My Life has Changed! Moving into the Stone House

Finally moving into the stone house after 7 months of work! Installing the coziest off-grid heating, a used good old german quality woodburner.

[@bethintexas9678]

Beautiful! I love your new woodstove, but you should make sure to get a carbon monoxide alarm to help keep you safe.

[@valerieavery5356]

Hi Maya, this looks amazing!please be fire safe: install a fire alarm high on the wall and a carbon monoxide alarm low on the wall. A fire extinguisher for wood burning fires isn't that expensive and can save you so much money if you need to use it!

[@berritandersen288]

Hi Maya! Please by a Co worning device. It is very cheap and small. There is a chance to be intoxicated by CO. Especially if the oven is installed by people without special knollege. (No offence!) It is very easy to prevent the silent death of CO intoxication. Greetings from Norway. ❤

[@kellyh8347]

Yes please!!! OMG that was my very first thought!! Brand new subscriber here! You are fantastic-so much energy and happiness! I’m so glad for you!

[@bluemountain975]

Absolutely. I have 4 carbon monoxide detectors in the house. Also make sure you don’t overheat the stove to prevent a chimney fire. I’m glad you look happy.

[@rolandtb3]

A warm, private room with a view. The heater will help to dry out the room even further. Crack a window during the day to allow fresh air in. As the room is now better insulated and less drafty, have a carbon mon/dioxide monitor handy to verify there is sufficient replacement room air for complete combustion. The stone walls and tiles will help to radiate some heat. This room has some focal points: heater, windows, balcony. Great that your family drove it from Germany to your place. The wooden cabin is a visitor's retreat. Or a spare utility cabin. Continue to remove the vines and brambles to reveal the wonderful retaining walls. Some structural fill-in work may be required.

[@marcosfigueiredo8515]

I'm not missing any videos at this stage. Every day the house gets better and now you have a way to stay warm.😁👍

[@chinesischesser]

Let me give you a great advice about cleaning the oven windows, that I got from my chimney cleaner. After you have burned some wood use a wet paper towel and dip it into the ashes. Use that to clean the windows. It gets alkaline and works as a peeling. It's almost free and has great results

[@antoniocarvalho6160]

I'M HAPPY WITH THE PROGRESS, MAYA DESERVES IT. KEEP WITH THAT CONTAGIOUS SMILE

[@sharongaines3043]

You are such a force of a woman and I admire your determination and passion. It is a good day to celebrate that your in your home. Next step I gather is 1 or 2 more rooms for you. You really should and do deserve them. Xxx 💕

[@SueLegg-lh6fj]

Congratulations Maya on your well earned reward of comfort and beauty. Happy dancing with you in my heart. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbarasunday3514]

The cabin served you well but the stone house will be more safe and warm. Congratulations!

[@mayafeliz]

So true, thank you!!

[@fozzyami]

Hi Maya, if you want that vine to grow around the post, you need to get rid of ALL the ivy that's growing around it. It will take over everything if you leave it to its own devices.

[@sandraconner6968]

And just a little chicken wire around the post will help the vine wrap around!

[@user-lc1ki5fu3p]

Congratulations on your move in to the house

[@johnwainwright1553]

Congratulations Maya. Your home becomes more beautiful every day.

[@SwimCoach8]

What a wonderful job. You should be very proud! The wood stove is beautiful. We heat with a pellet stove insert in our fire place. I'm usually awake at 4:00 in the morning, a nagging remnant of 40 years working in a factory. Today the house was a little chilly so I increased the pellet feed a bit and was admiring the beautiful flames. I log onto the computer and there is your wood stove! Is there anything better than sitting by a fire? Thanks for all the time your putting into this content. Stay safe and stay warm!

[@spmbuiltin]

You are an amazing young lady with an incredible work ethic and I love watching all the progress you are making!!!!

[@rgeaster5696]

The wood stove I bought for my 1500 SF house in the us was 500 lbs or 227 kgs. It is made of cast iron and soapstone, The soapstone is green in color. I put a inline flue cooler to use the heat going up the exit pipe to also heat the house. I had 3 acres of which 1 1/2 was in woods which I used as a wood lot for fire wood and nut harvest.

[@aglo8252]

Just beautiful.Maya, I love the way you dance around when you've finished a project happily 😊..enjoy your lovely nest..

