  • Jumping right into the renovation of the cellar of my traditional Portuguese stone house! Luckily I'm not alone this week as I have help from Dave and two workers. Taking the floor out by hand is the hardest workout yet (at least this year!).

      Yeah, just got another reply from an account trying to impersonate you. Tried to report the reply, but the options offered does not have a classification for fake impersonators.
      Hope you can get it investigated.
      Nasty people in this world, it shouldn’t be necessary for you to bother with that.

      You should think of putting the toilet and sink in the up floor bedroom. It is very convenient to be able to leave your bed and go straight to the toilet. Worth considering. Shower and wash area can be downstairs.

    Still watching your episode but before all the hundred messages, please, please...do a bio system instead of a simple septic system. A 3 stage system seconded by a plant evaporation area would be the best. Can be done with three IBC 1000lts tanks and you'll use the water for irrigation and not contaminating the water sources as you live close to a stream.

    Great Job Maya and Dave and then the other lads who helped level the floor. Top job as this is really hard work.. be sure to rest your back in between heavy days/weeks as this can really take a toll on your back if not stretching, and recovering properly (with some rest in between) Great job! 💪

    Another room/floor/dampness, water penetration rebuild. This time more experienced. Back in a dark, dusty, damp room. So much progress made upstairs. Great that you unblocked the window opening. Some reusable flag stones.
    Soon time to install a superior septic system as you get more volunteers and workers on site. Great start on room 2.

    Great job Maya and crew. No matter the conditions, that is hard work. And you had difficult conditions. I hope you are able to get your conduit relocated so it is off the wall and under the floor. That will be a big visual improvement.
    I would like to make a suggestion about building a rubble pile. Always look to see if there is a location that would benefit from fill. That is where you start your rubble pile. Then move outward as more fill becomes available. In this case, I would have started filling right at your stone patio where the elevation of the soil starts to drop. If you had started there, you have a nice level pad adjacent to your patio for future expansion.
    When moving material, it is always best to move it once. Hope that is useful some day 🤓👍

    Maya, I love everything you are doing with the property. Your videos are awesome! But, as a horticulturist, I must tell you that you and Dave planted that apple tree way to low and you added quite a bit of soil on the top of the tree. In the future plant your trees an inch or two above the existing soil elevation and bring soil up to the top of the ball. Especially with apples, adding soil on the top of the ball like that you probably covered the graft and will promote lots of sucker growth which you will have to prune constantly. Don't forget to mulch the tree.
