The digging works have started. Some sad news around the chicken coop. Thijmen en Rick help out for a few days and I'm polishing up an old oak table.

    I watched your video’s when i had a hernia. And now i saw my own son Rick - the one with shoes 😀- working with you. So nice to see him having a realy good time.

    I'm glad the barefoot guy was wearing gloves while working with heavy stones.
  • I've never been so worried about toes in my life! Congratulations on kick-off of new project, Martijn! Excited for you and us!
  • Suggestion, an old tire works well in the chicken yard mix sand, wood ash and diatimous earth together and the chickens will have a dust bath. Regards from Texas

    Brownie lived a life most chickens only dream of. Poor Whitey survived a dog attack and still standing. Thank you for sharing your life with us each week.

    Sunday evenings on Australia's Gold Coast ..... kitchen is clean, my hair is washed and blow dried, uniform ready for the morning, my egg sandwich ready to go and now for my cup of tea and Martijn's weekly update . All is well in the world

    I had a friend who never ever wore shoes and did a fair amount of labouring work. It's terrifying to us shoe-normies but he still has all his toes. They're another breed, the shoe-refuseniks.

    I'm sorry that Brownie the chicken 🐔 died They all are like family. Animals are special it's sad to lose one 🐾💔🐾

    I could sense, feel the energy as the focus turned to the larger cabin. So much of this is a blank canvas. I didn't want this episode to end. Thank you, Martin. Greetings to all the Community.

    RESEARCH Guess: "Discovering a deceased hen in a nest box typically results from sudden death syndrome, often stemming from heart failure. This syndrome occurs when a hen lays two eggs consecutively, placing significant strain on her to produce sufficient calcium for both eggs. Consequently, the depletion of calcium in her blood leaves insufficient supply to sustain the requirements of her heart, leading to a fatal heart attack for the hen." Plus. it is really hot... Still. I would have had a vet check the corps to know for sure... "When you walk barefoot on grass, it has been shown to reduce stress levels by a significant 62 percent." Lots of work started this week... Awesome Martijn and crew!
  • Martijn.Sorry to hear your Chicken Die.I know you Loved them and they Love you because they follow you around your Land.And you took good care of them all.Thank you Raquel.
  • Skilled helpers. When he caressed the door, I melted. It's rare who notices this. (I am writing with a translator, I hope it translates well.)
  • My 90 year old mom loves you and keeps up with your videos. Thank you for bringing her so much joy. ❤
  • @dc21771
    This episode really moved me. Difficult to put into words, but there's a sense of calmness, teamwork, and nostalgia all rolled into something. Loved it!
  • How sad. So sorry about Brownie chicken. I hope you can figure out what happened and solve the problem before the rest are affected. <3

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Lovely video. My wife and I own an 800 sq. ft. cabin made of cedar built back in 1956, high above a beautiful lake in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada. The foundation is dry fitted flat granite stones. We've done a lot of work to rebuild the old roof and the shoreline boathouse. Every time we watch one of these episodes, we're filled with inspiration and ideas for how we can do more. Thanks for all the positive messages you put out.

    Sunday isn't the same without one of your videos ❤

    I was born and bred in Africa where it was normal to walk bare-foot. When I immigrated to Holland it surprised me how cautious/scared people are about walking around bare-feet. They think it's dangerous. When you're accustomed to it, - as this athletic guy clearly is - you learn not to put your weight down heavily if something is hurting under your foot. Also - even when wearing shoes you're hurt badly if a heavy stone like that one lands on your foot. All the more reason not to let that happen. Thanks Martijn, for another inspiring movie. I also have a farm where there are always projects waiting to be done, and I love the calm and dedicated way you go about everything, from physical hard work, to creative artistry and simply preparing good wholesome food. A way of life I respect.
