep going, wish you all the best!
Parenthood shows what you are really made of.
Noce
Unfortunately the geometra is right about the paperworks and their prices if you want to make important changes to the barn's structure or facades... If you ever need advices we are two architects currently going through the same process with our stone house in the Ligurian Alps, don't hesitate to get in touch we'll be happy to share our modest knowledge
this is so also in Swiss, even in a new build house you can't do nothing without permission, my parent came from a town in Italy, Borgo val di Taro is the nearest town, but you still to drive 45 min to reach their old house, it looks like his home today
Ligurian Alps? Where are those?
@@mtjensen5 They run from south Piemonte to the mediterranean sea and then all the way along the coast until Tuscany. The region is called Liguria :)
How fortunate for both Johannes and you to be neighbours....a formidable match for the mountain.
You will definitely benefit from each other's knowledge, company and support.
Both of you equally fascinating....an enviable little neighbourhood.
❤️🇨🇦
I watched Kirsten Dirksens videos on both of them before I saw this video. I read the title and thought it was to much of a coincidence not to be the same priest.
the priest sent me here too, just subbed :)
By the way, when I state I was 'turned aroound' by someone psychic no I dont mean I spend time chanting and going asround in sandals and a robe. The changes experienced enabled me asnd others for instance victims, to confront the wrong doers which was as popular with the public as a hole in a canoe. one of the things I had been told was- 'You Will Become Very Powerful' No I didnt brelieve it either. Ask me now ? Gettoing rid us wont save this planet.
@@SnelfNL perhaps glad they connected .. he is quite a good builder.. fortunate to be neighbors
So thankful that you numbered your episode so I cn easily follow your journey.
You know your in a peaceful place when the roar of one cup of coffee is calling your attention!
Yes, so true!
I like that little walkway upstairs, on the Priests house
Martijn you are a pure inspiration and help people embody their dreamhouses project. Wish you the best with this project. Also I am completely drawn by the magnifiscent sorroundings and the pristine mountain landscapes.
Inspiring and at the same time calming to watch. Awesome.
Yes, watching Martijn's videos are definitely calming and inspiring!
Watching this again in Feb '23 and I can see how far this place has come since Martijn has done so much work...awesome, man.
hello Martijn,
i hope you don't mind an unsolicited suggestion.
i have had some experience creating temporary warm space in a barn and a warehouse space.
here is what i came up with:
first i tied roughly 1/8" nylon ropes to the rafters in large Xs from ceiling corners, i then slide reflectix in between the tension tied criscrossed ropes and the rafters. this forms a temporary ceiling shield.
it reduces the draft coming in, reflects lighting to make the space brighter, and also kicks the rising heat back to the room.
best part is, the materials all can be reused in your rebuild. It is also helpful to sleep on top of it, forms vapor barrier and kicks your body heat back to you.
if you can not buy reflectix, white or silver tarp can also work to a lesser extent.
well wishes!
cheers 🌻🌟
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Love, your suggestions! Martijn, will probably have many of us offering suggestions. That's a wonderful thing about CZcams, we all get to share information and learn from each other 🐬💦
ITALIAN ALPS EPISODE 2. No thanks This is a recipe for lonlinees. Its hard enough to find trustable people and hiding away from most folks or 'opting out' is the ultimate in selfishness. I was just like this character but then met someone who was psychic. It took him ten yrs to turn me around. If that has not happened to you you dont stand a chance of understanding it. By the way U/t and the other media hads been destroying our texts asnd asll our web sites are destroyed thats how much this society dreads truth. reality.fact. We are being attacked by u knowq who on behalf of u know who. The public? they dont mind either way long as their kids pass exams and the new kitchen arrives. The story is carefully stored. One day the truth will be made known.But at the moment the UK pess has it boxed in. 2.5 million people watch and subscribe to violent movies on one site alone. Thats as much as we can enter on here without it being destroyed. No change in 10.000 yrs.Got to go the 'News'i s on.By the way try being ill in that location and you will end up praying for help. We cant get any in a highly poulated area.Cheerio.

