Maya, in your parking area you may need to add rocks pebbles for rainy days --- so car doesn't sink in the mud !!👋

[@marilouw207]

A great completion to a HUGE project. Well done Maya. You are an inspiration.

[@fernandarosa4996]

Thank you South African Excavator guy, for showing how good hearted and hard working we are. Well done Maya you've certainly come a long way and worked very hard. Welcome to the Construction game😂

[@havvashenol6777]

sundays are not sundays without a Maya video congratulations for the completion of the septic installation love watching you

[@daniels506]

Maya, du kannst die Steine nehmen um eine Natursteinmauer zu bauen um die steilen Hänge zu stabilisieren. ;) Falls es heftige Regenfälle geben sollte kannst du Erdrutsche damit verhindern. oder du baust dir daraus kleine Umrandungen für deine Gemüsebeete.

[@lfuentes4098]

Yes,I agree. It will be a more useful space to level out the terraces or create new ones. It will help stabilize the land but also help with the water runoff. This way the gardens will thrive since the water will stay instead of running nutrients down the hill to the river.

[@lilyofthevalleynaturechannel]

So many wonderful friends and how wonderful you have a stream to enjoy a much needed cooldown from the heat.

[@angelagardener1234]

Not sure how the last residential people lived there over a period of time. You have renovated and transformed this wonderful place and land into a beautiful woven tapestry of art. Yay!! 🎉my stepdad would have been there with you if he had been able to due to empowering women to work in the construction field over 80 years experience plus an Architect too for many prestigious businesses and families. Maya congratulations!! and yes many thanks to all who helped out too🎉🎉🎉 😊 so happy for you. It proves with hard work and consistency anything can be done.

[@sarahjanewheatley5472]

That is such a great achievement and will be so worth the effort when you get to flush the toilet for the first time. Well done!

[@DAHBHONG022]

Coz youre so busy, you hardly noticed that your day has passed. Nice. Congratulations..

[@najmakhanum8928]

Well I didn't expect all the difficult work done by a girl but you amazed me by your determination.well done

[@sharonbennett9953]

a suggestion that you gravel the driveway as it will be really muddy in the winter time

[@fionagardiner9095]

What a champion! Well done to you and all your helpers. It broke my heart to see you in tears the other week but you have battled through. Well done, Maya. I'm lost in admiration of your achievements. 🎉🎉❤❤

[@paulkinzer7661]

I've loved watching this project (not just the septic system, but your entire series of chosen adventures)! The thought, hard work, shared work with people from so many places coming to take part. I get such a sense of community from your videos, and that includes the people from all over the world who share generous, kind comments, too.

[@mickeybailey1108]

I am glad you have been able to find workers for your project. I have a couple of friends who have had difficulty in Portugal finding good workers that show up. It is simply another factor that adds to the complexity of getting a job like this completed. I am so happy for you to be motivated to get what you want from life. It is great to see you dancing around your little slice of paradise.

[@frenchfan1278]

Bravo Maya. What an achievement. That plumbing is so labour intensive, but you did it! Bravo.

[@judyfudge2458]

You are so determined and such a hard worker , I wish you all the best !

[@Hog-g2z]

Good Day, looking 👀 very good, From France

[@petro3441]

After this project you all deserve a holiday❤❤❤

[@ianwelburn7514]

Plant lemon thyme there - it releases a lemon smell as you brush it and keeps flies away with really shallow roots.

[@juliehurley9795]

Your hard work always amazes me. You are one very strong, determined and motivated woman. wooohooo

[@joannecanetti7481]

What a tremendous accomplishment Maya. You are a very hard working young lady. I admire your perseverance and strength in all you do. 😊

You are doing a great job there. You will have a very nice place once you finished rebuilding everything.

[@jen....]

What a relief to have that finished.

[@KevinOmar-q4h]

Great accomplishment

[@jennywalsh479]

You certainly do have space now and how great to have the septic system covered. I would myself prefer a septic system than other toilet options when it will be your long term home. Enjoy watching your videos.😀

[@CatalinaTorres-pj4sj]

Congratulations, Maya!🎉 You are brave, strong, sweet and happy young woman, who inspires all of us women to following our dreams.

Blessings to you 🙏😇🙏 continue being happy! love ❤always!

[@keithrowell653]

Congratulations once more. I hope you get some gentle rains to settle all this disturbed earth before a heavy rain makes erosion ditches. You can be as creative as you like with all that precious water coming out below!

