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.
Also a dust mask. Inhaling those small particles are not good for the lungs.
Don’t forget not to run with scissors!
Also please wear protective goggles/glasses when grinding away chunks. 😢 I saw big pieces go quite close to your eyes when you were cutting away/grinding the wall to get the hole through 🤓 ❤
**We're all here cheering you on and hoping you're doing all you can to be safe, happy and keep on dancing! Forget about RUclips rules. It's ALL about YOU, girl! AND YOUR AMAZING LIFE!!!!
Yes! Morning tea with Maya. It's getting so beautiful Maya. You are creating a awesome home.
Same here
Mixing mortar by hand in a wheelbarrow with a enxada is so Portuguese style 😀
I also watch a young woman in Vietnam who builds almost everything on her land with the rocks and motar. Meanwhile, I sit in my recliner and be amazed. Fighting with that membrane would have sent me to the liquor cabinet. Well done Maya
Sim! É mais fácil 😄
You don't give up when things get tough . You will succeed 😊
You are such a hard working person, I love it. Good luck!
Dealing with that Vapor Barrier would have been the death of me.
You are very patient Maya!
I was surprised myself that it worked as planned!
First the membrane then the bricks.
MAYA I SO ENJOY WATCHING YOUR PROGRESS YOU HAVE BEOME MY FAVORITE
It’s so exciting to see you master every process as you make your dreams a reality! You’re inspiring 💥
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
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.
Love to see you working, finding out the methodology your way, even sometimes it is wrong, but the end result is okay.❤❤
I recommend you paint the old masonary inside wall with a masonary sealer. It will keep dampness out.
You should consider using that little waterfall area for hydropower!
Auch wenn wir uns nicht kennen, so freut es mich, deine Freude beim verwirklichen Deines Traumes zu sehen. Vielen Dank dafür.
Ich freue mich auf mehr.
Maya,
Greeting from Croatia. You never cease to amaze me with your projects. Love your free spirit.
"Happy Wall" is going to be my new comment for any wall I see from now on.
I read this comment before I watched happy wall in the video and it made me extra happy. 😊
You are doing a fantastic job well done. Love from yanchep Western Australia

It's not the best process to use portland cement-based mortar on old masonry. You should be using NHL (naturally hydraulic lime)mortar.
Thanks, I know that. I used half lime half cement because it's for structural support too.
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 :)
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.
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!
I love that you take time out to do a little dance. I love your content and thanks for sharing ☮️💜
Victory dance...LOL.
MAYA Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍
Nice progress! Thanks for showing a real ending of the video.
You are a grafter Maya ! Keep up the good work. All the best from Aberdeen Scotland 🏴
You are all the motivation anyone could need. Wow.
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.
What an inspiration you are ,love you girl and what you do ,you are a hero! 😊
Good luck in everything you do 💛
Maya, have you thought about about hiring some goats to help you keep the grass down, hope your keeping well and please stay safe. ❤️🇬🇧🙏
Goats are great in theory but destroy everythiny
Goats are hard to handle, they jump over every fence! They are so cute though
@@mayafeliz cuter in a curry.
amazing how much positiv energy you have. keep up the good work
wow love to see how it transform. and you are very skilled
You quite amazing Maya! Nice job!
Nice job on the brick laying!
You are gradually getting there will look good when done x
Top work Maya, big love and keep dancing x
Good morning Maya you certainly are a builder would you take on apprentice and show him how to do it right please note 9 to 5 no 5 am starts 😂😂😂
You are a joy to watch. So industrious and determined. You are creating a beautiful home 💎🙏💕🐨
Very clever and creative way to keep the downstairs dry! ❤
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.
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.
Grama from Canada , love watching your adventures, YOU GO GIRL!!!!
Looking great you’re really doing a good job 👍
Great video Maya! 🙌🏻
A word of advice if I may: Be careful with your hair when using the grinder.
Thank you for posting and sharing.
I’m a new subscriber from Canada and watching the different building techniques is cool some are the same others are very different, keep up the quality content.👍
Greetings from Melbourne 🇦🇺
It will be interesting to see how the temperature inside to outdoors with these 2 rooms
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 🔥 ❤
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.
Absolutely there are plenty of youtube videos that have done so
I have been looking forward to your new RUclips posts
Looks very tedious. I admire your persistence and work ethic. Keep it up and your place will be amazing.
You are fantastic in every way!✊🫶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love that you talk to your buildings
dear Maya, you are amaze me every video!! I'm so proude of you and envy at you, with your amazing motivation strength and resourcefulness. Wonderwomam!! Keep going.❤💪👏🙌
Check into something called Grout bags. You could squeeze the grout into small spaces like frosting and then smooth with a trowel.
