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.

He’s not wrong about the grinder. Or anything that spins really. I had a cousin lose a chunk of hair once like that.

First the membrane then the bricks.

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

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

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

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!

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

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 :)

@mayafeliz

Hi, I left the stone wall open to breathe into the air gap to prevent mold. The membrane will be close to the brick wall to prevent most of the moisture to soak into the brick wall which is very thin.

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

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

Top work Maya, big love and keep dancing x

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.

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

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

I love that you talk to your buildings

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

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

You could add some rocks to the river to dam up the water to create a swimming pool. Loving the content btw. Great work.

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

Greetings from Melbourne 🇦🇺

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

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.

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

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.

You should consider using that little waterfall area for hydropower!

NICE JOB

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

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

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 🔥 ❤

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.

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.

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

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

Thanks for the upload

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

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

Good enough 😊

Beautiful.

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

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.

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! 👍🥰👍

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

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.

Love love your 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.

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

Great job and hello from Barossa valley in south Australia

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

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!

Great job, Mya!

Well done so fun to see it all come together 🎉

WOW! So great progress! Remember to have som ventilation openings and probably a bathroomfan in the wall that can be turn on and of when it it is moist in the room! So you have started whit hoolahoop

It looks wonderful, Maya!

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.

great job!

Great job Maya the building work looks awesome

its looks great Maya 👍

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.
