Doing a great job, young lady. Noticed when using grinder that your hair is hanging down. You should tie it up. If it gets caught in grinder, it'll pull out your hair in a split second. Keep up the good work.

You are such a hard working person, I love it. Good luck!

Mixing mortar by hand in a wheelbarrow with a enxada is so Portuguese style 😀

Yes! Morning tea with Maya. It's getting so beautiful Maya. You are creating a awesome home.

Dealing with that Vapor Barrier would have been the death of me. You are very patient Maya!

It’s so exciting to see you master every process as you make your dreams a reality! You’re inspiring 💥

First the membrane then the bricks.

Hi there, I`m portuguese living abroad and I accidentally saw one of your videos (then i watched almost all), I`m really glad you found a corner in my country for your projects. Maybe you`re my neighbor and we haven`tcrossed paths yet... wish you all the best, cheers

You don't give up when things get tough . You will succeed 😊

It's not the best process to use portland cement-based mortar on old masonry. You should be using NHL (naturally hydraulic lime)mortar.

Maya, Greeting from Croatia. You never cease to amaze me with your projects. Love your free spirit.

A little tip for straightening pipes. Get a piece of wood and drill a hole through it the diameter of the pipe, then pull the pipe through it. It will straighten it without causing deformations.

"Happy Wall" is going to be my new comment for any wall I see from now on.

You are doing a fantastic job well done. Love from yanchep Western Australia

hello Maya, I dont understand why you dont put the membrane on the wall before putting the bricks? is there a step or a thing i miss? good job anyway, keep the energy :)

Auch wenn wir uns nicht kennen, so freut es mich, deine Freude beim verwirklichen Deines Traumes zu sehen. Vielen Dank dafür. Ich freue mich auf mehr.

Nice progress! Thanks for showing a real ending of the video.

The sheer simplicities and beautiful distractions all set in the echoes from the past all seem so nostalgic as the old blends in with the new. The past blends seamless with the addition of the modern improvements. Like the glorious nature there all around you, your renovation is coming to life and breathing life....breathing life and evolving into your dreams! Blessings to you on this journey!

I love that you take time out to do a little dance. I love your content and thanks for sharing ☮️💜

You are a grafter Maya ! Keep up the good work. All the best from Aberdeen Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I recommend you paint the old masonary inside wall with a masonary sealer. It will keep dampness out.

Maya, have you thought about about hiring some goats to help you keep the grass down, hope your keeping well and please stay safe. ❤️🇬🇧🙏

You should consider using that little waterfall area for hydropower!

Love to see you working, finding out the methodology your way, even sometimes it is wrong, but the end result is okay.❤❤

You are all the motivation anyone could need. Wow.

What an inspiration you are ,love you girl and what you do ,you are a hero! 😊 Good luck in everything you do 💛

MAYA Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍

So much coming together this week! I remember being able to work as hard as you do (but not the joy you obviously get out of it; wow!). I'm older and pretty beat-up now, but I can still look around our home and see all that I've done in the past couple of decades. And I'm still at it, just much more slowly. Never stop because, why should you? We've had a very strange Spring here in Wisconsin, USA, too. Alternating between rain, wind, hot, cold, repeat. But our leaves have come out over the past couple of weeks, the birds are nesting, and we just planted five new trees.

Good morning Maya you certainly are a builder would you take on apprentice and show him how to do it right please note 9 to 5 no 5 am starts 😂😂😂

Top work Maya, big love and keep dancing x

You are gradually getting there will look good when done x

For "Old wall" preferred a lime mortar because the wall “breathe”, cement mortar is waterproof and retains humidity. Hope this is not too late??? Bon courage.

Good evening from Australia, I'm loving your video blogs, your dancing is fantastic 😂 keep up with the reno it's looking great, & your hot 🔥 ❤

I love that you talk to your buildings

Great video Maya! 🙌🏻 A word of advice if I may: Be careful with your hair when using the grinder.

wow love to see how it transform. and you are very skilled

Very clever and creative way to keep the downstairs dry! ❤

It will be interesting to see how the temperature inside to outdoors with these 2 rooms

Your attitude is great. I am so glad you are learning new skills too. The river is beautiful. I'm thinking you can make a pool in your yard. Just make it with bricks! Well, cement blocks would be better. But you have that nice beach, so you can just go there and swim. It is such a lot of work to fix up the old structures. You are doing a great job of it. Be well and keep motivated.

Your place is so tranquil. I think i might be trying to figure out how to hide a small modern water wheel that sits directly in the river (if you're allowed to do so). You could probably power your entire site for free with one or more of those.

Grama from Canada , love watching your adventures, YOU GO GIRL!!!!

You are a joy to watch. So industrious and determined. You are creating a beautiful home 💎🙏💕🐨

Greetings from Melbourne 🇦🇺

You quite amazing Maya! Nice job!

Adding the wall won’t (on its own) stop condensation. What are you planning to do to increase airflow… extractor??

Check into something called Grout bags. You could squeeze the grout into small spaces like frosting and then smooth with a trowel.

amazing how much positiv energy you have. keep up the good work

I’m a new subscriber from Canada and watching the different building techniques is cool some are the same others are very different, keep up the quality content.👍

Love the river. You were fortunate to find land with houses and a river through it!

dear Maya, you are amaze me every video!! I'm so proude of you and envy at you, with your amazing motivation strength and resourcefulness. Wonderwomam!! Keep going.❤💪👏🙌

The more i see the more amazed i am by your dedication and hard work.

