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

Every Princess deserves a balcony ✨ 😊

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

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

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

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! 🌺

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 🎉

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

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

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

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

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 👏👍🙋🏼‍♂️

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.

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!🌞🌻❤️

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

Congratulations 🎊 it's a wonderful princess balcony. 😊

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! 🥰🌷🌺🪴

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

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

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

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

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

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! ❤️

A beautiful railing the guy done a brilliant job.

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...😚

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

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. ❤️

I'm 67 and I've built a lot. You should be so proud, Beautiful!

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

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

Beautiful handmade work!!!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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!!!

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!

Your enthusiasm and joie de vivre are so infectious!

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. 😌👏👍😀❤️❤️❤️

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!!!!!

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

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. 😊

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

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

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.

Hola Maya. Yo soy de España y estoy impresionado con el trabajo que estás haciendo. Es muy inspirador. Los portugueses son muy buena gente.Siempre dispuestos a ayudar. Un abrazo ¡¡¡¡

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

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.

It’s perfect! You chose wisely. Great job.

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😊

Railing is beautiful

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

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

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

Well done. I've watched the progress and seen your skills develop. I felt like cheering when the balcony was finished.

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. 🌿🌱

Maya, you are an incredible woman! Congratulations on all you have achieved so far. 🎉

As a professional welder that regularly does handrail and industrial railings for bridge work. Impressive is the only word. That is some topnotch fabrication work there. And a beautiful esthetic as well.

Way to go! Such a cool addition to your beautiful place.

Bespoke, handmade steel work is so affordable in Portugal, with highly skilled craftsmen. I've used the same fabricator since moving here over twenty years ago. Railings, balustrades, gates, tank covers, windows and grills. All made to my crude design, but measured, supplied and professionally fitted.. Lots of drawings and discussions in my pigeon Portuguese. I know that feeling of happiness only too well when a job is done. Thank you Senhor José, without you and so many others, our dreams would never have come true.

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

Beautiful railing on that balcony. Kudos on the hard work and effort that you put in.

It's soooooo pretty!!! Wow, they crafted it beautifully! 😊

The railing is stunning. How beautiful.

Very nice balcony railing, hand crafted 👍 and hard work 👍

That balcony is beautiful and especially the design of the railings.

Es ist soo entspannend, wenn ich nach getaner Arbeit mit meinen eigenen Projekten schlussendlich dir dabei zusehen kann, wie du deine voranbringst bzw. abschließt. Keep going Maya! :)

I can imagine the beautiful color combinations when painting the outside of the house; amazing transformation.

You are so positive and happy it makes my day.

Congratulations Maya. You should be sooo proud of yourself!!! I look forward to your next step!!!
