Starting a New Build! Hardest Workout Yet

- 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.
Haiii miss apa kabar from Indonesia, I like for watching your video... Sorry my English little....
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.
Curious if you have multiple fruit tree species so they can cross-pollinate and you'll get the fruit you desire? Also will you bees?
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.
I'm planning to do a biological black water treatment as the second stage, happy about any links on how to build one! 🙏
U just killed his back when you dropped the step.
This!!!! 💯
Oven is for bread and to make food specifically in Easter we eat rice potatoes and meat cooked in the oven. Welcome to Portugal 😘
Wow you guys had to go even deeper!
That was hard work, but really enjoyed it 😊.
Thanks for all the lovely comments guys x
You and Maya did a great job! Thank you for helping her and it was lovely to see you back there.
Very clever to push the wall back like that. Everyone needs a Dave.
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.
Dave thanks for helping Maya you are a amazing person ❤️
Nice to have you back! Dave is a great help.
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 🤓👍
That big box coyld be treated and used for putting a sink on for one end your bathroom and then having a big beautiful vanity area next to the sink. Its perfect. I cant wait for your amazing finished room.
Wow, you have hard working friends. Hope that wasn't a vacation week for him.
You can treat the woodworm damage. If you watch videos from The Repair Shop, the woodworking guru, Will Kirk, does great treatment for woodworm damage. Missed you last week! Great to have you back :o)
you can treat woodworm and keep the box for linen or towells
Was going to say that. Absolutely beautiful piece of furniture
I thought the same thing, stand it upright add shelves
of course I'll keep it, it's wonderful 😊
😭
Love watching all your little dances throughout all of this. Very talented. lol
The stones from the floor could make a nice patio some where,you remind me of myself when I was younger just do it
Ah, I remember when I was younger and could work all day at that pace. I once dug out a basement one 5 gallon bucket on a cart at a time. I admire your persistence. Keep up the good work, I'm really enjoying your build.
Sunday morning, tea with Maya. lets Gooooo
Dave looks like a keeper ...
I was watching them and was like they would be a great match❤
I thought the same thing the very first time Dave appeared... 😊
Just 6 minutes in so far, and my lower back is aching just watching you guys! 😃 Your strength and determination is admirable. Even when I was that young, I'm not sure I could've done all that heavy lifting and carrying. I am SO happy for you that you will have a nicer bathroom now🤸🏻♀️❤.
What a job again ! You and Dave seem to work very well together.
On Sunday morning your video is the one!! Your joyfulness lifts the spirit!!
Top work Maya and Dave! Thanks for the dance break too, love to you all x
Que bom, já está a começar a rotina dos vídeos do domingo, sem dúvida os meus preferidos ❤🇵🇹
Gosh you work so hard .Dave and yourself work well together. Looking forward to the rest of the videos 👍👍
WOW Miya, you both worked so hard, great job, excited to watch this room evolve 😊
Do the walls have enough support? it might be useful to make a small wall of concrete to support the bottom of the walls.
Absolutely . The wall foundations have destabilized . That was a big mistake unless they plan on pouring concrete benching .
Maya Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍
Good morning and a Happy Easter to you Maya, safe travels Dave, all I can say is WOW what an amazing start to your new bathroom 😃👌🌈🤟
Thank you Sonya, same to you!
You can squeeze mortar out a plastic bag like icing a cake. it will help you get mortar into cracks and tite places .like repairs or just lined the rock walls . hope this helps you out
Hello Maya, place plastic sheeting on the floor before starting the floor to avoid infiltration and humidity on the future floor and walls. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 😅🎉❤
Wow, the soil looks INCREDIBLE! You struck Gold!
That chest back in the days was used as a fridge filled with salt to conserve meats
@14:40 .. and that's why they excavate in sections, shoring the wall with concrete piers before moving to another section.
Hi maya you need base for the wall support Cement and iron for stabilization for the Wall
Hey Maya!!! Glad to see you and so glad that you have help again! Please tell me that you are keeping the pizza oven? It seems to be in good shape. It’s kinda tough to see/imagine the layout of the house…
Hey there happy for an update, let me put the kettle on!
Wow Maya that was hard work . I strongly believe you're gonna enjoy this bathroom so much when its done😂
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.
Wow I’m so impressed by your channel and your hard work. Just wow! I’m a new subscriber,can’t wait to follow your journey. Let’s goooo! (I love your little victory dance ritual)
Welcome to my channel! 🥰
You have to be a really great person for someone to come play Mine 3D Xtreme with you for days and days!
Plant them low - they won't grow. Plant them high - they won't die. The roots must be able to get oxygen for the plant to survive.
A KEEPER!!!
Frohe Ostern Maya. Wow, that looked like such hard work. Are you going so deep for pipe work and damp proofing? Do you have enough solar/battery for under-floor heating? X
Digging the floor down deeper like that has destabilized the foundation walls .