[@rosamariarosa5887]

❤

[@federicaalbarello6197]

If I think how much work you had to do only for one room ! Congratulation for your patience and enthusiasm !

[@lutzherbst6885]

Ich find es schön wenn du tanzt. Das gibt einem das Gefühl das doch alles in Ordnung ist. Hachja...😌😁

[@nanoresmith2697]

Love your wood stove 🔥 Maya Your location is stunning! 💛

[@juhajuntunen7866]

Small add on for camin usfan. There is fans which has scheebeck element and it generate electricity when owen is hot. It distribute warm air sideways and not only upwards like owen only. Cost some 30 to 50 euros. (For flat top or pipe versions are available).

[@roo9565]

Yes Maya!! So exciting! Must be wonderful sleeping in your warm, cosy home

[@sabineblume5341]

Liebe Maya, lst der Ofen Raumluft unabhängig. Wenn nicht brauchst du einen Kohlenmonoxid Melder. Toller Ofen ❤

[@sheilajoseph9953]

So pleased for you Maya. The wood burner is beautiful. 💚

[@ianworley8169]

The beauty of Portugal is the seasons. The cold nights in Winter, the wet days. With a warm cosy house and the right clothes. I love the cycle of the year. In July now, I miss my log burners already. By the end of August, I'll have had enough of the intensity of Summer and long for cooler days, heavy rains and cold nights. By the end of March, I will look forward to the coming months of wearing nothing but shorts and t-shirts and those warmer winds. The best product I've found for cleaning glass on a log burner is a hand spray sold at LeClerc. One will last a year. I've tried so many others and nothing comes close. A quick spray and a wipe with paper towel and it sparkles again. Another must, buy an overhead Victorian clothes rack. Perfect for drying wet clothes over the log burner in Winter and herbs in Summer.

[@albert2395]

Maya, you should train the brambles against the wall, and have blackberries in the late summer!😊

[@robertwilkes2105]

Well done. Great progress. I enjoy watching your positive videos.

[@mariliaamaral4921]

Bom dia Maya l am so happy for you , looks very cosy you deserve. Your place is beautiful this river is breathtaking. See you soon 😊

[@davidfellowes1628]

Magic Maya, the best part is that this was your project and I guess your brothers didn't buy into it initially. But look today, they can't wait to jump into the car and head south. The old hut will be busy come spring, no doubt.So exciting, such determination.

[@shireensyedothman6433]

Congratulations Maya on achieving another important milestone. So happy for you ❤😘

[@RB-wl7ct]

No reason to doubt you will achieve your goals. Thank you for sharing. Heres to future adventures.

[@DawnWorsley]

I. Love your lovely home congratulations maya keep😊❤😊

[@filipar949]

Yes 🎉 you go girl 💪🏼

[@americancockerspanielchannel]

Wow, Maya! Congratulations on your new woodstove, you are now completely off grid but self-sufficient 🎉🎉🎉the stone blocks for your table should go to surround the woodstove to accumulate heat when you burn wood and then will give you back heat during the night

[@michaelmcginn7260]

Absolutely,

[@cristinalaporte9391]

So cool Maya😊❤ I'm so happy for you.

[@TheOlguna]

Congats, you are a very hard working person and you deserved this.

I've watched since your first video til now. You've come so far. it's been amazing to be on this journey with you.

[@apiresl]

Congrats Maya it is so good to see the progress you're making on your land and now with the stone house you can be a little more comfortable.🎉

[@user-if9wy6lx1z]

Fabulous, you have done such a great job on your stone house…enjoy Maya…..

[@Biancareijnders]

I am so impressed! Being alone most of the time and in the cold it must definitely be hard. But you always stay so happy and positive :D The stone house turned out beautiful!

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Really nice that you can see the fire in the fireplaces from 3 sides. Best wishes to you, your family, and other contributors.

[@camillewinnie27]

Nice job, Maya, the house looks great! What an accomplishment. Very inspiring!

[@ianlovi1]

Very Happy for you Maya!! You’re dancing around in your dress like a 10 year old girl on Christmas Morning! To feel that kind of peace these day’s in such stressful environments!❤️…. What are your plans for the other dwellings beside your newly renovated cottage?