@@emmabenedek646 Martijn, is helping to populate, the mountain. That could one day, put him in a place - to help other people. From his videos, he's also shown he's very self sufficient. So much so, he's even survived and thrived, riding a bike - throughout many parts of the world. Where his settling down, might be that he's hoping to start his own family. That would provide him, a larger support system. Martijn has also gotten to know his closest neighbor, has internet access, or at least a small town nearby. And unlike extroverts, some of us thrive in solitude. With us being more likely to survive, all of the foolishness happenings - going on in many cities right now.
I'm in awe of your little spot of heaven and inspired by what you're doing.
This priest looks fantastic! Nice neighbor...
thank you for Tony Anderson, i think one of the best composer of our time)
What a beautiful cabin your neighbour has! I love how he ‘created light’ by making the inside walls mostly plaster with a few rocks exposed. Lovely.
Martin the priest has a wonderful garden! It’s nice to have a neighbor!
What’s the name of his channel?
kathmedia (Deutsch)
@@aydesai Danke
I just love the silence, please keep the silence, Such a lovely sound, punctuated by what you do. Just love the quietness, like I'm just sitting with you watching. Silence is golden. biz
amen
Martin, in Alaska, the hunters would jam moss from the trees in the cracks of their cabins to keep the heat in. Then in the summer months they would make a mud using the local dirt, water, and moss, mix together to put in the cracks before winter came again.
Just a heads up. Some moss grow incredibly slow and play an important role in the ecosystem. It might not actually be legal to remove it. We have much harder environmental laws in Europe than in the US so Martijn should definingly look it up before he does anything that can put him in trouble with the legal system.
@@mangethegamer
I wasn't expecting such a tight leash in a place that appears to be 'the paradise." I guess there is no getting away from bureaucracy anywhere on this planet!
Martijn and Fr. Johannes - two of my favorite off-the-grid vloggers. It's a great life if you are strong and healthy.
I’m amazed not only by the amount of work involved but that you took the time to do such a great job of filming the progress. So many different angle shots must have added to your work day.
I am in upstate New York, upper end of the Appalachian Plateau. I love the old stone structures. A lot of old stone houses to the south in Pennsylvania. I watch a lot of videos of abandoned homesteads in Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy. Abandoned, as people left for cities and jobs. It is great to see people return, less concerned about money and wanting to return to a less hectic way of life. Grow your own food, be self sufficient, work hard, enjoy nature, and escape the chaos of urban cities. I love watching sunsets from my hilltop property, procuring firewood, and just having a relaxing walk in our woods in the summer under the canopy of the leaves, a break from the sun and heat of summer.
I'm mesmerised. thank you for showing both the beauty and the harshness, and being honest about it all. and that bialetti calling for a coffee break! 😅❤
What a nice project! Great buy. As a kid whose family had 65 acres with a private lake to play on I can understand this solitude - what you internalise never leaves you.
As a woman in this field tho I must advise other women - the camaraderie will not apply to you in your project. Before undertaking something like this find a very good lawyer, take 20 cards & hand them out to anyone you deal with, especially on early days, with comment ‘if there are any problems pls phone xyz as they understand language & rules better than I do’. It will still be hard but you will come out of it in 1 piece.
I have been watching for a couple of weeks and I have so many questions and thoughts about this adventure in Italy. The video work is excellent and the editing and audio is very balanced and pleasing even with so little speaking. Martijn you are a natural.
Those corduroy pants! Who even makes those anymore? Those bring back swooshy memories of being a kid in the 70`s lol!
This is interesting and fun to watch. I hope you keep making videos showing the renovation of this house and life around there
Sir, I hope seeing what the priest man has accomplished in 3 yrs will be a HUGE encouragement to you. If at any time you get disheartened I strongly suggest you pay him a visit , and do that every time, si you don't give up. Sometimes at the beginning of a project we think we are going to overcome everything but time and circumstances can eat away at us etc.
absolutely true words and good advice
Do you know if the priest bought it or is renting it?
@@larazegers797 I am pretty sure he said he bought it . He may have said that on Kirsten Dirksen's channel .. she devotes the whole vlog to him and what he did....
@@ValeriaVincentSancisi Thank you!
Lucky you to have don Johannes as a neighbour!
Ha, I love picking my homegrown salads for lunch too, I bet he’s going to be a great neighbor!
