    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.

      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 🤓 ❤

    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 :)

    • @mayafeliz
      @mayafeliz  Před měsícem +2

      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!

    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.

    It's not the best process to use portland cement-based mortar on old masonry. You should be using NHL (naturally hydraulic lime)mortar.

    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.

    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.

    For "Old wall" preferred a lime mortar because the wall “breathe”, cement mortar is waterproof and retains humidity. Hope this is not too late???
