START to FINISH building a jetty at my homestead! Complete Build from reclaimed timber and logs!

- 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.
Thank you so much that’s such a lovely comment, I don’t think I’ve ever not finished something I started I love seeing visions come to life ☺️🙏
Great job on the jetty. It looked a bit sketchy at first but you pulled it together nicely. Well done! 👍🏻
Looks bloody good well done! 👌
Year's ago I was a housemover....and when the boss first put me on the jack hammer,he said I couldn't produce kids within 3 days of operating it..... because they would come out with a stutter! 🤦😂🤣
😂😂oh no that’s so good I love that!
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas 😂😂
That's gold.
I think you need a small pop up waterproof marquis to use to shelter your things underneath wherever you are working to save running backwards & forwards with your tools!
The stain on the jetty looks fabulous. You must be proud as punch. Enjoy your sunrise coffee ☕️
It’s so beautiful hey 😍 thank you I’ll be having many more of those 🙌
Gee Girl, we're watching your videos here in lil ol New Zealand and thoroughly enjoying every stage of your no experience build. Your enthusiasm to learn and execute the newly acquired skills is truly inspirational. Well bloody done..
Thank you so very much, it’s been such an exciting new journey I just can’t get enough to be honest 🙏☺️
That’s the Perfect morning yoga and coffee spot. Love it.💕
It definitely is 😍
Sittin on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away
Yess love that song 😍
I just sang that line as I read it ❤
Im literally watching this as im lookimg at a property with a 5 acre dam. Definitely needs a jetty. Its a dream of mine to have a huge dam.
A 5 acre dam wow!! Amazing 😍😍😍
Where there’s a will there’s a way! Jetty looks so good!
That’s it!! Thank you 🙏🙌
Drums for floating jetty is lot easier to mate if this doesn’t work in long run 👌👍 Beautiful work Chicky babe
Good luck building your jetty Jasmin
Thank you so much 🙏
I know my comments are all over the place as I'm watching current and trying to watch older ones too. Not sure if your aware of Patreon but it might be worth looking at. You can have different tiers with names. Like food for Boss Lady, treats for the pup, new tools for Jas. As little as $2 or $5 . I'm sure there are plenty like me that would love to contribute. We get the pleasure of watching all your hard work. Just a thought and another way to grow your channel.
It was how great your balance is for me!
Haha thank you 😆
I love how you just get shit done! I envy your motivation, I can't wait to see the life you build with your own two hands, literally the epitome of girl power! I'm so here for it!
Aw thank you so very much it’s honestly been the most rewarding experience getting to build everything myself I’ve loved it so much 🙏
this was exciting, I doubted if you could do it for a while, but you did it. you are so badass and cute. keep going, there's nothing you can't do now
Thank you!
Great job Jasmin
Thank you 🙏
Awesome job you should be proud
I really am, she’s so gorgeous 🙏☺️
OMG LMAO!😂 during the jetty frame install your so funny and a good sport Jas! Great effort👌🫶
😂😂😂 it’s all part of the adventure thank you so much 🙏
What a great job you are doing I like how you get into your work and you don’t let anything get in your way and you are inspiring To a lot women keep up the great work
Thank you so much for such a beautiful comment 🙏
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 TH-cam too.
Really sweet to see all the great comments, we are all invested.
You got this (and anything you set your mind to)! ❤
Aw thank you so much for being part of this amazing community here, I’m so grateful for everybody and their advice, it’s amazing having some many different sources of knowledge and experience, as a teacher this is always how I made sure the children learned within a community not just directly from one source , it’s so important to have different views, experiences and opinions in this world , thank you for coming on the journey with me ☺️🙏
