Many years ago i sanded drywall without a mask and i ended up with a major sinus infection. I've worn a mask since. Looking good! Also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the buildings will look like.

You had a vision, a dream and you went after it and just look at all you have done you should be so proud!!!!! I look so forward to your videos so I can see the progress and to soak up that amazing energy you put forth into this world!!!!!!! You never give up I love that!!!!! You have created your own paradise!!!!!!! You are fearless , courageous and authentic and kind you are unstoppable!!!!!!! thank you for sharing your journey!!!! You are a true inspiration to all!!!!!!
Maya, a word of caution, please wear a mask to protect your lungs and your helper’s lungs from the dust. The damage can take years to manifest itself. Great progress!
Maya A tip for those "fluffies" you experienced.... with most rollers or paintbrushes there are always a few loose fibers that get pulled out. A way to avoid them while painting is to flex the new brushes thoroughly before usage and then use compressed air to blow them free of any loose hairs/fibers. For the rollers, wrap around the new roller with painters tape in a spiral, squishing it well into nap of roller and allow to sit a while or overnight if convenient. When you unwrap the loosest materials will pull off sticking to the tape. Just like those lint removers you can buy, and if you have compressed air, use it to blow away anything else as roller spins on applicator handle. This process will give you a really clean roller. This can be repeated after cleaning paintbrushes or rollers a few times before they start to come apart and need replacement depending on their quality. I'd rather buy cheap ones and replace frequently than buy expensive ones and hope they'll last long enough to recoup costs...
Hi Maya, when sweeping dusty floors, sprinkle the floor with water, for example, from a plastic bottle with a hole in or an old washing up liquid bottle. The dust clings to the water and doesn't make a big dust cloud as you sweep. It is much healthier.
Hi Maya , your house is looking great ! Congratulations! Just a little advise , when sanding the joints of the ceiling always wear a mask , that dust can eventually harm your lungs . Great job👍
Also wear goggles. I clogged my tear ducts with that plaster dust, which gets into the tear ducts.Then the plaster dust reactivates, then dries again solid in your tear duct, leaving you with eyes that water all of the time.. Best wishes.
So happy for you and your home as you and friends are moving along. Your dance moves remind me of the dancing in a discotheque in Munich next to a very small bar called The Old English Coffee and Tea House. I used to go there in the late 70’s 77 to 79. I was stationed in Augsburg for just over 3 years. I really ❤your vibe on your channel 😊keep up the great work!
Die Räume sind einfach nur unfassbar fantastisch geworden! Aber bitte bitte denk an deine Lunge und trage einen geeigneten Staubschutz (FFP2 oder Filtermaske) und am besten einen vernünftigen Schutzanzug!. Du hast nur ein Leben und eine Lunge und ist die einmal geschädigt gibt es nur wenig möglichkeiten den Zustand vor der Schädigung herzustellen. Der Staub an sich ist nicht nur als Staub gefährlich, sondern auch nicht gut für deine Haut, wo er doch die Haut und Haare austrocknet! Pass auf dich auf und viel Erfolg weiterhin beim Realisieren deines tollen Traums in Portugal! 😊
Maya the house is amazing what improvement since I have been watching you with your happy life well done thanks for the helpers that make it easy for you nice to have lights now looking great enjoy see you soon bye
Maya 🤗 you rock girl. Just 😊 want to tell you how much inspiration you bring with a happy attitude. I saw you struggling with your trench and I saw you used the tractor in your property, it will be great to make a road to the top of your house. Too many steps and for construction it will be easy access to your pretty home.
Maya in the future you don't have to sand that mud you can use a sponge. Less dust. It's amazing what you have learned to do. I am amazed. You pulled your wires through and everything. LOOKING GOOD. Gina in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal/Italy
Fabulous work as always, Maya! I love how you get in there and do as much of the work that you can and that you have so many people who jump in to help besides the professionals!!
Hola Maya✨ It’s looking soo soo soo beautiful🥳 I am so happy for you to enjoy every step of progress, revealing your vision and ALL the incredible dedication and heart and Soul you’ve poured into this property❤️🔥 Bravo Sister🎉
I made the same mistake sanding the ceiling until someone showed me to do it with a damp sponge and feather it in. Works great! Much easier and no dust. You just have to have a bucket to keep cleaning the sponge and water. Great job Maya! So much progress!
Great job. Just a little tip but when painting remember to do your cutting in first ( the edges with a brush) before filling in with a roller. When using filler, try using an old credit card you get a much more even coat which means less sanding 😊
Maya, your one amazing powerhouse of a woman 🎉🎉❤❤❤. My goodness is there anything that you won't try your hand at. I love your happy dance 🩰 at the end of your finished work 😂😂🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations on you, what a beautiful beautiful home you have.
Aah plasterboard installation and mud work. Finally something I have some experience with though in the US we use drywall. It goes so much quicker than most of your other projects and it’s so satisfying to look at after you’re finished. 😊 Thanks so much for another feel good video. 🤗
Another transformation Maya 👏👏👏👏 From a dark and bleak cellar to a bright modern livable space … and your list of accomplishments continue to grow… installation of ceilings and placing of the perfect light fittings… The joy and satisfaction of transforming your property is definitely a reason to dance 💃 Durban SA🇿🇦
Oh, boy! One thing about getting older is knowing when I can no longer do things I used to do, and dry-walling ceilings is one I will definitely not miss! Still, they do look great once the back-breaking work is finished. Well done!
I love watching your videos, I do have one tip for placing that ceiling, also add rulers to the walls, so you can attach the plates to those rulers as well, now you could end up with a sagging ceiling when you add plaster. Putting the rulers on the walls, can you also make it easier to level your ceiling. Also the boards that connect both rooms together, might also transfer sound from one space to another. Don't know if that's an issue for you. But might be something for other rooms. Keep up the hard work!
Hi Maya, you should be very very PROUD of all that you have achieved , I imagine that it doesn't take much rocking for you to go to sleep 💤😴, you have done so many different types of jobs, sanding ceilings is my pet hate.Now you must see the light at the end of the tunnel.I look forward to your video every week, take care.Noreen Readett Australia 🦘
Great relentless work ethic ! You take time to do the job correctly but take time to protect your major investment which is yourself. I saw your video where you dusted your shirt off and I saw the taping compound come off . Imagine the same compound ingested in your lungs and coating your eyes. Make sure to keep dancing into your new life you're creating healthy and with a smile.
Awww, Sunday morning again and first things first…coffee and Maya 😊 you are just so darn cute! “Gailomat” had me rolling 😂 I almost spit out my coffee. I wished everyone could understand these little German bits and pieces that you randomly leave in your vids, when you talk to your friends or family. It’s a different Maya, as we all change when we switch between languages. I remember once when I was traveling in the States and happened to call home and then talked to friends right after that. I basically talked in 3 different languages in 30 mins and when I turned around, the people I traveled with just stared at me, laughed and said “who are you?” 😂 It never really occurred to me how differently we express ourselves the second we switch languages…even the sound of our voices change, the pace, higher, lower…it’s freaky. However, I love when you speak German, because it’s an unfiltered you…like a “snapshot Maya”. And then you dance 😊🫶 Gotta love you, what can I say? You are so full of joy and life… it’s endearing. You do you, sweet Maya! ❤
So a guest would have to go outside to get to the bathroom?! Much smarter to have a bedroom next to the bathroom, for guests - especially like her parents have ensuite bathroom! Office?! Ha!
Amazing progress! Some unsolicited advice: unless it's a bathroom, kitchen or small kids room, ceilings and walls always look classier with flat paint.
Maya….I thought where is your mask at the beginning of your video and then saw you bought a heavy duty one…phew! Great progress on the house in the last few weeks. 😊. Love your dancing and celebrating life and your success so far. ❤
Congratulations on the renovation of your house. It's a long process but it's coming together well. Keep celebrating, keep dancing and pour yourself a glass of wine. You deserve it.
Many years ago i sanded drywall without a mask and i ended up with a major sinus infection. I've worn a mask since.
Looking good! Also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the buildings will look like.
Maya, it gives me such joy to see the water wheel turning, and hopefully in the future playing a part in your energy generation.
I am so happy for you!!!! You are amazing!!! Your positivity, and enthusiasm is contagious!!!!! I have been following you since the beginning and I am just in awe of you, you never give up and you have accomplished so much.

