Maya…I want to visit Portugal this year. When is a good time to visit? I don’t want to come in the heat or rainy seasons. Thanks

Did you pre drill the holes before putting the screws in?
It was a lot of work but now you're 100% sure that the balcony is sturdy and safe. Enjoy your princess balcony ❤

That balcony is going to be around over two hundred years from now if it was made out of wood fifty year's or less
Every Princess deserves a balcony ✨ 😊

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!" 😄
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! 🌺

Oh good idea. I was thinking the balcony railing is so pretty (well really the top half of her house - maya, I’m digging the coat of white paint. It really pops now). But I was mentally trying to figure out how to beautify the support columns to look as good as the balcony. bougainvilleas vines or other flowering climbing vines would mask the support columns and add to the enchanted cottage look. I’m excited to see what you do next whatever that may be. Your vision is coming to life!

Ohhh I like the idea of vines growing up the columns. Personally I'd go for jasmine, because then she'd be treated to the beautiful scent when she's enjoying her balcony or even when she has her windows open.
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.
Such a happy positive person Maya. A real pleasure to watch your channel 😊🇦🇺
I love the balcony railing - such a traditional design by a talented craftsman. You are all safe there now.
Maya, you epitomize the saying..."If you can't have fun at what your doing, then you should not be doing it." :)
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 never stop working,Maya,and that helps a lot towards the progress. Everything is fine and coming together beautifully.❤
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. 🎉
nothing better than BREAKFAST WITH MAYA from the east coast of America!
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 👏👍🙋🏼♂️
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.
You go, girl. So very proud of you. You are going to have a beautiful home. You are a hard worker.
Maya you fill our hearts, you do what the rest of us fantasize!
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.
Amazing Work Maya….You will look back one day and all the hard work will be proud memories 😊

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!🌞🌻❤️
I’m usually irritated by advertisements but you did it in a natural and sincere way!
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! 🥰🌷🌺🪴
I cannot believe that anyone would not enjoy your happy dance!
Congratulations 🎊 it's a wonderful princess balcony. 😊
I was hoping the balcony will get supported like that. It’s beautiful, it changes the whole aspect of the house too❤
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...😚

I like the 2 supports. It makes me think it is there to stay. Climbing vines would look beautiful up those poles.
@lubomirochotnicky7594

I also think you did not need these two pillars: two people and the railing (beautiful one) and the metal horizontal beam above both pillars were pushing down that balcony BEFORE the pillars were installed, so why you needed them? The point of balcony is the horizontal extention attached to the vertical wall, technically, this is not a balcony anymore. This is an ok solution if you needed the support, but it does not seem so. BTW: I am not a critic of yours, I have been watching and admiring you from the beginning, I just disagree/do not understand the need of these pillars (and I am a construction engineer). anyway: impressive life and river and work: keep going!!

I wondered the same thing as several other people here. Wasn't the balcony supported with metal rods going under the bedroom floor? It was cantilevered, right? Making any additional support unnecessary? Whatever makes you feel safe though, of course, Maya. I can't wait to see how your beautiful place turns out. I enjoy your spirit and light and watching the progress that all your hard work has accomplished. And, I too love your happy dances. We are kindred spirits in that regard. I dance to the music in my head many times throughout the day. 😃 Let's go!
We are all proud of you and all that you do. Congratulations
I'm 67 and I've built a lot. You should be so proud, Beautiful!
Smart use of the rubble to help stabilize the ground there.
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! ❤️
Maybe that lovely terrace you were making the shuttering on??
A beautiful railing the guy done a brilliant job.
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. ❤️
Well Princess Maya ... now you have two posts for a swinging chair or a hammock. Looks great - Paul 😃😃😍😍😎😎
Congratulations Maya ,it looks amazing. Concreting is not a easy thing to do.
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!
am so pleased you are doing your balcony you will be much safer now
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?🌻💃🙏

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 ✌️👊😘
The balcony is fit for a princess. All of that hard work paid off. You will enjoy that for years to come.❤
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.
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!!
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
Beautiful handmade work!!!
What a beautiful and well-designed railing that is Maya it is a credit to all your hard work.
Well done Sista, such a gynormous effort for a wonderful reward 👏🎶💕👏
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.
Maya hi. The balcony is looking good.
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.
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.
Princess Maya! What a beautiful balcony! Congratulations and big love x
Congrats on the new balcony and railing to the hardest working woman on KZread. Such an inspiration!!!
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!
What an amazing journey to get to this point. Amazing work girl. And unlike the previous builders you will always have a pictorial/video history for the newcomers 100 years from now. Just beautiful.
Railing is beautiful
I'm Brazilian and I think it's so cute when you speak Portuguese
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)

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😊
Climbing florals.
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 ?
How I admire your work. just watching it makes my back hurt 😄
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.
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
If you drill a hole first in hard wood and then you screw it would be much easyer.
I love it when you dance. The dancing princess has her royal balcony😊
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 😊😊
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, 🧚♀️👸❤
Oh--a retractable awning would be next on my list 😘 👩🌾😎
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. 🌿🌱
bit of overkill for those foundations but those post now stronger than house 😁 well done

The foundation are good enough to support a house not only a balcony 😂
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.
your balcony looks amazing. you should paint it with a pop of color and also hang hanging plants from underneath.
Well done, that balcony will stand the test of time. Such a hard worker. I bet you sleep well!
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. 😌👏👍😀❤️❤️❤️
Guten Morgen Maya, I still admire your hard work and dedication as well as enjoying how beautiful your house is.
A little hint or a piece of builders advice: Next time you concrete a metal pole in the ground get a water seal paint or a membrane to put over the part that's going inside the concrete. Because over time metal posts concreted into the ground the concrete holds moisture up against that metal and rusts them out. Now it may take 30-40 years to rust it out at ground level depending on how thick the metal is but concrete against metal without something blocking the moisture from coming into contact with the metal it will rust out in the ground usually at ground level. 😉
You worked so hard and it was worth it. Now you can relax and use your balcony. It is a beautiful railing.
Very nice balcony railing, hand crafted 👍 and hard work 👍
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.
Way to go! Such a cool addition to your beautiful place.
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
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. 😊
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
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 enthusiasm and joie de vivre are so infectious!
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.
Dear Maya, your balcony turned out really mega!!! What a great reward after such hard work, it was worthwhile!!!!
Wonderful now sofften all those edges with two climbing roses and clematis
Maya, you are an incredible woman! Congratulations on all you have achieved so far. 🎉
