#156 The Room I Never Speak About

I am on my own this week, Ela is away for work. I'm extending plumbing towards the other room and re-organize so I can take the old wooden floor out.

Support the renovation project:

Love that you don't have constant music. We can hear birds, the crunching of snow, the chickens etc. Beautiful, serene place.

Every once in a while I remember that, before Martijn does anything...he has to set up a camera, light the shot and maybe do what ever he is doing a couple of times to get the scene he wants! THEN he gets to dig out a cellar.

[sandysmith]

It's comforting to think that even Martiijn has/had a "junk drawer", a place to shove stuff until "later".

[trevorhughes]

Martijn isn’t just building a cabin; he’s crafting a dream, one frame at a time. The patience, the solitude, the sheer determination—it’s like watching poetry unfold in slow motion. Who else feels like they’re living vicariously through every shot?

[Hiphopapottamoose]

Martijn is an absolute machine!! All that digging and then dragging out and carrying slabs of rock up those stairs to add to the pile. Strong as an ox just like his father! Nothing but respect for Doolaard work ethic ❤❤

[merricc]

La domenica non è la domenica senza Martijn e le Alpi 🙂

[karawilhelm]

The comments on this site are routinely charming, sweet, inspiring, encouraging. I hope Martijn has time to read some of them and that they refresh his soul.

[johnsutherland]

The drone footage of your mountain are amazing and the hard work you put into this home is inspiring martijn never miss you every Sunday makes my week

[abigailgerlach]

Happy Sunday one and all! I hope the day is warm, sunny, relaxing, and filled with joy!

[AndreaDetroit]

I've been watching for several years now and really look forward to Sunday mornings when I can watch your newest video. The painting you're working on is absolutely beautiful! You're a man of many talents 😁

[janehodgetts]

Have you noticed you say we now not I. It's a great thing to have someone special to share your dreams with.

[lindabrooks]

You can tell how much Martjin's chickens love him by all the eggs they gift him. He obviously has a big, beautiful heart❤

Door te leven op deze plek ben je je constant bewust een onderdeel te zijn van een groter geheel. Dat maakt dat je alles beter in proporties ziet. En het geeft ruimte aan je creativiteit. Ik benijd je Martijn! Dank voor je geweldige content. Liefs vanuit Nederland.

[brown-eyedgirl]

The MD full compliment: stunning landscapes, digging out a floor, measuring boards to finish the greenhouse, catching rays on the slate outcropping, collecting eggs from the hens, crafting handmade pizzas, painting his masterpiece, spring cleaning littered cabin floors, and a trip to the mill to pick up wood beams! 💃🏻🙏🏻🌟 🙏🏻 Inspired, delighted, and grateful! Thank you for sharing your life w/ us, Martijn! 🥰

[chelsealeonardbaum]

Thank you for every single Sunday. ❤❤❤

[kolmasaika]

Thank you Martijn for your videos. Since my daughter was born a bit over two years ago, your Sunday videos have been my very own moment of chill. They have allowed me to have a little bit of my own relaxed time in otherwise very busy life.

For the last couple of weeks it has been even better. Turns out my daughter likes your videos as well, and has no problem at all concentrating in those for the whole duration. She especially likes the chickens. We have been watching the videos together now, and the videos have grown even more important to me. So thank you once more, and greetings from Finland.

[howardbarber]

Love the bird sounds and nature sounds, so peaceful.

[ElizabethPollardAus]

My favourite time of the week, watching Martijn do his thing. Greetings to everyone watching from NSW, Australia ❤

[John-xms]

Martijn, Appreciate the fact that you give us natural sounds, and when Music is introduced you choose soothing, comforting Classical selections!👏

To be honest, i haven't bin watching Mr. Doolaard's videoes in a while, and i see now coming back, that i was numb over time, and lost some appreciation for the extremely high production quality. WOW i'am blown away by the overall quality of the production. All the best to my fellow viewers and mr. Doolaard