I would leave some of the younger birch trees though, because when the old ones die, you won't have any and birches are very useful in various ways. Also, you need some trees to give you shelter from wind and birches are not so dense that they make a lot of shade. So, cherish them! And that bush beside the house you pruned? Looks like Elder to me. If it is, then one day you could make a lemonade from the flowers! Or a soup from the berries.
Or jam or even wine if you find enough of them.
Comments under videos like these are always cool since so many people with so much different experience share their knowledge and ideas.
Can certainly see the value of southern exposure...
The challenges will be overwhelming sometimes, a truck load of patience will help you get to all your goals, and will be a sign of complete self reliance.
He reminds me of a beaver or bird working on a nest or dam.
Wonderful to work on ur own abode and see your progress!
Peace n harmony. That is the life I would like. With some neighbours near by. Just to appreciate the land that God has given to us is lovely there. The barn will look good when finished. Just remember..one thing t a time or one room at a time then u can have a rest n move to the next room. U feel u have accomplished alot doing it that way
I love the fact that he has a drone. Adds so much to this wonderful experience. I have falled down this rabbit hole of an adventure with delight!! He has some serious skills. I wish he would list the temperature of the nights when he moved into town. Would be very interesting to know.
I like these 2 men as well the priest.
Both living best life .
I just love the fact at every turn there hidden little gems like steps and hidden underneath the grass/dirt there are nice slabs etc
Just exciting to watch it progress
People take basic things for granted and have it easy really where as this guy just bought a shell and made it liveable and loveable
I discovered this channel about 6 months🎉 ago and this vlog just showed up in my feed. So nice that it showed up so I could appreciate the amazing transformation from the early days to today! It’s so nice to watch such a creative, intelligent, articulate and hardworking person!
*Middle of a discussion*
"Oh, that's the Coffee". Runs off, comes back, continues discussion.
This scene really resonated with me.
You are strong and brave to take on such a project.
Remember to not look at this as daily work, but a pure privilege to be standing where you are.
Kind regards and best of luck, hugs from grandma j.
Amazing location! Can't wait to see more progress the next few years.

Found your channel through madam kirsten,,and during the interview i've notice the serinity and calmness of your place, you have a lot of task to be done and i like it....new subs here from the 🇵🇭.....
You that is how I found the channel too
What is this Madam Kirsten channel? Ty.
@@wildzwaan look for Kirsten Dirksen. Worth it!
@@wildzwaan Kirsten Dirksen; she does lots of videos about people doing this kind of thing. She has made a video about Martijn - "He Was a Bike Nomad. Now Revamping Stone Cottage."
She also did a feature on the priest.
@@Robert_Hermigua Ah right, thanks!
Love that you don’t speed things up for CZcams. Slow TV is the best. Slow and steady ~ beautiful 💖 And a visit with Johannes! Awesome 👏🏼
Johannes has his own YT channel! He explains the catholic faith to a broad audience! So wild to spot him in your videos. Love this
Lovely to watch. It is really satisfying. Thank you for letting us be a part of your wonderfull journey in the mountains
Wow, Remember the roof you can change only with people. Don't do it alone. Martijn, Good Luck!
That is a fabulous box Emma. Even I’m tempted to get it 😆 Connie at Ceebees Colouring and Craft has done a couple of zentangle videos instead of colouring. She also did a “zentangled” fish page for the Kerby event.
Grazie di quello che fai per la casa, per la storia. Stiamo abbandonando tutto ció che é difficile fare. E chi ancora lo fa raramente é una persona gentile come te.
I love my Priests. God bless you, Father Johannes.
Hello Sir! You make hanging a door look rather easy! Best of luck with your project!
So innovative with the space. I love the mini greenhouse the priest created. Honestly, as I'm watching I keep thinking, "Hey, let me help you with that." I applaud that you're doing this alone because a second pair of hands would help. Of course, this way you don't have to talk to anyone ... you just silently get it done.
I've been the same! Itching to give him a lift with a slab of stone, or manoeuvring that big door. I'm a 72 yr old woman but I could certainly help with some things.
STUNNING BEGINING,
GOD'S ENERGY, MARTIJN DOORLARD 🙏🙏
🤝🌞🌍❄️🔥👐
Aha our Priest whom I met some time ago, with a interviewer, videoing his life in the Italian Mountains. He too has an awesome existence which I love. So hoping the goal is getting a wee bit closer...mmm wondering winter could be awful good luck.
