You don't need to apologize for doing what you can with what you have. If people don't like it they can skip this episode
Exactly my words. 👍👍
Your channel, your house, your property, your videos.... your rules 🙂
Absolutely
I've fallen from a scaffold before for about 15 feet. The fall isn't too bad, nor is the trip on the way down. The sudden stop at the bottom is when things start to hurt LOL
That is the best description of a fall I've ever read! LOL
I'm ex SAR/Civil Protection in UK and when I studied heights rescue my Commander used to say "Falling never does the damage, the sudden stop at the bottom does. "
Higgest heights stuff ever done was 284' (17 floors) abseil to fund raise for London's Air Ambulance.
😂 I’ve always been afraid of heights. My brother wasn’t, but is now. I asked him why, & he said ‘because I’ve fallen from a few’.
"Necessity is the mother of invention" . Scaffolding worked well.
Greetings from the southern United States! Maya, I have been watching your channel and the scope of the various projects that you have undertaken and completed. I am continuously amazed and impressed by your strong desire and work ethic throughout your wide array of different jobs related to your property there in Portugal! The old saying about work being 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration could not be any truer when watching you set your mind to something and seeing it through to completion! I thoroughly enjoy watching your visions become reality! Bless you and have a wonderful week!
Nashville right here..
Keep going Maya. We all are very proud of you.
Thank you🥰
Necessity is the mother of invention! Genius. And through trial, we establish the learning of improved methods. We can not be too hard on ourselves for not knowing what we did not know before we learned. Very few on earth can and would do what you have done and are doing. I applaud you!
My father told me that he has learned a lot of expensive lessons. You don’t know what you don’t know until you try. The key is to keep trying & to learn as you go. I’m impressed with all of your efforts. Keep up the good work.👍🏻🇨🇦
Hey there, you're an absolute rockstar!
All that hard work, not giving a damn about safety rules, defying gravity, that's some hardcore stuff right there. I'm a grandpa myself, and I'm blown away by what you're doing without any prior experience. Amazing! The world needs more women like you. Keep crushing it!
Thanks for your encouragement 👐
When improvising wisely and taking your time to do the work it's not really dangerous on an improvised scaffolding. I grew up before safety harnesses were invented. Been there, done that! Enjoy the thrill! 😊
I built my own scaffolding from small trees a number of years ago. It was rock-solid.
@@fergusontea "It was rock solid" - Famous last words 😄 (joke)
🤣
Maya I watch you every week, you've grown so much since the start. Keep going girl ! You're inspiring
Hey Maya .. replant the yukkas, to close to fence wall.. in a couple years the base root ball will break wall x and as you have heap more work on houses ..get yourself a small scaffold..it will pay for its own in time
Between you and Wild Rosie Roaming, I’m so inspired. I’m going to buy a jigsaw and a workbench this week. I’m starting to build my first greenhouse shelves!
Good luck 🤞🍀
I'm so happy I'm not alone!🎉
Wow, you've got so much done. Great to see you and the land again 😊
take a look at martijn doolard his place in the mountains in italy is absolutely brilliant very talented man. and yes
maya is doing a good job but she must keep herself safe
@@sharonbennett9953 Safe is nr1, always 👍🏻🥰
I'm not 100% sure but perhaps you should take a lot of the lower leaves off the trees you planted. That way it can concentrate all its energy on producing roots and not feeding its leaves. I guess Google it to see if I'm even half right on that 😂
Yep and the trunks look stunning when the peaves are removed. Whether you have the time is another thing 😂 they'll fall off naturally anyway
keep dancing 💃🏼and creating your dream 🎉
Hola Maya no worries, some people climb Mount Everest if you do something wisely, a lot can be done
That would be another challenge! 😃🏔️
Mya, must be an engineer or architect. I see how quickly you ' Madiver projects without difficulty. As a proud mother of 2 strong young women, it's great see your strength as well 😊
I love you! Your safety rope made me laugh out loud!!! Keep up the hard work!
