hello everyone, there was a problem with the previous upload. It contained some shots where I was watching the semi finals football game between Netherlands and England, and I wasn't aware that it was going to be flagged as copyrighted content. The part has been edited out.
Your closing segment riding your bike was my favorite in this video. Your chickens hit the jackpot having you as their caretaker, and your greenhouse is gorgeous. Every Sunday, I feel blessed. Thank you, Martijn!
I am inspired every weekend by something wonderful that comes out of Martijn's brain and hands. In particular, when he has to re-do something that won't cooperate... like that one pane of greenhouse glass that wouldn't sit right until he shaved down its frame. Admirable persistence = beautiful results.
Love the aerial shots and being able to see the homesteads below along with the hills. Everything is so green. You selected a beautiful property and have made it more beautiful. Love seeing the chickens running around and foraging. The birds singing is wonderful. Your blogs start each of my weeks with beauty, peace and joy. Thank you!
The best channel on you tube. I’m old but I’m coming to Italia nothing surer you are an amazing man. Your parents and family must be so proud of you. Lovely man. ❤
"Finials" sounds good because what's in Dutch a "makelaar" is in English a "realtor" :-). Which would be a very bad and not fitting translation for this gable end detail.
Thank you, Martijn. The greenhouse is beautiful. One man working in the rain. I marvel at what he can do. Greetings and blessings to all the community who come here.
Your green house is beautifully well done. I cant imagine sitting in side looking at those majestic mountains from there. How lucky you are. Have a great week.
The greenhouse is stunning and I was happy to see the chickens out and about.The new bike seems quite speedy. I so look forward to this every week. Thank you for being an oasis of peace in a chaotic time.
That greenhouse is a thing of beauty for sure. And I'm certain the fence will be as well, in spite of the extreme amount of work entailed. You're one of the most hardworking humans on RU-vid - not just hard working but with an artist's eye and an engineer's caution.
agreed, most artful 🌬 but I'm worried ! We know there are HUGE winter storms, great winds, and major (heavy) snow-fall events in the area. 🏔 Sorry if this has already been discussed, but how will y'all protect the new greenhouse ? 🥶Is there to be some sort of winterisation - partial dismantling, windbreaks, wood-covering the glass etc ? ❄- I guess there's good reason why the ancestors chose to build their mountain shelters in heavy, durable stone.
@@rickmcdixon2675 I,ve lived in the alps all my life (1.600 m) and I've noticed that the glasses Martijn mount have a good thickness and considering the long time he wait for receiving it I can imagine he had ordered anti-crash model. The poles are in the ground and is really difficult that a winter storm or a wind storm can destroy them. The most fragile parts are the windows he uses for the side areas, but only for the glasses mounted that are for civilians homes and not for a greenhouse use. The maximum that can happen is that one or two of that glasses can break with a very limited damage that will be really fast solved
My dad built a Greenhouse years ago.. he grew all kinds of stuff in it. In the winter he would sit in it on cold days. As long as it was sunny it was warm in there.. I remember the great earthy smell in it.. He passed in 2006.
Martin you are a master at filming, editing and mixing in the most wonderful music. Not to mention those amazing drone shots. You bring a quiet peace to my home each Sunday. Thank you so much. 💗👍😊🇨🇦
Thanx was a great visit. The greenhouse looks super smart. Your plants are happy they're gonna give you a good harvest. In 60/70 years people are going to walk past this place and say this man knew what he was doing👌👌👌
Has anyone else noticed that these videos seem to move so slowly, and at the same time are over way too soon? Beautiful. Thank you for being the high point of our weeks. 😊
I thought I was going dolally. (Easy at my age!) I saw the notification on my phone, flipped on my laptop, and nothing! Decided I had done something wrong! (Easy at my age!) Thank goodness you are back!
Interesting to read some of the comments and realize other people were a bit panicked too when Martijn didn't arrive on time! I always worry about you being up there by yourself and riding your bike on those scary roads! My stomach just clenched when I saw that road. But, I'm so happy that my Sunday is now complete with my dose of Martijn. Thanks for a lovely visit.
