Building a jetty for my pond at my homestead while fighting the elements of winter and the rising pond water! Full jetty build from the START to the FINISH.

I have started my solo off-grid shipping container home build, and I could not be more excited!

In the last few months, I finished building my own house foundations for under $6k when I was quoted $60k for contractors to do it, I installed a concrete shed slab myself for under $4k, I got my SHIPPING CONTAINERS delivered and placed on the footings that I built, I got the jetty posts in my dam and felled some dead tree's all before winter hit!

I have recently moved across the country due to the housing crisis and bought an off-grid property with the dream to build my own container house.

I became an owner builder and after 8 months of design and planning I was approved to build my own home in Western Australia.

Subscribe to my channel to watch me build my shipping container home and off grid dream homestead!

    What I find appealing about your channel is that you get the job done, even if it's in an unconventional way. But you do get the job done! And your vision is becoming reality. Nice work.

    Wow Jas! Have been binge watch your videos the last few days and I'm so impressed with your can do attitude, abilities and positivity. Very inspiring indeed. And you are building a beautiful, helpful and caring little community here on YouTube too. Really sweet to see all the great comments, we are all invested. You got this (and anything you set your mind to)! ❤

    Absolutely brilliant - well done. You’re inspiring me to want to get my own bush block and build our own little family retreat. Love how you’re not afraid to give it a crack and figure things out along the way. Keep doing what you do Jas - you rock!
  • I'm totally addicted to your content! Your vision is incredible and its to beautiful watching it come to life.
  • Well done, I've been following your journey for a while. You're doing such a great job. You've inspired me to look into a container home on bush acreage I'm looking at. The land has grass trees too. 🙏🥰
  • @kenstorms2389
    As a person with little hand on experience, it always amazes me how much you get done in a single video. Looking forward to the next one. 😊
  • @aaronjack1
    Another great video ! Get yourself a tarp to just throw over your tools when the rain comes in so your not hauling a wheelbarrow back and forth everytime, tape up electrical cord plugs to keep the water out of connections

    Following your journey is a delight to watch. Seeing your dreams come from ideas 💡 and bringing them to life. And by yourself. You should be proud of yourself. Ps. Keep up the good job one day you will look back at these videos and see where you came from. 😊

  • G’day Jasmin, She looks amazing, well done !! Good on you for thinking outside the box, when it came time to lengthen the centre plank. I’d definitely would have been scratching my head thinking, how to solve the issue, with the materials available. Another major item ticked off your list 😊 Cheers mouse
  • @lukeryall2383
    Enjoying following your progress Jaz. Swimming off the jetty in summertime is going to be a life saver in the WA heat…!! Looking great too. Can’t wait to see the containers opened up internally and the house taking shape. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.🫶🏼