I love the positive energy...so so inspiring. Keep up the good work❤

Nice job on the brick laying!

The best part of your videos is knowing when it's all done and finished you will have had your hand in most of it. Well done. It's gonna be beautiful.

My new favorite way to start Sundays! Your videos are inspiring, fun and beautiful. There's nothing you can't do!!! Have a great week! * from Virginia, USA🤸🏼‍♂️🤸🏼🤸🏼‍♀️

Maya, why are you mixing the cement in the wheelbarrow? Work smarter, not harder! Save yourself from back pain later in life and use the cement mixer. I use my cement mixer to mix my dirt for propagating seeds and making compost for garden beds. You are doing a wonderful job on the renovations xx

I'm very excited to see that you almost have 100,000 subscribers! Soon. Some money will flow your way and nobody deserves it more than you! You do a great job and you entertain and delight us every week! ❤

Looks very tedious. I admire your persistence and work ethic. Keep it up and your place will be amazing.

I learned so much about stone working,bless you my German friend

Looking great you’re really doing a good job 👍

You are such a beautiful and talented young lady, never afraid to take on a challenge and learn new things. Keep up the great work.

NICE JOB

Bon travail Maya la maison prends forme, passe une bonne semaine 🌺🌺

Wow!!! I admire your stamina and patience! Love those sunsets and gorgeous sunrises!!! Can't wait for next week's video 🫶❣️. I love your property with the breathtaking river! 👍🥰👍

Well done , doing it right and not fast , I love your patience and you perseverance. You can be very proud of yourself

Thank you for posting and sharing.

I love to see such independent young women and the bravery that you are. Can you make an episode talking about you? I think that I'm not the only one with the same thinking. Keep doing what you do.

Maya, it is looking good. I like your little dances.❤

Maya, I found your channel a few days ago and have finally caught up with where you are currently at in your homestead. You have come a long way.

I have been looking forward to your new KZfaq posts

Good morning ❤ I am so impressed by your work ethic and capabilities. Very smart and beautiful young lady ! Stay safe and warm

There is something so addictive and satisfying seeing what love and effort can do to old forgotten structures! The work is amazing and you're really doing justice to the property. Not to mention that Portugal is unbelievably beautiful! Just found you a few days ago but I'll keep watching!

Good morning. The membrane would probably be better to have installed it on the rick walls prior yo putting up the interior brick. Just something to think about as you continue building

Curious if those blocks will be painted? Typically the strike (smooth out) the mudjoints for a cleaner. Can't wait to see the finished project. You are such a hard worker.

Maya your house will look really nice if you plant some flowers

You're such a hard worker Maya. So exciting to see all your vision unfold. Be sure to get enough rest.❤

Ya you're a builder, not only are you doing a great job but you're enjoying it

I just love it when you do your happy dance….🙂😄😁

Maya you are so happy to achieve this hard work by yourself I admire your courage in this lovely nature take care the house looking great bye

i'm putting a comment mainly for the algorithm, i've bunch watched a lot of your vid, loved it, love to see how you learn how to do things, you have a wonderful piece of land, don't hesitate to do more part of the video with camera just recording the timelapse of the land (it will give even more immersion) Keep fighting, don't give up!

Thanks for the upload

Love how you work so hard to accomplish getting the job done love you

You are such a hard worker and you have so much patience. Great work

you've gotten really good with your trowel tools! 🥂

All that hard work with a smile..you're awesome 😊

You should wear protective goggles or a shield in case stones are flicked up when strimming as so often happens.

Big up for your work ! I hope your humidity problem won't persist... That is always challenging...

Great job and hello from Barossa valley in south Australia

I don't know how old you are, but you are amazing, inspiring and fun to watch.

Maya you are such an inspiration in the way that you stay steadfast in your goals. As for your positive attitude regardless of the challenges you face daily.... derserves huge respect!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🤗 Durban SA

I have one more on my list is to work on a stone house and road I have already build my tiny home on a hill with homestead

You make nice and interesting videos. But I'm confused. How will the membrane help, when it's just hanging like a shower curtain? I can't understand how it will help for the moist. If the venting isn't good enough, the moist will collect at the floor. So wouldn't the moist content in the air be pretty similar on both sides of the curtain? Also I see you use concrete on the wall. Was the house originally built with concrete between the stones, of was lime mortar the original building material? I ask, because problems can occure later due to wrong choice of materials beeing used when repairing old stone walls.

You are such an inspiration Maya. GOD bless you and protect you always. Watching with enjoyment from the Philippines.

Your videos are always so good to see. Thanks for all the hard work!

Beautiful.

Your work looks amazing, Maya! Soon, an indoor bathroom. I am very excited for you. Have a wonderful week!

Bloody well done with that drilling. I know that pain.

Such wonderful progress you have made with the brick walls. ❤

Hi Maya, love your dances they make me giggle. A lot of progress this week well done it’s nice seeing your dreams coming to life well done❤❤❤

Well done with all the new skills you learned Maya x