I love this! I’d live to be able to do something like this in my life but will have to settle for doing it vicariously through you. That stone work in the buildings is amazing too. I live in an area south of Nashvile, Tennesse that is loaded with stone that would be great to build a house out of. I’ll have to settle for dreaming about it.
Yeah, that is a beautiful area. Some good hiking and camping that way too.
Martijn, you are the best out of all the influencers that are doing remote projects. The quality of the videos, the progress, the details everything is perfect. Thank you for this content brother, truly. I can't imagine how hard and time consuming it was to do all the work AND film, cut, post etc. So again, thank you for your hard work and for bringing this to us
Love watching your videos….so relaxing,entertaining and informative. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Truly admire your efforts and your taking the time in sharing. 💚 Best wishes from another off grid live alone, from New Zealand.
Wow Howard, where are you in New Zealand? I am there too
@@ivydickson7596 hi Ivy I am down south, in the Taieri Gorge. 😊
What a wonderful project--or rather life that you are living! I'm here in the outskirts of Los Angeles, CA and I built two tiny houses in my back yard. Each took a year to build, even though the nearest builders' materials place is just a mile from my house and I have an ample arsenal of tools at my disposal; however, in your situation, you have to practically haul your materials up the mountainside. I applaud that you are practically starting from the "ground up" so to speak and I wish you the biggest blessings in all of your endeavors.
I will definitely keep on watching your channel as you progress with your journey. You're fantastic!
From Pasadena and now retired in Germany since 2001 . Greetings.
Amazing journey, I am a bit envious ✌️
Hey Martijn, I'm learning a lot from your videos. You really have to want to do something like this to make it successful. An alternative would be to simply tarp the exterior, mylar the interior and remove as you complete the work phases? Basically transform the house into a tent. It's commonly done in the RV community for winter kit, bc most RVs have no insulation or very little. You can also make "insulation pillows" for the windows by wrapping styrofoam cubes (bought or created) wrapped in mylar. The Ukrainian military are also using mylar (in the denser form of automotive dashboard reflector folding material) as winter insulation in their trenches. Bright blessings from Louisiana.

Hi Martin! Thank you for sharing this journey. I love watching. ❣️
I’m glad to know there are two of them on the hill even though they are on two different sides. you know in case of emergency at least someone is there. good to know.
Serene and calm is how I feel watching this video. It actually slows me down. And that’s because of the beautiful countryside and your approach to your work. Loved it and I look forward to watching all your vids.
So.. in Portugal, the thing with the geometra is more or less the same.. but we do it like this: 1st we make the big changes of an old house in a field or something and only after that we call the architect of the municipality to see if we can change a door or a window, and then they will come, they will say you can't change anything and register all the modifications you made previously. There is no record on old houses.
Your home will be so much better remaining with it's own integrity (windows and doors).. It's beautifully built. looking forward to seeing you tackle the roof!
Oh yeah. I jist saw an interview with that preist. His place is beautiful. It is amazing what he did with his garden.
Unbelievable. My back aches in commiseration but I’m amazed at everything you can do and figure out. The interior is beautiful even by the end of episode 1. Cheers and thank you for sharing!
Remember you will have voltage drop the longer your power cords are from solar and battery, shorter distance between all means more power 👍
Great delivery Martijn, your style, pace and detail are enjoyable to watch. All projects require planning to a lesser or greater degree, so it is interesting to hear about your thought process and research. Best regards, Ian a British Building Surveyor living and working in SEA.
Well said!
I have watched the compilations but i am going to watch these again from start to current!😍
Thanks for making these, they're so relaxing to watch, and it's good to see someone living the dream!
Johannes you are amazing I wish I had the skills and know-how to build a peaceful cabin like you are. Beautiful I will keep watching bsafe
im italian.. here in italy laws are very easy to avoid... your house is so old there are no plans in the italian office... just make your window bigger... keep it like this.. if an officer come to visit your house. just say it was on old window.
