Hi Maya, normally I’m not the type of correcting people here, but as a structural engineer, I can’t help myself here… that way of making holes, isn’t the way - it’s not complicated I think, but please contact me or someone who is on top of this… so that we avoid cracks and the well-being of you and your mates… Kind regards from Denmark

@@mayafeliz It’s not something people should come at you for, it would be a shame if you injured yourself or if the house suffers damage after you finish it, you put so much work in it. Since you made the balcony I’ve been thinking that my neighbor skimped on the structural project when they made their house, they just bought the architect project and decided to add some windows that weren’t in the project…and their balcony fell off. I’m no expert but maybe look into two columns to support it, it’s small and not that heavy but it can cause a lot of damage if it cracks.

If you cut a slot for the first lintel and fix it in place you can safely take away the rocks on the other side and fix that lintel (or two). Works for me. Safety first, always! Love your hard work but not your safety precautions. Best wishes from Ibiza.

Next to the support, you should wash-rinse of all dust and sand-mud of the stones before motaring them. And make sure they are soaked so they do not take the moister out of the mortar and have maximum cohesion with the mortar. Good luck!

She is tenacious and I commend her resilience. Much of her applied experiments in renovation scare me! I have an emphasis in interior design, we learn about torsion forces, foundation technology and materials for safety.

Hi Maya. If it is legally possible, it would be worth moving the water wheel to some structure in that river, there is sufficient water flow and it should generate electricity for 24 hours. And a larger generator would certainly tighten the wheel.

@TheGarnetObsidian 12 днів тому

We are all glad you are alright. Yes, get professional help with load-bearing renovations. Punching through a wall under a large balcony?!! Omg! Be safe. ❤

@lfuentes4098 13 днів тому

6:38 kind of makes sense that you’ll have some cracks upstairs if your shifting the walls below. Even if you had propped up the balcony. But now you know for the next building start from the ground up and wait on finishing touches until all structural work is completed. Stay well.

@Ohanahart 14 днів тому

Another priority project should be grading a driveway so you can drive down heavy items and get deliveries properly. It's pretty fundamental at this point.

@TheGarnetObsidian 12 днів тому

Also, it is time to sink load- bearing posts to ensure the balcony has more than one safety against gravity and crown it with a railing. Maya may be part cat, but I get nervous watching her dangle from that balcony!

@BlueGreenM 12 днів тому

Hi Maya, your project is awesome. Just wanted to speculate that the big wall was probably intended to eventually be the stairway. What you have is the closed stringer on one side. A second parallel wall or stringer is still missing. The offset blocks sticking out would have served as tread supports. Of course, it should have been built with both stringers and footings from the bottom up. Also, I hope you are saving the floor stones you just pulled out of the bathroom floor for future stairs or patios. Have fun!

Somehow I really hope you learned something. The first beams you put in are designed for abobadilhas in ceilings and are not really good for lintels. Fortunately you bought the correct ones for the second window. Could not really see well the bearings, but they seemed to be kind of small for a stone wall. Finally, buy some steel props if you want to replace the floors in your other buidings - much safer and faster building.