You're very brave. Stay safe.
You do what you need to with the materials that you have. Your improvised scaffolding worked great!
You did it, its finished, it looks good, and you survived.
This is the best house renovation ever..love it🥰
yayyy thanks Nancy
Thanks for posting and sharing Maya. I’m glad that your home made lime paint is working so well.
I’ve been binge watching your journey for the last two weeks, and thoroughly enjoying. Thanks for sharing. I share your love for nature and how it feeds the soul. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Regards from South Africa
You have such a strong work ethic Maya. It's the only way to get jobs done when you start from such a basic beginning. It will all come together because of your hard work.
I don't know what I'm doing.....
But somehow it all works out in the end 😊
You are tenacious!
Everybody! Do the Maya happy dance!😃😃😃
yaaayyyy do it! 👆
You are a very ambitious woman with multiple talents... dancing however is not one of them
Dancing is not about talent, it's about having fun
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Maya, good work painting your house 🏠.
You did so well with what you had, well done you work so hard
It is fun watching your projects. You have done very well. there is a british guy restoring a castle ruin in central france, mostly by himself. It was burned down by a fire many years ago. you have a great spirit.
Love Dan and his chateau ❤
Mia took a calculated risk with her improvised scaffolding. Well done Mia you checked it and it was very sturdy. Go for it Girl.
You remind me of myself 20 years ago....building, chopping and doing jobs I never thought possible....with a small child tagging along ...a single mum tackling anything that life threw my way. Somehow my enthusiasm has disappeared and it saddens me... watching you is slowly reigniting my willpower to get back and create again... build and live! Thank you❤
Sending power to you, Leonora! 🥳
I bet you cant wait to get your veggies in the ground everythink looks super green 😊
Probably best to keep the water inlet pipe out of water with bubbles to prevent air getting sucked into your system.
I really love watching your videos! I’m impressed with how you are redoing your property.
Hiya Maya, Your home is coming together nicely, may I suggest that you fence in your vegetables as the deer may like a free munch lol. I would not like to see all your hard work go to the wild life, take care, love and blessings from Scotland.
Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland, liebe Maya. Danke für deine Videos. Ich schaue sie mir gerne an und manches lerne ich noch dazu😊.
Schön finde ich, dass du dir auch ab und zu Hilfe holst- das beruhigt mich😂....denn das tue ich auch! Ich bin sehr gespannt wie und was du weiterhin kreieren wirst. Kraft und Gesundheit für dich🎉 let's do it, women at work....
Hi you have so much wood to build scaffold, the eucalyptus trees, after the work they can provide you with heat , or a new pergola for the summer. Keep up the good work.
Your place is amazing. 👍🙂
Woohoo! A new video! 😃
What an adventure, love your videos. Thanks
Oh, Maya your scaffolding is adequate and you took measures to keep it as stable as possible. Try looking up bamboo scaffolding in Asian countries. Those guys are crazy!
Not a plumber here but my family has a country house with the same water problem. Pumps run all the time and wear out way before you expect them to. Perhaps adding a 1000 liter tank that is filled with the pump with an internal buoy set to start the pump once the tank is at 50% can help everything pressurized if you put the tank higher than your buildings.
Maya Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍
„Does anyone of you have a long drill?“ 😂
Hey miss lady from Indiana. (Midwest America) your living a dream come true😮 I don't know you but I'm so proud of you. Keep it up! I hope you alwase have something fun to do❤
Tu casa se está viendo muy bella
Awesome video I really enjoyed it' thank you for sharing your life with us.I hope you have a great week.
What a beautiful awesome place you are building❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Using a knappy roller to paint rough surfaces is fast, easy and does a better job than a brush imo. The white wash looks beautiful!
I was thinking the same.
Thanks, Maya, for the fun videos! What you've done is amazing.
