- It's Rain Prep Time on my off-grid homestead! Summers in Portugal are like heaven but the winter season is quite heavy with tons of rain and storms. So here I am getting as much ready as I can, lots of painting involved!

Maya you did a good job of doing everything on your to do list, but you need to run a bead caulk down the seams of the wall that you painted and where the little roof meets the wall of the cabin . Also your little roof needs to have a slope to it so the rain water will run downward and not sit or run to the back where it meets the wall. Fall and Winter is a good time to clean up your property to make garden spaces for Spring time. You can also plant a fall / winter gardens. I love how you like to learn from your friends on how to do things or make things and you get busy with all hands in on doing things for yourself instead of depending on others to do it for you... You're not afraid to do the work or get your hands dirty. You need to start chopping up the wood for your little heater , which I hope that it will be big enough to keep you warm this winter. If you have any old roof tiles left you should put them on the water pump house you built if you don't then the rain will eventually rot the wooden roof. You have the perfect property , I love it.
Well said! Plus Maya you should clear a few of the big stones that are in the paths of your water streams. It would help the water to reach the river and not overflow in your cabin way. God job so far
Thank you!💪 the roof has a slope, those sandwich panels don't need a big one. Yes I need to caulk the edge, didn't get to do that yet.
Awesome work Maya🎉 You're doing a fantastic job on this life project---truly wonderful to witness someone follow their heart with such fire, grace and presence❤️🔥🦋🌿
@@mayafelizAwesome work😊😊
Everything I was thinking, you have said so well, so I’ll just add an “I’ll second that” and let it be. 🙂
A bead of waterproof caulk/silicone inside & out down those wooden joints would help and be easier to do? Might be good to add a pice of your black membrane offcuts behind the shower as a splashback? The drainage looks like it’s working really well. I hope it all held.
I love seeing how you take on new tasks and learn to do new things. Your channel is one of my favorites and I always look forward to your new episodes.
Yayyy!
Hello Maya, look at the shower ceiling, the water heater gas leak pipe must be at least 50 cm vertical and only then bend, otherwise the water heater may not evacuate the gases correctly and not work.
Maya, I have been really enjoying your video series, amazing work so far your property is lovely. One thing of note in this video, where you painted all the edges, you left out the most important part the actual edge where the wood was cut. Short version, these really need paint as well. Long version, the ends where the wood was cut is the end grain of the wood and allows all the cut and open wood fibers to absorb and transmit moisture over long distances through capillary action.
With all the will you have. You're more than ready! Keep up the good work with all the joy you show😀
I absolutely love your little homestead!!! The sound of the trickling water, the river nearby, the beautiful stone houses and your little cabin. You have done so much work to improve it and it's coming along beautifully! Thank you so much Maya, for sharing this with us. I look forward to your videos!!! Every time I see a notification of a new one I am excited to see what new, wonderful thing you have done! You have a terrific, happy spirit which inspires me to make my own improvements around my home. 😀😀😀
Thank you Terri, good vibes to you! 🥳
Maya, You may not know it, but you accomplished another important job, which was removing pieces of lumber from underneath your cabin. Aside from rotting, lumber stored in a dark and damp place is an invitation for animals to live and breed (especially termites) and you don't need that no matter what your cabin lumber is treated with. Your progress is showing, and your abilities along with it. Nice work!
It would be good to paint the endgrain of the "pillars", too. The end grain is the most susceptible to rot. So a coat of breathable paint will help to keep the end grain dry. 👍
Awesome work and well done! I believe that we can do anything, and you are proof!
On the edges… you need to paint the end grain. It will act as a giant wick when it gets wet.
Bravo Maya you are a tough lady. At the rate you are going you'll be able to live in the big house enjoying the view soon. 💃💪💃🌺🌺
Girl you can do enything wow! and do a good job all the time I admire you so much Maya you have such a good spirit you are a wanderful and happy person God bless you!!❤️👵🏻
Congratulations Maya, you completed all the tasks on your "to do" list. You will look back at all your hard work in a couple of years and will be very proud of what you achieved 👏👍💖💖💖
Yayyy I hope so Heidi ☺️
You have become a women of many talents,so good to see a. woman do what you've done, love it Noreen. Australia 🦘
It's coming together. You have work so hard. You did all the drainage great and the other chores. ❤
I so look forward to your videos. You are so dedicated to putting in so much hard work. I love your happy spirit, I love when you yahoo and dance!
