hi Maya, I believe the whte wall there functioning as the giant strut to devide and retaining the steepy land especially in wet/rainy season where the surface water run-off will be so high. if you wil remove it please consult with the oca civil engineer
Maya my experience is to tell you dont plant near the walls... Especially those Yucas,,, thay will grow to mutch and damage your walls. Take good care!
Maya: You have a great independent spirit and wonderful nature filled place in Portugal---I look forward to the next posting!! Your fun nature and smile is a big part of why I watch....plus you have a GREAT eye for renovation....the place is becoming so beautiful! 😄
Hi Maya. I admire the hard work you are putting into the property. I love to see a young woman who is fearless and hard working! It is already starting to payoff. It’s gorgeous! Plus your living off-grid! Impressive! To those wanting to know how much, say “mind your own business”. You don’t have to be a genius to figure that out. Plus do your own research folks; if you are serious about moving. 😊
Your land is developing into something beautiful, the sound of the stream is so tranquil. Everything you have done has enhanced your land. I'm looking forward to your cabin renovation. Hopefully you will pick up lots of tips, ideas from your job in Switzerland 💚
Thanks for the updates of your plans. Plant what you like, where you like. Use cardboard, it's free, unlike plastic. And don't be distracted by comments from anybody. You ROCK! Do whatever you want 😅🌏
That wall looks to be a buttress holding back a big portion of that hill I would not suggest you remove it otherwise you may have a landslide which could destabilize the building above it. I could be wrong but that is what it looks like to me.
Maya I'm in ore at what you have achieved so far...I'm new to subscripting to your utube and only found you today..Iv watched them all to here 😊 can't wait to watch some more..what a lovely peaceful place you have found for yourself in Portugal
I’m so glad you promised to let us know what goes on in the winter. I was very curious about the rest of your life. Thank you for another great video. I think you do such a wonderful job of getting all that work done and filming.
Hi Maya, I must say that I am pretty handy woman myself and I renovated 3 houses so far, but I'm very impressed by all the renovation projects you are doing! Keep up the good work and the smiles! You will make yourself a beautiful homestead to be proud of. (And also nice to hear you sprak several languages.) Bye!!
Paulo saying Thank you for the video,Maya Paulo Have a good idea,He saying the rain is good so the river can have water ,,,Wy not putting some rocks on the river to create a Pond or Dam ,
You know you can eat those they are called purslane 17:13 on video very rich in omega antioxidants very healthy the whole plant is edible stems are best eaten raw very healthy add to soup's stew or salad 🥗 enjoy your very hard working God Bless 🙏
Maya you go girl. Inspiring me thanx cheers. I am headed to Portugal to look for a small farm from USA in December. Enjoy your summer there. And thanx for all the great inspiration. Gina
Vines get wild after some years without taking care of thems those cement poles should do for thems maybe why they are there, mimosas are very difficult to control but since you are there you can cut thems when they return about the internet depend of the zone you are Nos in my case is better because the antena is near the wall happear to be a staircases, ram pumps will help you you can contain the water but the water have to flow
Maya, you are planting too close to the wall. Plant a foot away from any structure. Plants need to spread their roots & they will eventually damage the structure.
Plant roots grow down and then spread. If the roots encounter an object like a wall or a rock they just grow around it. Plants are amazingly adaptable.
Some questions can be so silly as who knows what the future brings in terms of weather, space and what you can renovate by yourself without asking for help. It is life Maya, none of us know.
Would your family be able to help maintain the land when you are not there? Or maybe house sitters or workaways could... All your hard work will be lost in 6 months of growth.
That kills the soil eventually suffocating depriving it of nutrient and moisture deep mulch is the better way your method is for non gardeners I have worked in 2 plant nurseries and had large gardens for 40 years your way was popular in the 1970’s
Maya, you need a Dutch hoe for weeding. Just put the blade under the surface and cut the young weeds down, especially during dry spells. Which in Portugal must be most of the time.😊 And also well done!
Hello Maya,when will you show us a new video?let s see your painting on the river! I m from Athens, I have one too house near the sea. Greetings, kisses!!!
Why don't you send some money on a Gardener so when you come back they can cut and clean and clear the land or have some one you trust live there to care for the property and take care of it and clear the land make a space your some one to help you by clearing the land and helping with your crops! So when you come back you can start with your building projects! This will free up your time and will be worth it in the long run and you won't get so tired also you can work out a work schedule for them ! Many hands make light work!
please don't damn up the river as this can have a damaging effect on the entire ecosystem; or at least pls research it throroghly and get some environmental advice before doing anything like that? Nature knows best, most of the time :)
Sad that you won’t say the cost, would help others to know more about what to expect if they want to move to Portugal. Curious why it has to be a secret…. In most Scandinavian countries it’s public record what a house has been sold for. Just 2 other questions: 1) how is it possible to work only for a winter as an architect, is it not a permanent position? 2) How did you save the money to buy the property? Would be nice to learn the economics behind such an expensive purchase. Did your parents help? Or 100% own saving from jobs while studying? Studying architecture must also be very expensive. Thanks
I had wondered if she might be squatting. I’m not sure what squatters rights are in Portugal but since she is starting her first job out of university it seems odd that she’d have a loan from a bank. Another idea is family money…
I also think family money, I actually don’t care.I really like the videos❤, I just want to know because I don’t like that people don’t tell if somebody else is paying. It makes young people feel bad that they cannot do the same, it makes people have unrealistic expectations to their life. Makes people feel bad about them self and I’m sure she doesn’t want that😊
you do q&a and you don't answer the most important question about the cost of this land. This is ridiculous. You have a nice place there and it will be nice to see your progress in restoring this area. A little more honesty and you'll be ok. Regards
In Scandinavia it’s not at all rude to ask what a house/property has cost. Usually it’s public information. Can really not se why it should be a secret🤔 I would really also like to know, also how I, as a young person can be able to afford to do the same…. How is it possible to take an expensive degree AND put money aside for savings? Why not just tell is she inherited the money or the parents made a savings account when she grew up.
@@dr.crimper1733you should mind your own business and think about YOUR money and YOUR expenses of degree and NOT about someone's else! Her finances are NOT public infos!!!
I think it's perfectly okay want to not share the price of your property-it is your vlog and at least for me it seems that we all learn and experience the sharing of a vlog as they go along-I think some magic and space is good you don't need to know everything about everything if a person wants to know the price of the property perhaps when they get their own property then they can choose to share the price..🦆🦆🪿