Get yourself propolis tincture from a beekeeper or pharmacy. That helps heel wounds and burns. You also can take it internally for colds - unless you aren't allergic to bee products. 13:00
I've just binge watched all your episodes & now I'm up to date. I have a shed which is my Mancave, very shabby. I'm thinking I might give the whole interior a makeover. Thanks for the inspiration young lady.
Planting yukkas next to walls is the worst possible mistake, within 3 years, the wall will fall, and it will be a nightmare to pull out the yukkas when they are considerable in width.
I speak from my own experience, I have yukkas over 50 years old.
If the land was flat there would be no problem, but this wall is there to support the earth from falling in a very short time the roots will push the earth and make the wall fall into your land.
Tea bags on any burns when it happens will stop the burn. I also put cold water
You are such a hard worker!
So much work Maya best wishes
So happy to see your progress
Hello Maya normally in Portugal to paint with Cal you use a huge brush not a smal one like with normal paint, its a lot easier. And another tip, with CAL you need to paint at least 3 times to be perfect. Enjoy and have fun =)
Things are looking great. Nice job ❤
Lovely progress! 👍🥰👍
I love your dreams and drive you have
I feel the same about spring and I’m the Virgin Islands 🇻🇮
I so enjoy reading the words of encouragement that you receive. I really enjoy your efforts, your videos and your personality. Keep trucking 👍🏻🇨🇦
Love you DIY,!!! That's not an earth rod, that's a copper tube. Copper oxidizes and then it loses its conductivity value or your grounding. This is therefore not allowed. Must always be a tinned solid pin. Good thing is you put it anywhere so just place a proper one somewhere else and connect with a correct thickness grounding cable. If you know somebody who can measure the conductivity that would be nice. It can make the difference of the earth leakage circuit breaker is working properly or not. A significant safety point.
i am from uk and we have had alot of rain this spring but gradually having warmer sunnier days now
Amazing Maya and an extended dance break! Incredible, big love to you and see you on the next one x
Just an thought, maybe get yourself a decent roller, a few thick naps, an extendable long arm, & a 5 gallon bucket with a roll-off screen to hook onto the inside. You'll still have to mop-in some of the deeper crevasses with a brush.. but it'd go along a lot faster & you'll be able to reach a lot higher & further. Imo 😉 Best wishes! 🏡
Olá boa noite Maya estou muito feliz por ver a sua alegria ,com o seu tra balho tenho visto quase todos os seu vidios da recuperação da fazenda e da casa,mas coitado com a segurança , a continuações de bom trabalho 🌹
have a look at a ram pump, you need no electricity and it can pump up hill in to a storage tank
Hi from North Carolina, USA. I am enjoying viewing your channel!
Hey! You are doing an amazing job! Even had a rope! I mean looked for an hour now at your videos. It's amazing what you and your helpers do! Wish you all the best! 🎉❤
I just tuned in ,keep going
I know somewhere you said yr German ,but your our Karen Blixen in 2024
Portugal reminds me of Australia 🇦🇺 Eucalyptus trees ,we love because our Koala s need and love
Floods ,bushfires poisenous snakes we love it all here ,yes the acacia too just called Wattle
Im enjoying yr pioneer journey 😌yr accent yr tenacity, ❤ it girl .
I agree Maya that extra coat of paint has made the walls look a lot better. Glad you made a start strengthening the down stairs walls. Just for your reference the weather in the UK has also been rubbish so you’re not on your own. Take care stay safe ❤❤❤
Watch out for ticks on bare legs. I just got one and I was only out on my lawn with trousers on. It was carrying lime’s as many do in Scotland.
While i do agree with other comments that the amount you've got to do at height, it'd be worth looking at some proper scaffolding, what you had looked well built and you were aware of the risks. What scared me was using the ladder not fully extended - this is likely to move and topple you to the floor. Yes a less serious fall than from the scaffolding, but much more likely to happen because you don't seem to be aware of the danger.
Maya your always entertaining to watch, dancing, singing and building, what more could we ask for. Great vlog.