The balance and grace of a ballerina 🩰
Thank you so much I’m so in love with it 😍
You are so patient. I would be swearing, crying, throwing tools.
Fantastic job
😂😂 I think it’s from working with children thank you! 🙏
well done ,i should not have been surprised but i was once again well done
Thank you so much I love it ☺️🙏
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. 🙏🥰
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you are enjoying the journey! And honestly that’s so amazing and I would recommend it very highly I haven’t looked back 🥰🙏
be proud of yourself your vision is coming together.
Thank you so much ☺️
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas your welcome
Weekly Sunday watch at work, love it
Aw thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying the journey as much as I am ☺️
Your videos are fantastic, you are very multi-talented.
Thank you so much ☺️ 🙏
Hi Jaz , another top video, every week u u go about setting a goal and u complete it .. u make dreams come true an ur not afraid on doing something.. jetty come out well . 😊 looking forward to next week, stay safe and happy 🌹
Hey hey! Thanks so much for your lovely comment, it’s been such a great experience getting to build things myself and learning new skills , I can’t wait for the rest 🙏
You got it done and it looks good. Now to just add solar lights for night time effect. I put my pond on hold till I finish my out door 100x200 out door riding arena.
Yess solar lights will be perfect! Ohh an outdoor riding arena sounds very exciting!!
This is therapy. Thanks! 🙏🏽🫶🏽
Aww thank you 🥰🙏
OMG, fantastic job!!! You call the jetty a jetty, that's exactly what it is! I think BIG when I think of a dock (where ships dock), and a pier is longer, often made of concrete and usually goes out a lot further, like into the sea (from my experience in life anyways) 😁It's definitely interesting getting other's takes on this, however, it's defo a jetty ... and a fantastic one at that! Well done Jasmin ✨
Yess I agree 🙌🙌 thank you so much ✨
Perseverance pays off. It turned out pretty smick actually, much better than the wobbly beginings promised. 👊👊
Thank you I love it 😍
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas As do i. I mean thats what off gridding is all about, right. Im thinkin put a few fish in yor pond, yu can catch yor own din dins off yor whalf.
Great work getting the jetty finished. It must feel great to be able to tick that one off.
Yess it’s the best feeling now back to the containers 🙌🙌
You are truly inspirational, you've proven that dreams can come true!!! Thank you mate 🙂
Aw thank you for such a beautiful comment ☺️ I love it so much
I’ve been checking all day to see if you had posted any video ! 😂 finally the jetty is ready! Can’t wait to see more and more . Congrats on everything you accomplish 🎉 I’m such a fan
Aww I love this thank you so much! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the journey! I’m so in love with the jetty 😍 now to connect these containers and get this roof up 🙌
Can’t wait to see the progress on the house ! (Im a grad of Architecture) ❤
Oh wow that’s so awesome! I can’t wait to share it 🙌
Looks amazing, well done.
I’m so in love with it thank you 🙏
That turned out really well, great job well done
Thank you so much I think so too ☺️🙏
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. 😊
Thank you so much! Time to get these containers connected now 😆🙏
Nice dock😂
The smile on your face while sipping your coffee says it all, love it, you're amazing !
I’m pretty stoked with it! Thank you so much ☺️
Getting the job done! The jetty looks great. Looking forward to what’s next. 😀
Thank you so much I’m so in love with it and going to be connecting the containers this week yay! 😆
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
Thank you so much ☺️
That looks so good I love watching your journey building up your dream from scratch. 🖤
Thank you so much I honestly love it ☺️🙏
Well done Jasmine amazing job 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much I love it ☺️
Awesome job, well done and enjoy your morning coffee's