Praticamente gli stai dando il consiglio che in Italia può facilmente raggirare la legge e mentire spudoratamente ed è accettabile. Bravo , complimenti. Sei sicuramente abituato a delinquere e ti sembra normale farlo . Però non si sa mai chi legge i commenti e potrebbe fare un rapportino a chi di dovere , poi le conseguenze le paghi tu 😌👍

Scrivi roba come "here in Italy" e vuoi anche l'applauso? Non sono gli altri ad essere perbenisti, se tu che non hai senso morale. Un contaballe piccino picciò, come tanti altri.
Sunshine makes all around so beautiful.
Acording to sunrise location, your cabin faces north or little bit north-west. Very rough. For solar panels the best is to be 90deg to solar rays - rotating platform for panels or at least tilting platform would be good project for maximizing charge.
I whish you good luck with the italian burocracy... and prepare yourself to be very very very patient... burocracy in Italy is... well, it is the biggest problem we have here, cost a fortune and slow down everything... but the place looks nice, so at the end you will have a place to enjoy quite life
You are so brave on taking on a project like this !! Great job !
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to meet your neighbor too.
Wish I was there helping , the view and your devotion to restoring is so inspiring to watch. Stay safe on this journey👍😇
I love the tranquility and your ‘sounds of silence’…….blissful.
Benvenuto in Piemonte!
In the US, I might have to get a simple building permit or have a city inspection here and there, but generally, I was left alone. In Turin, we had a bunch of work to turn an office apartment back into a residence. We *had* to get a geometra even though I'm not sure what he actually did.
That said, I have to admit that Italians tend to build things to last and the tradesmen we've hired have been excellent and fast. If you do have anyone come in to perform jobs, just get around 3 quotes. We've seen huge spreads on estimates (though we suspect that some of them are inflated because I'm a straniero).
I've not been to Val Pellice, but my wife's family has had a place in Val Chisone for ages. Good luck!

Dear Martijn, Thank you for taking the time to document and share your experiences. I'm really looking forward to seeing more. Best of luck with everything you're doing!
I can't wait to follow you on this journey. I lived in north Italy for 15 years. Beautiful location you have chosen.
Tanti saluti e buona fortuna.
I’ve a feeling this build is going to be a lot different to others I’ve seen, just in the amount of work that needs to be done. Looking forward to the progression brother 🙏🏼
Love your place, beautiful scenery, breathtaking views, valleys and mountains. .. wow! It's priceless to live there.
I would love too. I've been watching you the first day you build your cabin house... awesome! ❤❤❤
omg the priest visit was everything for me, you guys look so happy living your (mine) dreams. I wonder if you are going to make your intern walls like his, cant wait to see if you already planted something too.
Eagerly watching your progress. From La Paz, BCS, Mexico, We will start our home here this year.
I love this channel. I'm so envy of the opportunity to live in such a place.
Maybe find a strip of rubber flange for base of new door to stop the mice getting under…they can squeeze in anywhere…love your show…
You might want to burn the ends of the poles that are put in the ground. They last much longer.
Was about to mention the same: About the construction poles you hit to a ground in this video. I understand they maybe just for a temporary / short term use. Anyway, maybe in the future, I would recommend you to burn/char/carbonise the poles with a fire of a part that goes underground and little more above off the ground. With this technique poles will last much longer, because they rot slower and insects etc. will not like them that much.
It’s really enjoy to watching what you doing and the beautiful view…..what lovely human being! God bless you!
Hello Martijn. I was thinking about what you was talking about cold at night and how cold it is when you sleep and i think you could make a very very basic wooden wall just an inch thick and create a tiny box/room small enough to put inside the tent you sleeping in and the woodstove as it is. Doesnt need the wall to reach the roof , it can go till the upper edge of walls where the woodstove is and put another horizontal piece of wood as a roof so you dont need to seal any holes about wind. So you know, its like a box 4 steps by 2 steps and get very warm in there so you can sleep at night very nice. I think that is what i would do for start so i can keep warm. So if you cant seal the whole room make a smaller room in it .
That was my thought. Box bed. Its traditional way to have warm sleepingspot in cold stone house. To keep all the house warm is harder. Thick stone walls have huge thermal mass and they are nearly impossible to warm up in winter when not insulated from inside. Only way of heating that keeps such room comfortable is floor heating. Traditional hypocaust would be most suiting because there is not enough electricity for heatpump+ water floorheating.