You are a delight and an inspiration. Thank you for sharing all of this ❤️
the membrane for the run off should be under the membrane for the base of the shower otherwise the water from the shower is just going to go under the membrane for the run off and make a mess.
It is☺️
You are a hard worker, incredible ❤️ you will make your dream a reality ❤❤❤❤
Excellent work Maya. You are getting so skilled at many tasks. You are really inspiring 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Thank you, that's really motivating 👐
Wow! You've got so much done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lots of jobs completed this week-that's wonderful. You are becoming very skilled at fixing the cabin.I hope the storm isn't too bad!
You not only do what you say you are going to do but you always do more! Great job Maya.
You are a one woman CAN DO CREW 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great work Maya! Love seeing you building your dream.
Good choice you did that, last week we had heavy rain in northern Portugal...
Excellent Maya! You’ve accomplished so much. You need the seal off that new roof of the shower. May I suggest getting a head lamp for working in the dark, it will help so much and make work much easier. Keep it up. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
So much work
You do a great job 👍 💪❤
Love how you are always so happy. And learning new skills every. You are getting closer to completing your tasks well done. Admire your work ethic. Looking forward to what’s next. Thanks for sharing ❤❤
In order to protect the wood of your cabin, you should use this product: sikkens cetol filter 7 plus.
It’s used to protect wood in mountain. Highly efficient during 5 years.
Be careful with your hot shower unit. You should put insulation around it so the tube inside will not crack from the cold. Happened to another UA-camr with the same unit in the winter in Portugal. Just needs some kind of insulation to protect it. Your place looks great.
Great Job maya on those outside joints put a really thick coat a couple if you can
Woo Hoo you got it done. You are doing an amazing job Maya.
Well done ❤
Wonderful work. Such a pleasure to watch you working away so happily! Thank you for sharing x
hey maya ..du kannst deinen gartenbereich schon vorbereiten..indem du pappe, äste,unkraut, kompost, mist wenn du hast und asche, laub und stroh auf der fläche sammelst ,die du als gartenfläche nutzen willt..das verrottet über den winter..obendrauf dann ne schicht erde und im frühjahr gemüse rein..diese art kompost speichert die wärme sehr gut
Adoro ver teus vídeos , maravilhoso lugar ,a cada dia que passa está ficando melhor parabéns vcs são muito esforçados.
Muito obrigada!!!
Great work waterproofing your cabin! I learned something about constructing drains from you, too. I wouldn't have energy to add dancing if I were doing the work you're doing!
Hi maya if you put wood silicone caulking where your wood joints join together on your house, that’ll make it waterproof hopefully this will help you in your water proofing your house 😁
This is the el niño year. Everybody know in this kind of year in the Iberian peninsula means lots of rain in the winter and 2ºC more hot in winter than the normal year.
You completed your list 🎉
Maya, I admire what you so much do on your own and the hard work. You are a wonderful example for what a especially a women can achieve in how you tackle things. Kind regards from New Zealand. I watched many of your videos and always look forward to an update.
Thanks, I hope it stays like that 😊
You are so dedicated and hard working that I am sure it will stay like that . Special regards and all the best.@@mayafeliz
Maya you are a working fool! So motivated, proud of you ❣️
Maya, você é fantástica, sabe fazer todos os tipos de trabalhos. = Maya, you are fantastic, you know how to do all types of work.
I enjoy every moment you film! Your homestead is gorgeous. It’s fun to follow you and each project ❣️
Thank you, it means a lot🥰
Maya those big logs of wood you can use them to produce mushrooms just do some research on repurpose them! This is something you can even sell latter it can became of income for you. Hope you have a great winter time here in Portugal. Beijinhos😘🇵🇹
Maybe I was going to commit and say make sure you water proof the legs of the cabin and treat all the wood because of the wood beetles in Portugal when you built it but I thought of course she will do it. Everyone who lives in Portugal knows that needs to be done.😊
love watching this channel. good job.
Good morning Maya Nice to wake up whit you😊❤
What a hard working girl. I wish I have that enthusiasm that she poses toward building her off grid cabin.
Wow it's amazing how everything has changed and improved! Congratulations Maya!