you know if youd restore the old water system to the waterwheel you could produce electricity quite easily with that!
Thort tht the other day
That wall looks to be a buttress holding back a big portion of that hill I would not suggest you remove it otherwise you may have a landslide which could destabilize the building above it. I could be wrong but that is what it looks like to me.
You need the wall to hold the dirt in so it doesn’t erode and your house doesn’t slide
Maya I'm in ore at what you have achieved so far...I'm new to subscripting to your utube and only found you today..Iv watched them all to here 😊 can't wait to watch some more..what a lovely peaceful place you have found for yourself in Portugal
Hey there. Thank you for taking us along on your land transformation journey. It's lovely getting to see all the transformations. Very exciting.
I’m so glad you promised to let us know what goes on in the winter. I was very curious about the rest of your life. Thank you for another great video. I think you do such a wonderful job of getting all that work done and filming.
You are adorable! I love the way you solve things as you go and the generosity shared between you and your neighbours. Good luck with everything ❤

Wow that's amazing! Congrats on your renovated houses!
Hello from Flower Mound Texas. Thanks for sharing part of your life. Your land river & houses are perfect . Hope to see you soon
thanks for sharing; love 5 rhythms too
Respected and Dear Maya
Your smill is very natural and reflection of clean heart . Sweet smile.
Hello Maya .obrigado pelo video …..a chuva faz falta,para o rio ter mais água.podias colocar umas rochas para fazer uma lagoa☺️
Paulo saying Thank you for the video,Maya Paulo Have a good idea,He saying the rain is good so the river can have water ,,,Wy not putting some rocks on the river to create a Pond or Dam ,

can you convert the old water mill to hydro elecrtric?
Giday from Australia, love your work, ❤ if you want the wall to disappear into the landscape paint it a dark grey.
Maya you go girl. Inspiring me thanx cheers. I am headed to Portugal to look for a small farm from USA in December. Enjoy your summer there. And thanx for all the great inspiration. Gina
Es ist wirklich schön bei Dir, wir sind gerade unterwegs nach Portugal. Hab eine gute Zeit. Grüße Manu
She has a wild and energetic spirit❤💯, do you also visit portugal manuela? It sure looks like one beautiful country👌
Thanks a lot Maya 👍🙏😘

Maya, you are planting too close to the wall. Plant a foot away from any structure. Plants need to spread their roots & they will eventually damage the structure.
Agree! Also the heat reflected from the wall may be too much.
Plant roots grow down and then spread. If the roots encounter an object like a wall or a rock they just grow around it. Plants are amazingly adaptable.
👍🙂 good on you. My estimated property price cost is between 100-350k euros.
I will miss your Portuguese home too. 😢
Some questions can be so silly as who knows what the future brings in terms of weather, space and what you can renovate by yourself without asking for help. It is life Maya, none of us know.
Hi Maya, I am planning a property with a small cabin in it. How do I do the solar panels for my electricity
Nice job on the cardboard. P S - weeds still find a way to get through but it helps. Ask me how I know!
Best using weed barrier rather than cardboard... The cardboard will decompose relatively quickly.
❤🇬🇧👍🏻
Thanks for sharing
wouldn't it b a better idea to make the dam after a drought when the water level is lower? just a thought 🙂
Love your channel
The worms love cardboard 😁💕
Would your family be able to help maintain the land when you are not there? Or maybe house sitters or workaways could... All your hard work will be lost in 6 months of growth.
So far, mostly cosmetic work. When will the restoration begin?
It costs money huh
Love your music,love some names of female singers
Lay black plastic on the ground and sprinkle pebbles on it
That kills the soil eventually suffocating depriving it of nutrient and moisture deep mulch is the better way your method is for non gardeners I have worked in 2 plant nurseries and had large gardens for 40 years your way was popular in the 1970’s
Maya, in your posts you mention, 'WE'. Do you have someone there with you? Out of shot.😊
how much did you pay for the lot?
Thank you for your content! Very interesting and inspiring in order to escape from the rat race :)
Maya, you need a Dutch hoe for weeding. Just put the blade under the surface and cut the young weeds down, especially during dry spells. Which in Portugal must be most of the time.😊 And also well done!

It's her right to choose what to share.
As a European I can tell you that asking for that info is considered very rude. Other people’s finances are quite simply nobody else’s business.