[@judyprobst4571]

Congratulations 🎉 You’re making outstanding progress. You’re so capable and don’t say “no” to any challenge! You’re going to have a very special affection for this home.

[@Jovixgal]

Maya, your work ethic is so admirable. You are so hard-working, look at what you've managed to accomplish! I know sometimes it must seem like it's all never-ending but your property is so stunning and special, and the beautiful thing is, I think you know it and appreciate it too. Thank you for sharing your journey with this absolute slice of paradise with us.

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

Maya you work so hard you must be well fit. The fixes have made a big difference and will make the land more manageable for you. Well done on what you have achieved so far and thanks for the dance 😊😊

[@donaldauguston9740]

Hi Maya: You could dig a 2 foot wide, two foot deep trench and fill it will all those rocks just under the pipe leading over the terrace edge. That might help avoid erosion. Also, planting something immediately to take root while the soil is still warm will help. Take care, DA

[@nickinick9329]

So happy for you Maya! Well done! Just a little tip, I've notice at 2:45 that you pulled with your back. If you want to prevent back injuries and many problems! Try to push with your legs up instrad of pulling your self up with your back, you will see that you have mpre strengh that way to ! Finaly, just an idea, you know with the house you renovated there is a small place where there was a roof over the entrance balcony, instead of doing a roof, you could do a pergola! That would be really nice with lights and plants on top! Hope you have a wonderful day, you like my idea and my tips and canzt wait to see what's in the next video !

[@sirpat22]

Maya please when you lift bend your knees not your back wether logs rocks or socks...save yourself issues later on...luv your videos

[@mariocervantes8764]

Hi Maya , I’m so happy for you now that your septic system is working and covered , like I said in my previous comment I really admire the way you address problems with an optimist attitude and a smile 😂 again .. this world needs more people like you . Btw I’m from Honduras and I live in San Diego California, your property is looking better every day. Congratulations 🎉

[@dweamy1]

Maya, you completed a very challenging project, well done you!

[@ElliottRodgers]

[@elizabeththomas8746]

[@johickey3158]

congratz on completing that huge tasl, well done Maya

[@theodorehowe2262]

So happy to see this project completed, you have done a wonderful job ❤❤❤

[@SharmanSomerset]

Well done Maya and all your beautiful helpers! Great to see a dance break too! Big love x

[@Yuriel1981]

So, you should build an irrigation canal for the drain water. With diversions for your garden beds. You can reuse it for garden usage while directing it back into the ground water in an environmentally safe process. It is also super easy to test there so if it becomes imbalanced for what ever reason, I would build diversion block gates to direct the water straight through to protect the crops.

[@jraltwies]

It is amazing how much can be accomplished by sheer determination. Enjoy your successes and learn from your trials.

[@ananunez8374]

Dear Maya, You’re hard work pay off! Incredible finally seeing all done! ❤

Love Portugal. Such a beautiful place. 2 weeks and I’ll be there for a holiday. Just wish I was young enough and brave enough to make the permanent move. Love this ladies work ethic. It’s already a great property, but it’ll be stunning by the time she’s through..

[@Kirsten._._]

Congratulations on the project completion, Maya! 🎉

[@grendel1960a]

how about using some of that pile of rock to make an area where the water drains down from that outlet so you can have a small waterfall, then maybe a rock filled trench under that area to take the water past without flooding the surface, then build your garden on top.

[@gp7013]

Excellent work and great job! Very well done Maya and friends! I rally like your enthusiasm, positivity and energy! Greetings from Hamburg 🇩🇪

Thank you so much for doing all of the additional work to share your journey with us. Best wishes and respect, Angela

[@miriammuskal5402]

Lay a track of those rocks in a mini creek to allow for greater flow from the septic Grey water overflow… or put ANOTHER water tank there to pump out for future garden projects;)

[@jayneward6649]

Maya, you have done an amazing job on your land, to use your rocks, make small walls at the bottom on the slopes, to tidy it up & maybe put some along the edge at the top of your driveway, & flattern it out a bit more, all in all it all looks amazing ❤❤❤❤❤

[@wolfdaddy5630]

I also have been watching your hard work for a few months. You are a “schatz” to any man in love with you ❤❤❤❤ I was an American soldier in your homeland back in the 70s and grew up there in the 60s. I love your people and the best beer in the world too. Good luck with all projects.
