Starting a New Build! Hardest Workout Yet 

Thanks for all your lovely comments! And I'm keeping the wooden box, I love it. Fake accounts are being created, please don't ever answer to anybody or click on anything, my account name is always @mayafeliz and I don't have a telegram canal! Stay safe 🤗

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.

Nice to have you back! Dave is a great help.

Wow you guys had to go even deeper! That was hard work, but really enjoyed it 😊. Thanks for all the lovely comments guys x

Very clever to push the wall back like that. Everyone needs a Dave.

you can treat woodworm and keep the box for linen or towells

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)

The stones from the floor could make a nice patio some where,you remind me of myself when I was younger just do it

Dave looks like a keeper ...

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.

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.

On Sunday morning your video is the one!! Your joyfulness lifts the spirit!!

Love watching all your little dances throughout all of this. Very talented. lol

Sunday morning, tea with Maya. lets Gooooo

What a job again ! You and Dave seem to work very well together.

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.

Wow, you have hard working friends. Hope that wasn't a vacation week for him.

Top work Maya and Dave! Thanks for the dance break too, love to you all x

Wow, the soil looks INCREDIBLE! You struck Gold!

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 🇧🇷 😅🎉❤

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 😃👌🌈🤟

Que bom, já está a começar a rotina dos vídeos do domingo, sem dúvida os meus preferidos ❤🇵🇹

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

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🤸🏻‍♀️❤.

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)

support always the floor or building above with a jack

Wow Maya that was hard work . I strongly believe you're gonna enjoy this bathroom so much when its done😂

Maya Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog ve video için kolay gelsin hayirli işler bol bereketli kazançların olsun 👍👍👍👍

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.

@14:40 .. and that's why they excavate in sections, shoring the wall with concrete piers before moving to another section.

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…

Happy Easter Maya ! Thank you Dave for helping her ! 💕🌷🙏🇳🇱🌈

Hi Maya ,I love watching all of your videos.

Digging the floor down deeper like that has destabilized the foundation walls .

A KEEPER!!!

Do the walls have enough support? it might be useful to make a small wall of concrete to support the bottom of the walls.

Big effort, wow! Always enjoy watching your vids. :) I'm excited for your next project. Big ups to Dave as well :D

Hi Maya I just love watching your videos the renovation, planting and etc. by the way I also love your place😊

Once you get going Maya you are unstoppable. You have an amazing drive.

Hey there happy for an update, let me put the kettle on!

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.

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!!

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!

Dave must really, really, really like/love you. That was incredibly hard work.

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 🇿🇦

You have to be a really great person for someone to come play Mine 3D Xtreme with you for days and days!

Dave is such a hard worker!! Lets thank him by dropping a rock on his hands!!

how exciting Maya keep up the great work!

That chest back in the days was used as a fridge filled with salt to conserve meats

It was very beautiful

Thanks for posting and sharing Maya. Great work getting all the slate out and lowering the stone and earth below.

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

Hi! I love also how you cheer every single time,when you finish some task 😊 Juhuuu!! I love your content!!

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!!

I love watching this now❤❤ building and turning beautiful placed

Such an impressive channel Maya. Your videos are relaxing to watch and I enjoy them all.

ah, wanted to see more. well done. that place really has great potential. a lot of character.

Very happy to see u happy.🎉

love your hard work ... keep in touch - from austria

Great project and great video! Consider using self-leveling concrete for the new floor,

I feel so accomplished watching you guys work and getting so much done.

Happy Easter!🙏

I have been watching your videos from the start and look forward to them every week. You are an amazing young woman following her dreams…

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.

😮 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 😅

Another great project on the way can't wait to see the transformation x

Beautiful soil.Glad you had help. That was some heavy duty workoutt!

Amazing

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

Hard at work more power to you

Will you use the stone for the floor or shower? It would look soooo authentic and cool

Get us more episodes soon... Waiting

What a great episode of hard work by you both. Hope to see more soon ❤❤❤

Well, you certainly aren’t put off by hard work. Can’t wait to see the lovely end product.

Great start to a new room for a washroom, indoor shower. Looked like lots of back breaking work! But you got-r done yay!!! You gained lots of head room also and all those flag stones will look great if you utilize them for a walking path. Have an awesome day and week Mya Happy Easter 😊

Moving rocks out of the house! All the jobs at one time!

Geez... Even in elapsed time that's a TON of work... How many people did it take to BUILD THAT?!?!?!

Now you have headroom in the basement. Good work, you and Dave!

Boas pedras para fazer um caminho de passagem

What a hard work!!! You're really a tough girl!!!! This effort is though woth it!!!!

Congratulations on the hard work. Maybe I have missed something, but just explaining what you plan to do with the different buildings and how you will approach it would be nice to follow. With images of the design of the buildings, your supervisors could provide ideas so that it is more than just looking at what you do. I'll give an example: the floor that you just tore out because you rightly wanted to lower it, what will be the floor there later? The floor was so beautiful that perhaps re-laying it a lot lower would be different from a normal tile floor. I look forward to your follow-up.

welcome back, i've missed your updates. can't wait to see how your bathroom turns out.

Welcome back Maya..I missed you!!

Dave is a God send! X

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 😁😂

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.

That beautiful cellar with a view would be a bedroom with me....

Omg you looked like you were digging to Australia. That’s going to take a lot of concrete to refill that. Glad we got the little dance. Well done to all involved ❤❤❤

..I love the jolly music you play...

Bonjour Maya C’est super ce que tu fait beaucoup de courage félicitations À bientôt 😊

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.

I would use the flag stone for a outside patio with a purala and have figs run to cover it! Or some vine roses on each post to cover it...😊

I’m aching just watching you. Yikes! So much work!

Iam sitting here in nothern germany, eating my chocolate easter bunny, watching you deep digging :D

Brilliant work as usual, Maya!😊 I was getting withdrawal symptoms, but this has fixed it!😅

I just watched another channel where he excavated the floor of a two-story stone house - he poured a concrete retaining support wall inside before excavating to support the structure.

Morning Maya. Have you thought about going further down on the old floor and fitting underfloor heating? It would really help the whole building warm up over time.

Love watching your videos... Keep the good work. You will have a beautiful place in the future, for sure!

Wow, that’s a lot of hard work. Great job👏🏻. Make sure you get tested for rayon. You can also put a rayon sheet down before you put the floor in. Better safe than sorry. 😊
