I'm blown away by your comments - you just made my day! This is the best community on KZfaq I believe 💜

It was a lot of work but now you're 100% sure that the balcony is sturdy and safe. Enjoy your princess balcony ❤

I can hardly believe all the hard work you do. The beautiful balcony is a strong statement for your leisure. You deserve every completion dance you do. Thanks for taking all of us along on your achievements.

Every Princess deserves a balcony ✨ 😊

Maya, I can see two simple terracotta large vases at the feet of those columns, with two lovely bougainvilleas growing up to your balcony! I’ve been following you from the beginning and you have no idea how proud I am of you! 🌺

I think going swimming in your river is a magical revival. Your home is bringing your vision to life. It's very beautiful and you are too

What I like is that all the finnised stuff ends with a "YOUHUU!" 😄

I love the balcony railing - such a traditional design by a talented craftsman. You are all safe there now.

Such a happy positive person Maya. A real pleasure to watch your channel 😊🇦🇺

You never stop working,Maya,and that helps a lot towards the progress. Everything is fine and coming together beautifully.❤

Maya you fill our hearts, you do what the rest of us fantasize!

Maya, you epitomize the saying..."If you can't have fun at what your doing, then you should not be doing it." :)

You are bringing new life and excitement back to people, finding purpose within...I am so enjoying your energy in how you restoring a beautiful old building! Well done and enjoy your Princess Balcony. 🎉

You go, girl. So very proud of you. You are going to have a beautiful home. You are a hard worker.

Love your princess balcony. You are such a hard worker, nothing seems to phase you. Be proud girl, so very proud of yourself.

nothing better than BREAKFAST WITH MAYA from the east coast of America!

Amazing Work Maya….You will look back one day and all the hard work will be proud memories 😊

I was hoping the balcony will get supported like that. It’s beautiful, it changes the whole aspect of the house too❤

Simply stunning balcony. Absolutely LOVE the energy & vibes that you share each week! All that you have achieved (so far) deserves the title...Princess Wonder Woman . Thank you for being you 🎉

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair....A balcony thing!!! It looks wonderful. I would keep the welder on speed dial, he did a nice job. You are a machine and yes you should be very proud! My suggestions to make using wood screws easier. An old candle or an almost used up bar of soap. Pass the threads over the soap/candle. Just a quick swipe on one side of the threads. This lubricates the screw as you drive it into wood. Doesn't weaken the bond and make driving the screw much easier. #2...If you can find "Square drive" or "Torx drive" screws. I find them sooooo much nicer to work with than traditional phillips head screws. Often a driver bit is included in larger boxes. Thanks for your time.

I’m usually irritated by advertisements but you did it in a natural and sincere way!

After seeing what you have done and built for yourself I am seriously impressed with your progress. Now even looking into the possibilities of doing the same. Portugal is truly beautiful! Keep doing what you are doing , I’m sure you will end up with everything you wished for! Stay safe!🌞🌻❤️

This balcony is stunning !!!! Your whole place is like a fairy tale come true. I absolutely love it. And you are such a hard worker. Such an inspiration.

Thank you for continuing to share your journey with us, Maya! I love what you did with the rubble, I think that will stabilize your roads on your property. I so love seeing your videos. I appreciate your strength and determination, and your joy in life. I absolutely love your riverfront home! ❤️

Sparkle on! The hard work is paying off! You rebuilt that crumbling wall to make it strong, and put in the hole for the second window. Now a balcony fora happy princess! 🥰🌷🌺🪴

Very glad you build the posts and the supporting beam at the front of the balcony. I was a bit concerned about a proper static stability before 👏👍🙋🏼‍♂️

Congratulations 🎊 it's a wonderful princess balcony. 😊

OMG, Maya! YOU DO have the perfect princess balcony! BTW - no one works as hard as you do... You may never know the inspiration you are to all of us who have taken the risks/ opportunities you've embraced. My Sunday coffee with you dancing and your projects is my new happy place. So...thanks, girl! 👊🏼 🤸🏼‍♂️🤸🏼🤸🏼‍♀️ Keep us dancing with you!

Maya the balcony is so beautiful, and the outward curve of it gives you a little more space as opposed to a straight railing. You work so hard! I don't know how you do it sometimes. You are creating such a beautiful space. ❤️

What can't you do Maya? Slowly but surely, you chip your way until the job gets done! Girl, you really rock! I love your victory moves and grooves!