So inspiring ! Good job Maya 💪
Hi Maya on the drainage by the deck last piece of water protection on your ditch goes under not over haw you have it, the way you have it water sipes under your last sheet and creates erosion.
Great to see you making progress 👌you mentioned that some of the wood from under your cabin had woodworm. I wouldn’t advise storing it on the deck of your cabin as they might transfer to your cabin and start eating it. I had a wooden sculpture that needed a new base and unfortunately the oak that was used must’ve had woodworm. Needless to say the beautiful sculpture was eaten from the inside 😳
I think you cima need to fence the terrain to do the "horta" check if wild boar came to eat "castanhas" and because the deer
bien hecho maya,saludos,buen trabajo,nos vemos en el proximo video,bye
Hi Maya🎉 wow you’ve achieved so much this week, well done. Tony ❤️🇬🇧 xx
That red flower is a dalia. It should come back each year in your latitude. We dig and replant in Ohio
I will say it again, you are AMAZING!😘
You are so funny but a nice builder! New tasks and you learn so fast how do. Kisses from France
Amazing why not put a water tank up by your house to catch rain water😊
Good work, but the corners are not sealed. I can see gaps in between. I think you have to seal it with UV-resistant filler or silicon. Water will otherwise still ingress the wood gaps. Also at the start or ends of the planks, there are grooves that are open to water ingress. Good luck with your works looks great the progress.
Marvellous headway Maya - you are amazingly gifted. All Blessings to you xx
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Maya, good work girl 👍😁💪
Congrats, your effort paying off
I really love your videos...such a hard worker.
Im binging on them.
Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Amazing work Maya! 🎉👌🏼☀️🥳
Great work Maya! 👍🏴🇬🇧
Hi Maye 😊 so many little things to be done and ao cool you have been able to get to them wisely and quickly...rain season is already in. Well done 🎉
Well done on completing your to-do list. So happy for you!
You're so good at anything,Maya!!
Do you plan to live in the stone house this coming winter?
Aww thank you, living here in the winter is the plan!
Great job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Good busy Maya! 👊👍😎
💕Your a one woman survivalist.
I would like to mention but you do like help from you friends. You would be wise maybe to contact the company you purchased the cabin from to ask how to make the pillars waterproof as they really should not of leaked.
*Caulking is for inside only.
*I think you will need to paint the joins again, not the whole pillar. Small art brush will do.
*your roof on the shower to get it to have the water run off the correct way, put a few washers (3 or 4 good size and thickness) between the roof and the support that should do. Good luck🍀
Xx
So proud of you!
Brilliant job maya👏👏👏
love it
Bom vídeo, como sempre ❤
Usually pouring a cement box 24x36 inches filled with stone 1/2 or 3/4 inch has worhed for me, it should drain naturally.
Well done!
You did it🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great work Maya, lots of worthwhile chores done. The place is really taking shape.
Très bien travaillé bravo. 👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇵
Every week I am so inspired by all that you do! What are your plans for the stone building you've added windows and a balcony? How cold do you expect it to be this winter? I am not sure what part of portugal you are in. Thanks for Sharing Maya! See you next time.
Your building and repairing skills are improving, I can tell.
Hi Maya, loving your videos, your energy and good spirit is contagious! Hoping to see other videos soon😍
Thank you! 🥰
You need to make them longer. I love watching. Thank you.
Sunday is football for some but for me it means another glorious video from you!! ❤
Well done !!!!!!🇬🇷 🇬🇷
💜 Too many changes of clothes to count 😊
Probably some gutters on the cabin will help with both the rotting legs and the leaks through the walls.
Excellent work as always, Maya! How many snakes do you encounter? Have you seen any bears?
Wow a lot of jobs done, good for you to prepare!! I was thinking here in Spain we have this red roof paint, I think you also have it in Portugal for waterproofing flat roofs, would that be a solution for your balcony?
you probably shouldn't have water running into compost pile. It will stop the process of the material turning into soil.
You might want to caulk the areas where boards meet and moisture leaked in?
12:30 Covering wooden posts with waterproofing is a mistake! The posts will begin to rot! The wood must be able to release moisture into the atmosphere. Sorry for my bad English!
I do enjoy watching your program, you were doing such a great job and working so hard but, and you know there’s always a bot, I could do without the Yahoo wing and the dancing
👏✨your amazing ✨👏
Brave heart!!!