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!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it, it’s been such a great journey so far I can’t wait for the rest of it, I highly recommend I’ve never looked back ☺️🙏
Excellent. Looked a lil strange, but all is well it appears. Even your dogs seem excited about. Well done.
That looks sick Jas!! I love watching the progress and how happy it makes you! Amazing job, as always! 😌
Thank you so much I’m honestly so in love with it 😍
Gorgeous, what a great job you've done on it!! Well done
Thank you! I love it so much ☺️
I'm impressed............well done
Thank you so much
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
Hey hey mouse!
Thank you so much I’m so happy it’s worked out how it has, I’m so in love with it and so is Jango I know she’s itching to jump off the end! 😂🙏🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas my dog Vespa is the same, she loves swimming in the dam at my parents place, especially after I’ve washed her haha!!
Killed it.😀👍
Thank you I’m so in love with it ☺️

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.🫶🏼
Thank you so much! I can’t wait for summertime with the jetty it will be perfect! Hopefully start cutting the walls out in the next video if the rain lets me connect them on top 😍
That's beautifully made ❤
Thank you so much! ☺️
Very impressed. With your bravery and go it alone attitude. Well done. Wish I had some big land. I can make a I life on with my kelpie.

Nice work. The jetty turned out excellent.
Thank you so much, I’m so in love with it !
Ohh wwooow 😍 after all the head banging and painful bits along the way, I can feel the joy of this being finished. It's so pretty and I can envision all the plants growing up around it too. Well done lady! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so very much! I honestly can’t wait for all the plants to grow around it and to swim in summer it was so worth it 😍🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas it'll all be worth it, even the bits that feel like they don't amount to anything. 🖤
Well done Jas, the jetty looks awesome👍

Glad to see your progress as the winter rains were unable to fully stop you. Keep safe, keep making progress and God bless.
Thank you so much! Yeah the rain made it a little tricky but got there in the end ☺️🙌
Love the channel and also the way you complete the work.
It's really the only way to learn and to teach yourself new skills.
Sure there will be mistakes, but thats part of the fun !!
Keep up the good work 😃
Corey.
That’s exactly right thank you 🙏
Jas, once again you show such will and determination with a great sense of humour. You find solutions all the time. I love that you’re talking to us as you go along with each project.👌
Great job 👏👏👏
Enjoy your creation 😊💛
Thank you so much I think it’s the teacher in me I have to explain what I’m doing haha I’m so glad you’re enjoying the journey just like me ☺️🙏
Well done sunshine you finally got it finished and it looks terrific. You are a credit to your tenacity and an inspiration to all those who want to go "off-grid" but aren't sure that they can do things if they take that giant step forward... Congratulations once again...
Thank you so much! So glad I don’t have to get in that water again until it’s warm! It’s been such a rewarding journey I can’t wait for the rest of it 🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas I got the feeling that you don't like the cold LOL... I could be wrong on that though. If you think that water is cold try the stuff down here on the south coast of NSW...brrrrrrrrr
I'm totally addicted to your content! Your vision is incredible and its to beautiful watching it come to life.
Thank you so much! It’s been such a great journey so far I can’t wait to share the rest of it with you 🙌
Congratulations , remarkable 👏👏👏
Thank you so much ☺️🙏
Well done, truly impressive

Looking good great job Mike

Love ya work, you get me motivated to build stuff and give myself injuries lol😊
15:42, sounds like gunshot...it is amazing how persistent you are! well done!!!! things that does not go according to plan does not stop you! haha, wow, you inspire me!!
Thank you so much! Where there’s a will there’s a way 🙌
Hi i was so lucky to come across your I.G and utube page i love your content and i feel envy of your freedom to build however u feel.
It makes me want to do the same.
So inspiring.keep up the good work
Thank you so very much! I would definitely recommend it the owner builder journey has been incredible and so rewarding! 🙏
Puppy Dogs!! 🧡
Awesome job mate Love your work 👍🏻
Thank you so much I love it 😍
This is the coolest channel lol I found your IG and was like surely she’s got longer content then IG reels of her builds😂 I know what ima be binge watching tonight😂😂
Yess you’re a bloody legend! I hope you enjoy them let me know ☺️🙏
Well done spider girl x
Thank you so much ☺️
Living in the UK rain is always an issue. Have you thought about investing in a pop up gazebo for quick shelter when needed? You can work under it too
Can we talk about your balance? :O that's insane haha. I know you mentioned you were an acrobat, but the confidence to walk fully dressed over water on unsecure beams, you rock! :)
PS it looks insane, so happy that you made your dream a reality!
Haha and with a drill in my hand! 😂Haha thank you! I’m very confident in my balance but also my ability to correct myself if I stumble or fall, even if I do lose my balance I’m really great at regaining it 🙏
Get ur done. Nice job gal!
Thank you 🙌
Wow.. You've done really well!💪👏👏👏👏 I was concerned when the end posts fell in the wster, I wasn't sure what you were going to do but it all looks really good. I have a brother who actually used to build jetties for a living. So that's not a bad effort! I'd trust it. 👍😊
Oh wow he would have all the experience then 😍 thank you so much I’m pretty stoked with how it’s turned out too! 🙏
The dock looks, when will we see a test swan dive😂😂
When its way warmer 😂🙌
You've done well
Thank you so much ☺️
Good job chicko. Bloody good
Thank you so much I love it 🥰