Calendar piping bags will do the same, just not cheap ones
Adding the wall won’t (on its own) stop condensation. What are you planning to do to increase airflow… extractor??
Je me demandais aussi si l’air « emprisonné » entre les 2 parois ne redistribuerait pas l’humidité vers le mur en brique? je n’ai pas vu d’isolation avec une membrane étanche coté extérieur du nouveau mur😮
I have a question , the black dust in the wall is Moho? Do we have to scrap de wall with a steel brush before put the cement? O it is right to put the cement over the Moho?
@@myla2102last summer, she and her volunteers dug out the outside of that wall, reinforced it, and put a membrane to repel water. Today it has been filled in but it is water repellent on the exterior.
@@sherylchapman4168 oh c’était ce mur? Je comprend mieux! Merci
Love the river. You were fortunate to find land with houses and a river through it!
Maya your house will look really nice if you plant some flowers
My new favorite way to start Sundays! Your videos are inspiring, fun and beautiful. There's nothing you can't do!!! Have a great week! * from Virginia, USA🤸🏼♂️🤸🏼🤸🏼♀️
The more i see the more amazed i am by your dedication and hard work.
Maya, why are you mixing the cement in the wheelbarrow? Work smarter, not harder! Save yourself from back pain later in life and use the cement mixer. I use my cement mixer to mix my dirt for propagating seeds and making compost for garden beds.
You are doing a wonderful job on the renovations xx
Hi, the mixer is terrible to clean, so if I just need a wheelbarrow it's a lot easier to just mix it by hand :)
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.
I'm very excited to see that you almost have 100,000 subscribers! Soon. Some money will flow your way and nobody deserves it more than you! You do a great job and you entertain and delight us every week! ❤
I learned so much about stone working,bless you my German friend
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.
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! 👍🥰👍
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.
Well done , doing it right and not fast , I love your patience and you perseverance. You can be very proud of yourself
You should wear protective goggles or a shield in case stones are flicked up when strimming as so often happens.
NICE JOB
Maya, it is looking good. I like your little dances.❤
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
Great job and hello from Barossa valley in south Australia
Beautiful.
Maya, you never cease to amaze me with your willingness to learn new skills whilst creating your dream. It’s looking great. Loving the leaves coming through and all your potato plants and apple blossom.. let’s hope the weather warms up for you soon 😊
Bon travail Maya la maison prends forme, passe une bonne semaine 🌺🌺
I just love it when you do your happy dance….🙂😄😁
Good morning ❤ I am so impressed by your work ethic and capabilities. Very smart and beautiful young lady ! Stay safe and warm
I have one more on my list is to work on a stone house and road I have already build my tiny home on a hill with homestead
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.
100k subs very soon😊🎉
Good enough 😊
Thanks for the upload
Good morning. The membrane would probably be better to have installed it on the rick walls prior yo putting up the interior brick. Just something to think about as you continue building
I was about to write the same thing. Even if the membrane has to be attached to the interior brick wall at the top, it would have been a lot easier to first temporarily hang it from the ceiling close to the outer wall.
While I am at it, I would recommend closing those gaps between the outer wall and the brick wall at the open ends, leaving some (enough) ventilations slots as you don't want critters making their home in between the walls.
Maya you are so happy to achieve this hard work by yourself I admire your courage in this lovely nature take care the house looking great bye
All that hard work with a smile..you're awesome 😊
You are so amazing and so interesting to listen to! I look forward to watching all your vids. I would have loved ro have done this 25 uears ago. I still want to do this. But hurt so badly daily, that I am unsure how long I would last. It would take me much longer now. We have always done everything ourselves.
Love how you work so hard to accomplish getting the job done love you
Ya you're a builder, not only are you doing a great job but you're enjoying it
Big up for your work ! I hope your humidity problem won't persist... That is always challenging...
You're such a hard worker Maya. So exciting to see all your vision unfold. Be sure to get enough rest.❤
i'm putting a comment mainly for the algorithm, i've bunch watched a lot of your vid, loved it, love to see how you learn how to do things, you have a wonderful piece of land, don't hesitate to do more part of the video with camera just recording the timelapse of the land (it will give even more immersion)
Keep fighting, don't give up!
2:03 Are you filling in the gaps with cement mortar? I’m kind of sad that the stone is getting covered but I know it will brighten the space up when it’s all rendered. The air gap is a good idea. And with lime products it will help your building breathe and dry out. Not sure how the membrane will help though. But I’m no expert so know nothing.😂
Amazing!
Bloody well done with that drilling. I know that pain.
Question about the ventilation:
How will you cover the opening left between the old wall and the new be the outside door?
I have a similar strimmer - hard work..
You are amazing
You are such an inspiration Maya. GOD bless you and protect you always.
Watching with enjoyment from the Philippines.