Your green house is spectacular and the drone shot of you cycling and the end shot of you looking out across the valley while seated on your bike was the finishing touch. Thank you once again for such a beautiful, relaxing and enjoyable video Martijn. Have a lovely week.
@@TheScarletprimrose Many drones have a built-in autopilot mode that allows them to follow a selected subject completely handsfree, such as martin on his bike, or hiking on a trail, or driving his suv up the mountain road.
Makelaars are usually seen in Nordic fishing towns as the word means to tie the roof together. It is the sign of hope, faith, and love. Other parts of the world use different symbols and religious signs, from the tortoise to whales or little Buddhas. The greenhouse became beautiful. It is quite the rainy season, eh. Colder than usual and so much rain.
I’ll never be bored of hearing the cowbells.It’s the introduction to my Martin meditation and blood pressure lowering half hour. Your music choice was particularly fitting today, I loved it. Thank you dear lad.
A greenhouse on the mountains? That sounds awesome! Anyway, I am new on this channel and what i love most of all your build and property is the picnic table! I mean, to be eating or simply lounging on it watching the sunrise or sunset bathe the mountains plus a breeze would be gorgeously awesome!😍😍😍😍😍
Du hast Dir da ein wunderschönes stückchen Erde mit tollen Häuschen zugelegt. Ein Traum !! Bewundere immer die einzigartige Umgebung. Und natürlich Deine Fähigkeiten.
The decorative elements often found at the top of gables or the ends of roof ridges on buildings, the term “makelaars”, we would call these "gable finials" or "gable decorations/gable ornaments", “roof finals/roof ornaments”, sometimes also referred to as “gable spires”. The greenhouse is looking beautiful with the fitted glazing panels 🌱
I was just about to post the same information when I saw you'd already done it! I hope Martjin realizes the serene pleasure his videos impart weekly: my Sunday morning espresso, a walk to see the chickens, and that restful panorama of craggy peaks suspended in dreamy mist. Lovely.
The "makelaar" in Dutch is the centre vertical structural piece in a truss. The ornamental piece on the outside at the ends of the roof is called a "gevelteken" in Dutch.
Depending on the time of day I watch your video I have to make sure I’ve eaten. Everything you prepare looks delicious. If I have not it will make my stomach growl in resentment. You are a man of many talents. BTW You’re greenhouses is a work of art.
The greenhouse looks amazing! The chickens look very healthy and happy. Please tell Johannes we miss him and hope to see you together for a delicious meal soon. Thank you.
Martijn. Every time I watch u, it's a blessing. Your skills are amazing. Your lovely ideas are amazing. God has your back to teach the world in a special way. Lovely greenhouse. And a lovely man u are.😊
Good morning Martijn. The greenhouse looks wonderful. I have enjoyed watching the process of building it. Although it is not quite finished, it looks great. The plants inside seem to be enjoying it. Look forward to next week. Stay safe.
Beautiful greenhouse, Martijn - beauty all around you. I had an eventful day and therefore had to wait until this evening for my dose of Italy with Martijn. It was a great way to end my Sunday. Pleasant dreams everyone. Let's all pray that those less fortunate may find peace enough to sleep. Thank you, Martijn.
👋👏👏ciao Martijn,buona domenica a tutti! Con i vetri che monti hai finito il tuo ulteriore capolavoro,è entusiasmante vedere crescere intorno a te le tue creazioni,è una serra stupenda,buon lavoro Martijn e grazie per i bei momenti che ci regali❤
Martijn - please consider wearing a leather apron while debarking the trees. I worry when I see you do this, with the blade coming so close to your midsection. I am sure the leather apron would come in handy for some of your other projects as well. My grandfathers always had these on hand in their tool shed. ♥🙏
Great job on the greenhouse.. The plants will do well in there. Like your idea of having coffee in there when it gets cooler---that area of the property is definitely the best. Good to see you on a bike again. Enjoy your holiday.
How the chickens follow you around is so humorous! I love watching them. Your greenhouse is so well made and beautiful! Great job. I hope the workshop is next.