I'm Brazilian and I think it's so cute when you speak Portuguese

We are all proud of you and all that you do. Congratulations

Yesterday I was working on a project that was difficult for me so I thought, What would Maya do? Maya would say Let’s go! and then She would dance. So I did! Thanks for inspiring me Maya. I was very satisfied with myself.

The balcony is fit for a princess. All of that hard work paid off. You will enjoy that for years to come.❤

The balcony is beautiful Maya and now nice and strong so no worries on safety. I bet you feel like a princess and why not, every girl deserves a balcony. You work so hard, and have a wonderful nature, so happy you are a breath of fresh air. When you dance I can imagine you doing that as a child, a real free spirit x

Congrats on the new balcony and railing to the hardest working woman on KZfaq. Such an inspiration!!!

Initially, you said you were a novice at construction. It's incredible to see how far you have progressed and wirh great proficiency. Great job. The balcony is a work of art.

I'm completely blown away by your enthusiasm and work ethic. It should be an enjoyable experience from start to finish even if things don't always go well and your little victory dances have me grinning from ear to ear😊😊. I wish you many many years of happiness in your beautiful home and endless joy on your fabulous balcony.

I am watching from the US, Colorado. I built my own small “prince” house. Concrete work and all. Watching you makes my muscles ache! Such hard work. The pain was worth the reward. Rewarding enough to enable me to get my dream retirement house in Umbria Italia. In a beautiful storybook hamlet. So, no pain, no gain. Your property is just incredible. Keep going, it is a pleasure to see your progress.

Well Princess Maya ... now you have two posts for a swinging chair or a hammock. Looks great - Paul 😃😃😍😍😎😎

Smart use of the rubble to help stabilize the ground there.

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?🌻💃🙏

I cannot believe that anyone would not enjoy your happy dance!

A beautiful railing the guy done a brilliant job.

Not me imagining having a facial with the ufo 3 on that balcony girl! It's so lovely, definitely the perfect place to charge your batteries and relax 😊😊

Congratulations Maya ,it looks amazing. Concreting is not a easy thing to do.

I am so proud of you. You are such an amazing woman. Your work ethic is next to none. You work hard and learn fast. you are simply amazing. Any guy should be proud to call you his partner. Keep up the great work

Beautiful handmade work!!!

Maybe that lovely terrace you were making the shuttering on??

I have started doing a little dance when I complete a task. Thank you for restoring a bit of youth back into my life...(Age 70)

am so pleased you are doing your balcony you will be much safer now

What a beautiful and well-designed railing that is Maya it is a credit to all your hard work.

Climbing florals.

It looks really nice well done you are a hard working lady enjoy

It wasn't necessary to put two pillars to hold the balcony... I saw how the balcony was built and it seemed to me that it was quite resistant.... With these two pillars, the structure of the house is somewhat strange... Much better as without them. Note: alternatively, two angled beams could have been placed at the bottom of the balcony, in this way it solved the problem, without detracting from that part of the house. Beautiful project that you Maya have in hand. All the best to you beautiful...😚

Well done, that balcony will stand the test of time. Such a hard worker. I bet you sleep well!

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your golden hair! Happy dance.

Your balcony is so beautiful. I am so glad youput supports under it. Now it will last forever ❤❤❤

Music for a morning on your balcony: John Denver, Good morning Sunshine: Oliver, Good Morning Starshine: Cat Stevens, Morning Has Broken. You're welcome LOL!!

Goede morgen zonnetje je heb afgelopen week weer veel werk verricht je balkon super mooi geworden wens je fijne pinksterdag toe 👍verheug al op volgorde week!weer nieuwe filmpje van je groetjes Willem Nederland ✌️👊😘

Guten Morgen Maya, I still admire your hard work and dedication as well as enjoying how beautiful your house is.

So much hard work! Maya, your balcony is beautiful and you can be so proud of all the blood, sweat and tears you've put into making your home a paradise. 😌👏👍😀❤️❤️❤️

Well done Sista, such a gynormous effort for a wonderful reward 👏🎶💕👏

Well done Maya your balcony looks beautiful and secure. You enjoy your place is amazing this blue skies and all the green around not forgetting your beautiful river.