I was also worried about that!
Did you get a bit dusty?
That is also what your lungs got, please thing about that.
Otherwise, you are doing grate. Take care.
Also wear goggles. I clogged my tear ducts with that plaster dust, which gets into the tear ducts.Then the plaster dust reactivates, then dries again solid in your tear duct, leaving you with eyes that water all of the time.. Best wishes.
Was just going to suggest this.
PPE! Never work without it. Never!!!
So much getting done. It looks good. Let there be light! Love your little dances.😂❤
nice progress, congratulations! You're such an all-rounder! I always enjoy your happy dances! I loved seeing the water wheel turning!
So happy for you and your home as you and friends are moving along.

Brilliant Maya!
Please make sure you now give the inverter/battery system a good blow out with a blower - the dust will really mess with things!

Random one when you put up the drywall don’t you need to plaster it before painting. Living watching your progress.

Hello Maya, you make great progress with the 2 rooms. It is looking great.
pretty amazing. good job for someone who didn't know what they were doing, I mean the contractor guy. At least he can say he's hung sheetrock before.
Wow Maya you got a lot done this week! Keep up the good work!
That is stunning.
Congratulations

Love your channel, you are such a hard worker.
O seu sorriso é encantador. Além disso, os seus vídeos transmitem uma sensação de paz. Obrigado!
Hi from America love your content
Good to have professional less cost in long run. Love from Virginia. p.s. looking good 👍
Personally I think that room next to the bathroom would make a better office than bedroom. But you do you and continue the awesome work!
So a guest would have to go outside to get to the bathroom?! Much smarter to have a bedroom next to the bathroom, for guests - especially like her parents have ensuite bathroom! Office?! Ha!
It is very cosy space. Congratulation ❤
Well done !!🙏🥰
Your house is coming together nicely x
Good job Maya looks good.
Maya, PLEASE wear a mask for any type of dust. It gets in the lungs, and it stays there. However, enjoying all your great progress. Pls be Safe. x
Fantastic. I love everything you have done. ❤
You ladies did a good job painting
Doing great
Amazing progress! Some unsolicited advice: unless it's a bathroom, kitchen or small kids room, ceilings and walls always look classier with flat paint.
Another milestone! Great work!
Maya….I thought where is your mask at the beginning of your video and then saw you bought a heavy duty one…phew! Great progress on the house in the last few weeks. 😊. Love your dancing and celebrating life and your success so far. ❤
