    My husband has dementia. Thank goodness I discovered your channel. He watches it all day and I do my tasks while I hear chickens clucking, people working, sounds of nature. He was an amateur woodworker and builder and really identifies with you and what you do.
    We restored an old farm in the Dordogne, so everything looks familiar.What beautiful surroundings you have and such magnificent work. Thank you.

    It is amazing how your chickens follow your around and know when they are in your way. They much be a lot of company to you especially when they seem to be trying to communicate. Your woodworking skills are always impressive Martijn, I especially like the contrast between the different kinds of wood. The project you are building is very nice. Your walk to the river was finding Mother Nature at her best, powerful and beautiful. One much respect the present of rushing water. In our country this year has been a bad year for floods. Many area have been devastated by floods and to much rain. Hope the week coming up will be a little drier . Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

      My home backs onto farmland here in Warwickshire, haven't heard a cuckoo here in the last seven or eight years. Hedgerow depletion by the farmers and overuse of pesticides. Crows no longer classed as vermin so can't be shot - result they move close to the houses and kill all the small birds in their nests. Stewards of the countryside ????

They all had individual characters, particular friends, special places: one always came and sat on my knee when I sat in the garden to have my morning coffee. At night several sat with their wings over their neighbour and I used to stand and listen to them chatting as they fell asleep. such mistreated and undervalued animals.

    Great episode, as usual, with fine carpentry, faithful and affectionate chicken interlude, and your mentioning the background growl of the river. Thank you for that because it brought back a dim and almost forgotten memory of when I worked in Yellowstone National Park during the summers. There, like your Alpine 'roar', the Firehole river played a constant rumble in the background on a daily basis to where you almost didn't hear it anymore. It was when we went out of the park for shopping or whatever that you noticed it being no longer there and you couldn't wait to get back to its constant song. It's enticing and being away from it for 62 years it still sings in the depths of my memories. And you brought it back to me with this episode and I am eternally grateful. Thank you.

    Perhaps consider making a long 18"×16' iron firewood rack with iron support bars every 12" to 18" so it can easily bear the weight, to keep the firewood off of the ground and just mere inches away from the stone wall of your amazing home. This aids in preventing insect infestation, rodent habitation, etc..
    My father did this and it served him well for the remainder of his life. My brother lives there now and it is still serving his family well.
    I also find that wooden door so beautiful, warm, and inviting to look at. What a wonderful find and piece of work.
    I am so moved by your love and care for your chickens. I, too, have hens. Besides giving me eggs for meals, they actually enjoy my company, follow me around, and talk to me. Such awesome little creatures.

    I agree with @sahlaamorris. I have watched this channel since the beginning. It is by far my favorite UA-cam channel; hands down. I realize now that the channel is not about the Italian Alps, a creative artist / photographer, an antique house restorer or a world traveler and documentarian. It is about a man and his chickens. He has made these adoreable chickens into media stars. They follow Martijn around like puppies, they talk to him and the evoke such emotion!!!! This channel has everything: drama, evocotive landscape, the strong silent lead man and most of all his adoring chickens LOL !!!!!! Keep it up; I love it Martijn.

    You have done beautiful work on the panels. I have learned something helpful with the pegging. Like you, I would always wipe away the excess glue with my finger. But I was shown a better way, to let the glue extrusions dry untouched. They then easily come off with a flat chisel and require little sanding. The risk with wiping comes from the likelihood of the glue staining the surrounding wood from a smear. And you don't notice it until you put down stain, further complicating the job of removal. A valuable lesson. Bedtime is such a pleasant moment after a long day. When you lay down your head, gazing around at that magnificent firewall, the stone and the panels, you heart must brim with satisfaction and comfort. You have made home so beautifully. Much love ❤️