Bike helmets do, at times, double as an umbrella. I see you made it work. Greenhouse looks beautiful. We call them finials in English. Chickens are looking healthy and well. Glad things are going well for you. Just FYI in 'new soil' (engineered soil in a raised bed) it is ALWAYS a rough first year of growing. Sometimes a little Mycorrhizal fungi can really help because regular soil already has a complex web of life in it that has been established for thousands, if not millions of years. Anytime I plant something out or have 'new soil' I dust it with Mycorrhizal to help establish the web of life and bring living soil to the plants. Plants actually don't 'eat fertilizer' they eat the chemical byproducts of the web of life operating in the soil.
Martijn.You did a good Job on the Greenhouse you said you still have to finish it.And you are doing your Fence with some help from your friends.That is great i can't wait to see it Done i know it will be So, So, So Beautiful.Be Proud of all the Work you have Done.And with Friends helping you along the way.Thank you for Posting.Have a blessed day.Raquel.Keep being kind Like always.Martjin.Thank you.Rsquel.
Thank you for this lovely video, Martijn. It made me fondly remember a summer trip to Italy twenty years ago with my sister. I really needed this today.
Thank you for taking me to your beautiful part of Italy from the heat of Arizona. The monsoons have begun here, finally. The greenhouse is so lovely. You have the happiest flock of chickens and now you will have the happiest plants fertilized by them.
I also was up Early, to watch your video, but .. nope. I’m so glad you got it worked out. My Sundays wouldn’t be the same without coffee and your video
finial is the word for ornamental cover but it also prevents water ingress to a point, what a lovely greenhouse so success with the crops to come martijn top job
The green house looks just as pictured. Very nice. Hope you enjoy your vacation at Lake Maggiore. My mom and I loved visiting the lush gardens on Isola Bella. The unicorn statue there is a favorite of mine.
I love watching each episode I just wish they were a little longer. I have learnt immense amountof things watching you . Cheers keep upthe awesome work . Youre a legend .
I wish had a lovely Greenhouse like yours. So beautifully built. The views of the Alps is absolutely amazing. It must be wonderful to cycle in the mountsuns. Hope you have a good week..
Thank you for the edit upload. What a terrific greenhouse, you have given me an idea for my own garden. Australian gardens often don’t need them. Want my 🍅🫛in the winter 🤣
We stumbled upon Lago Maggiore when looking into interesting train trips; the slow train Centovalli from Brig to Domodossola to Locarno looking interesting, so we just took a chance. We fell in love with Locarno and go as often as we can, it's just a delightful area of the world! Have a wonderful trip!
Your greenhouse is just stunning. It will be incredible in winter. I imagine you will be building more of those. Here in South Africa, it’s too hot. So I will gratefully use your inspiration and dig a semi submerged conservatory like my grandmother had on the farm. Cool in summer, warm in winter. Much love and thanks for your beautiful and artistic videos.
Hi Martijn.Thank God everything Worked Out good for you.And i Pray you didn't get in Trouble about anything else.And i am Happy you got to Put Out a Video.Thank you Martijn.Raquel.
Martijn what a beautiful home you have there-I love watching you build the next project-your green house is a beautiful place-you are such a talented man-I'm impressed by all you have done in the last three years-every once in a while you must stop and enjoy the beautiful area around you-May the rest of your day go well-Sincerely Barb Adams.
Hi Martin from Lago Maggiore. 30C here today. While on your mountain, the hills are alive with the sound of cows and goats. Greenhouse looks great !!!!! Don't forget to pop in here and say hi when you have your weekend here in Maggiore. Tot Siens
Well, I am concerned about whether a cow, a goat, or any other animal can enjoy having that constant noise in its ears. We have an anthropocentric and arrogant view that what we like MUST be liked by the rest of the animal world.
Snowdon in wales. Reminded of hiking the ridges. If only the author john mcphee had taken a close look at your terrain. Most wonderful video of your mountains! Many thanks!
Hi Martijn, I watch other homesteaders building videos which are great. But I love yours the most because you are so calm and methodical plus your meals always look delicious 😋 Your greenhouse is beautiful 😍
Finally you are seeing the value of your remarkable noggin ...... as it is the first time I have seen you with a helmut while biking ....... Alan Boston
