    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!

    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

      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'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 😂

    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! 🏡

    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.

    hope you are keep the balcony & railings close to original too; they're a bit small for my liking but i guess they go with the houses; will you be putting a roof over the the tiny house you just completed? it would protect the door way a lot better & maybe help with the damp
    love that you keep it all real & in the moment

    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.

    I think your scaffold was just fine. The thing I feel so sketch about is how that concrete balcony has zero support.