Maya plant some Aloe vera plants, they are great for healing burns, as well as sun burn and other skin irritations, just cut one off the stems and squeeze the sap, rub on affected area.💚
You are doing an amazing job. Your stamina and creativity are most impressive. As for the safety issue. There are levels of being safe. On a construction project where multiple trades are interacting, the risk for unsafe conditions is high. That is the reason that those projects are watched (and checked) closely and frequently. You seem to be aware of where your feet are and what you have to do to protect yourself. I think you are just fine and this is coming from an engineer with construction experience. Keep up the awesome work you are doing. Best regards!!!
I think your scaffold was just fine. The thing I feel so sketch about is how that concrete balcony has zero support. I keep thinking one day you are going out there and thats the day the concrete fails. This is just me, I’d be cutting up my “scaffolding” and making bracing with it under my concrete balcony. Cheers
From what I remember the concrete pad of the balcony extends via the doorway into the house sub floor to counter balance the balcony so is structurally strong
Hey maya , you probably know what you’re doing because I am watching your videos to have some idea of what I’m gonna do with my property in central Portugal very similar to yours and you helped me to clear some stuff
I love your updates!
Du bist mutig. Steh dazu!
Ich find euer Baugerüst klasse. 👍
Love all your work!
Rollers work so much better and faster full nap for rough walls. Well with normal paint not sure with lye
It's cool today in Nashville, TN it was in the upper 70s a couple of days ago, 64°f today upper 70s for the next 7 days. It gets severely humid here in Tennessee during the. We get lots of rain all summer. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Ummm make sure when you put the floor in washroom to use rebar. The walls your poured down there may just cave forward as they are not tied to the structure so your floor will have to basically keep them from possibly collapsing inward from the downward pressure of you structure. Ideally you should have dug under the walls in places and poured some footings for both walls to sit on.
Yucca have a huge bulbous root which will push your fence over. Give them plenty of room so this won't happen to you.
Bona Dia, all the way from Connecticut enjoying your video's your hard work is paying off...🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Hi Maya. I just found your channel this evening. I love your work.
I am going to suggest moving those yukkas from aove the walll. The roots will push it over
Cheers from the Caribbean! Interesting little spot you have there. Very cool. Building my own spot here. Like watching how people do things in other locations. Good idea generator.
Keep up the hard work. Can't wait to see when you do some hydro power.
Greetings from 🇬🇷 🇬🇷!!!!Another wonderful video!!!!
Goede morgen je bent weer goed bezig geweest jonge dame veel regen maar jij bent het zonnetje van Portugal 👌🙏 groetjes Willem uit Nederland 👍👍
I think your going to be doing a lot of clambering about. Maybe look for some second hand scafolding towers. It all looks great 😃😃😍😍😎😎
Thank You For Sharing Maya ! Watching from London reminded me soo much of my projects on my farm house in Africa
I was a bit worried about the scaffolding until you put the brick there.
This makes me confirm the worst fear I have always had about my own character ...that I am LAZY ....sitting watching youtube videos on renovations, people working so hard using their own hands to transform homes....maybe I can still change ...
Maya I came across one of your videos and have worked my way through from the beginning. Im loving your channel, you have such a nice property and you have done amazing work in such a short time x
Hello from the Barossa valley in South Australia, you are doing a great job 😊
Maya, i love watching your videos. Your work is absolutely inspiring. An working with only using what you have on hand is a joy to watch.
Please keep up the awesome work. I look forward to see how your world continues to improve, impress, and how it will look when completed.
I was wondering what kind of books do you like to read on days when you can not work on improvements?
Hello Maya. Greetings from Port ELIZABETH, Summerstrand ,Gqeberha, South Africa. 😊
Yesss,.. new video,..!! 😃😃😃
☕✨✨✨
Edit: you need a stunt double,.. 😅😅😅
I love #dancing Maya! Again you are one amazing woman!😘
I love how inventive you are! The scaffold worked so well!
Feel so good watch people solving them problems and even against any setback they choose be Happy, i can feel your soul guess why? :)
Love your videos!