[@genespell4340]

If you dry out that extremely long piece of bark, you will have some of the best fire starter ever. A lot of the brambles can be chopped up for fore starter.

[@matanjaburger2872]

❤❤ good morning Maya your litle house looks Amazing iam so happy for you that its cosie and warm now enjoy it girl you worked so hard

[@HanginOutWithStan]

Maya I love your new home and very beautiful fireplace. I am very happy for you - and a wee bit jealous. I love all your land and river and houses.

[@andriesmaritz2055]

Congratulations AGAIN Maya, you are sooooo hard working and I am glad to see the progress and how you are also enjoying your home and that fire place !! Special regards from New Zealand again. (Dr Andries Maritz)

[@joannhernesmaa4904]

It's cold everywhere on this planet. I see a warm future for you. 😂

[@Neverforget133]

Well done maya looks very nice 👍

[@chevman6080]

a lot of respect and i wish you the best

[@joannhernesmaa4904]

If you get heat in the rooms, I would like to rent a place for a month.

[@rongray4118]

Ashes and paper... you know your stuff!!

[@pollyb.4648]

It really looks great!🎉

[@karenolson5556]

Maya ..when you stay paint...do long short sprays and stand back about 4 feet...ten you won't get drips.

[@maryshatbands]

How exciting!!! 🎉

[@marijasoln]

Congrats❤🎉

[@johnthomson1579]

Treat brambles with systemic weedkiller or they will return. You probably know that ash and paper is good for cleaning fire window. Room looks great. I don’t know the cost but glass railing on verandah would keep a good view, inside and outside the house.

[@irismollet3771]

Hi Maya, Gratuliere with moving in your beautifull house! Viel Glück!

[@bethhansen5122]

Woohoo! Happy move in day🎉

[@mayafeliz]

Thanks yay!

[@AB-C1]

Fantastic job Maya! Remove the Ivy from Anywhere you want something else to grow as it takes over and strangles other plants/vines. The new Log Burner is one of the nicest I've seen, having 4 windows to see the fire on all sides is a REALLY nice touch.. Well done! 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@kellyh8347]

NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!! Fantastic job! I am going to start binging to see how you got the property, how much land and if all of the buildings are habitable, etc! There are tiny fans that you can put on top of the fireplace to spread out the warmth. CO2 detectors is a must-First thing please!

[@blancaferreiramontes5114]

Bon travaille MAYA félicitations 🥂 👍🏻

[@shellyfoster1995]

It was wonderful to see your smiling face today. I love watching your videos and seeing all the renovations you are doing to your home. Love you Maya.

[@alziraseveriano6024]

Maya também fiquei preocupada com o acabamento da salamandra 😊no buraco do teto e atrás da salamandra tem que isolar com lã de Rocha como ficou está muito perigoso..Na loja que vende material de construção tem esse material e para remate do teto compra um anel para fazer o acabamento final.Eu tenho salamandra e fogão a lanha e foi assim que o técnico fez .cuidado com o fogo.Felicidades.

[@gracemeneses9910]

You’re amazing 🤩 I wish you the very, very best. If only I had been as brave as you when I was your age. Love watching your videos. A big hug from Sunny Florida 😊

[@mistyfarm1702]

Hi maya, jus5 gonna say I've watched you from the beginning, wow what an amazing turnaround you have managed. It incredible feat. I cannot wait to see how you renovate the entire property.

[@adrianpiek941]

Maya, good job. However, the wood stove retailer should have told you that the first fire on a new woodstove should be outside to burn off the residual oils put on at the factory. Again, good job and the best off luck.

[@mariamaia9672]

Olá Maya. Não sei como vim cá parar. Vi o vídeo e faço um aviso. Não consigo perceber bem qual é o material usado nas placas brancas do teto falso. Falo do material onde foi feito um buraco redondo para passar o tubo da chaminé. Pareceu-me ser esferovite. MUITO CUIDADO!!!!! Se for esferovite irá derreter com o calor do tubo. O esferovite derrete e é altamente inflamável.! Perigo de incêndio!! Muitas casas têm sofrido incêndios que começam precisamente junto ao tubo da chaminé, na proximidade do esferovite... Se o material branco não for esferovite nem material combustível, então não deve haver perigo. Felicidades...

[@mariamaia9672]

Maya, você leu o meu aviso?