Hi Maya I just love watching your videos the renovation, planting and etc. by the way I also love your place😊
Will you use the stone for the floor or shower? It would look soooo authentic and cool
Happy Easter Maya ! Thank you Dave for helping her ! 💕🌷🙏🇳🇱🌈
Dave must really, really, really like/love you. That was incredibly hard work.
Once you get going Maya you are unstoppable. You have an amazing drive.
Big effort, wow! Always enjoy watching your vids. :) I'm excited for your next project. Big ups to Dave as well :D
Well done to you and Dave in removing dirt and huge flat stones at a relentless pace 🥵🥵 The physicality of this job can’t really be truly understood by just watching …but I’m very sure both you and Dave understood it
TOTALLY !!!! And then you carried on with your next amazing helpers …. until FINALLY it was finished … huge respect for you Maya 👏👏👏👏
Durban SA 🇿🇦
Dave is a God send! X
So much progress! I'm glad you were able to stabilize the wall, but you will need a new stone or concrete threshold there for long term stability. Happy Easter!
how exciting Maya keep up the great work!
You have so much moving water and you have a water wheel already. Surprised you didn't put a small system in to make electricity with it. It would supply most if not all of your needs. Your doing great your making so much progress
Iam sitting here in nothern germany, eating my chocolate easter bunny, watching you deep digging :D
ah, wanted to see more. well done. that place really has great potential. a lot of character.
Thanks for posting and sharing Maya. Great work getting all the slate out and lowering the stone and earth below.
If you pick a handful of the eucalypt flowers and drop them in the billy with a handful of tea, you can make quite a refreshing drink.
Great project and great video!
Consider using self-leveling concrete for the new floor,
You and the guys ROCK!!! LOL ohhh that may be a bad word about now, rock I mean lol like tons of them.😉😃 Great work. I feel guilty just sitting here watching. LOL I send you all strength, peace and love!!
Just found your channel. You are an extremely hard worker. You have so much work ahead of you but one day you will be done and it will all be worth the sore body and achy bones. You seem to have a lot of friends to help and that is amazing. Keep the great videos coming, I enjoy watching building projects like this.
Hi! I love also how you cheer every single time,when you finish some task 😊 Juhuuu!! I love your content!!
I'm so scared about that moving wall.
Please get us a Drone footage of the village and your house
Everytime maya does her little “woohoo!” I swear I get a year added to my life 😁😂
Nice to have you back! Dave is a great help
Maya, I have binged on your videos and caught up! You are truly amazing. I will miss watching one video after another. However I am subscribed and look forward to many more. Have you considered more than one a week. Stay safe and keep up the amazing job!!
Very happy to see u happy.🎉

Im thinking about you Maya being able to find a treasure somewhere hahaha
I love watching this now❤❤ building and turning beautiful placed
Happy Easter Maya! Love your enthusiasm! Keep up the hard work!
Welcome back Maya..I missed you!!
Amazing
Lots hard work, well done Maya and Dave.💚
Beautiful floor stones! Great teamwork! 🫶😊👍🌟
Another great project on the way can't wait to see the transformation x
Hard at work more power to you
That beautiful cellar with a view would be a bedroom with me....
Good job!🎉
Such an impressive channel Maya. Your videos are relaxing to watch and I enjoy them all.
Feliz Páscoa!
😮 wow.. that was such an under taking! In the beginning with your friend how many times did you just think... ahh the old bath may not be that bad 😅
Happy Easter!🙏
Boas pedras para fazer um caminho de passagem
What a great episode of hard work by you both. Hope to see more soon ❤❤❤
Hi Maya ,I love watching all of your videos.
welcome back, i've missed your updates. can't wait to see how your bathroom turns out.
I feel so accomplished watching you guys work and getting so much done.
..I love the jolly music you play...
Beautiful soil.Glad you had help. That was some heavy duty workoutt!
A knee wall or underpinning of the walls should occur soon especially for any wall where the outside is below grade. Frost heave or moisture from rain can move the wall. A knee wall is easiest but will use up space in the room and will be visible.
Love watching your videos... Keep the good work. You will have a beautiful place in the future, for sure!
I only discovered & subscribed to your page this afternoon about half an hour before you did this video & in the time it took me to watch it over 250 extra people had liked it so you must be doing something right, also best of luck from Australia.
big up Dave
Arbeit mit der Spitzhacke: Lass Physik für dich arbeiten! Anheben mit breiten Händen und zuhauen mit geschlossen Händen (am Griffende). Ist wesentlich weniger anstrengend. Am Anfang vielleicht etwas ungewohnt, aber deine Knochen werden es dir danken. Und nein, ich möchte nicht tauschen 😉 Big respect!!!
It was very beautiful
You work so hard ❤ It is going to be beautiful when it is finished! Good job!!💪🔥🌸
Well, you certainly aren’t put off by hard work. Can’t wait to see the lovely end product.