What an absolutely beautiful addition to your home Maya! Your super hard work is definitely bringing you amazing rewards. Happy dance time! Thank you for sharing. I'm so happy for you and celebrate that you are proud of yourself!!!

Balcony is beautiful! Your either going to make a garden bed/wall with the rocks or work on wall near the balcony? Or possibly go on holiday! What ever you do you always do it with joy and happiness😊

I love it when you dance. The dancing princess has her royal balcony😊

If you drill a hole first in hard wood and then you screw it would be much easyer.

You worked so hard and it was worth it. Now you can relax and use your balcony. It is a beautiful railing.

I cannot believe you did all that concrete work and digging . You are a hard worker!!! Enjoy the fruits of your labors. It is a definite sangria balcony 🍹

You dont afraid of hard work, keep smiling, Your house look better! Balcon is ready, Julia ( Maya) is in house, are we waiting for Romeo ?

Maya hi. The balcony is looking good.

Maya I am so proud of you and the work you are doing, I can't wait to see what you have for next week, 🧚‍♀️👸❤

Dein Balkon ist wunderschön. Ich bewundere deine handwerklichen Fähigkeiten und Leistungen. Pass bitte gut auf dich auf Maya. Rock und Hut…stehen dir wirklich gut 😊. Liebe Grüße und viel Kraft. 🌿🌱

Wonderful now sofften all those edges with two climbing roses and clematis

Her dancing is contagious

Princess Maya! What a beautiful balcony! Congratulations and big love x

Wow! You did it! Your persistence is so inspiring! Your friend Sherry is such a good guy. Kudos to him as well. Oh and my husband does your happy dance whenever he wants to make me smile. 😊

I'm proud of you too, you are not just a pretty face. You match any male builder 💪 The balcony is beautiful 😍

It definitely looks like a Princess Deck!!! You really work Hard and your house is coming along really Nice!!! Im Sooo Proud of Everything you are Accomplishing!!! Great Job!!!!!

your balcony looks amazing. you should paint it with a pop of color and also hang hanging plants from underneath.

Dear Maya, your balcony turned out really mega!!! What a great reward after such hard work, it was worthwhile!!!!

That railing is beautiful. What a great job he did.

Just by seeing you work I feel like you deserve a good vacation.

How I admire your work. just watching it makes my back hurt 😄

Portuguese local metalworkers do such beautiful work still. It's so interesting to drive around and see all the amazing iron and metal work on buildings.

Maya, du arbeitest hart für deinem Traum, das Ergebnis ist umwerfend. Aber so ganz nebenbei, verbesserst du die Welt mit deiner positiven Energie und deiner Reichweite. ❤ Grüße aus Berlin

Great job! Don't forget to make a small hole in each of the poles close to the ground. So that water/moisture cannot collect and fill up the poles over time.To prevent rust on the inside.

Railing is beautiful

Nice job, the footings for the balcony supports will likely hold up the whole house. Super sturdy.

I guess no one has told you because they are scared to come off as mean.... but... "Yoohoo" is what you yell to get someone's attention at a distance. WOOhoo (or YAY!) is what you yell for celebration. Or just WOO at rock concerts or when riding in a convertible while "cruising the strip." (Driving up and down the fast food and bar area near a college.) I'm SO jealous of your energy. I bet the next vid includes painting the railing and support poles?

Oh--a retractable awning would be next on my list 😘 👩‍🌾😎

bit of overkill for those foundations but those post now stronger than house 😁 well done

I have worked with metal with my dad from an early age, and now in my later years still welding and forming with metal . I just love the form and design of the balcony rails ,so beautiful cheers from OZ

I'm so glad to see that you added support to the balcony. It turned out great!

So beautiful balcony for a wonderful hard working Queen

Just wonderful!!! I am so happy for you. It's so nice to see you relax and enjoy all your hard work. You are amazing and an inspiration to all. Bless you and your beautiful homestead!

Wow Maya your balcony turned out amazingly beautiful 🤩 you’re the hardest working princess I know. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. I love, love your videos. Best of luck beautiful princess 👸🏻. A big hug from extremely hot 🥵 sunny Florida.

That is one gorgeous railing. One of the prettiest designs I have ever seen ❤️

Bien mérité le balcon de princesse 👍🏻 Tu est une championne Maya 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥂
