Next time you need to drill holes in metal try using some oil on the bit. It helps to lubricate and cool the bit so it drills better and doesn't get dull as fast. They make special oil for drilling metal but you can use motor oil if you cannot get the right kind. Any oil will be better than nothing. Also the bigger the drill size you use the slower the drill speed you should use. Just a few useful tip from one who has drilled a lot of holes.
Jasmine... I think the internet found the most persistent hard working positive woman on earth... I am looking forward to see each done job... You inspire me!!! Well done... 🎉
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas Jasmine, i am building a workshop, so i am sort of in the same kind of process, i wish i could return some inspiration to you... But i will continue to commend your hard work!!!!! 😄 I am a 38 year old South African man and i can honestly say you will easily outperform me with hard work! I better pull my socks up and start working harder! Thank you for that😃😁 i am looking forward to your journey!
Awesome progress Jaz. Great to see the containers arrive. The gold colour drill is called a step drill. Lubrication like WD40 helps with drilling steel, also keep your drill bits sharp, can be done with a bench grinder. And mixing two stroke is best done in the jerry can before putting in the auger. Once again absolutely loving the content. Fantastic! Can't wait for the next one. Cheers, Alex.
Thank you so much for all the advice ! That’s honestly so handy and will definitely come in useful in the future , its so great being able to get advice of here 🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas Yeah 100% mix 2 stroke in a fuel can... You will end up seizing your equipment mixing in the fuel tank... or on the other side blow tonnes of smoke and have a hell of a time trying to start it. Good luck your doing amazing.
Very cool project. For next time, the 3-4-5 method to establish a right angle works with any units as long as you measure all the sides using the same units. 3m-4m-5m works or 30cm-40cm-50cm or any variation.
I’ve been building stuff since I was a kid. I learnt the 3-4-5 method a few weeks ago…. Then called my dad. Told him. He’d never heard of it. Such an awesome little tip!!!
Engineers have calculated the surface area of the bee's wings, and it should not be able to fly. However, no one has told the bee this, so it just flies.
Utterly amazing work, I cannot imagine the effort both mental and physical! Just one item to make life easier the 3-4-5 triangle to get a right angle works with anything in ratio - 3-4-5 metres, 30-40-50 cm... take your pick. The longer the more precise tho.
And it works for multiples as well. 2x’s=6-8-10, 3x’s=9-12-15, etc. 12-16-20 15-20-25. 5-12-13 is another right triangle that would be more accurate in some situations. The bigger the better.
Ur doing an amazing job, jaz, but when drilling thick metal, get yourself some cutting solution or drill lube it will make it so much easier and save your drill bits
So cool. Tip for pouring liquids is to hold the container so the opening is at the top, yep feels weird but you won’t spill as much. Also you saw how easy the 20’ slid off the tilt tray, as a former wharfie I can tell you that containers stacked on each other slide in big winds so secure that 40’.
Thank you so much for the advice!! Yeah the container guys warned me of this too so the top one is connected with twistable locks and the bottoms level containers I’m welding to the steel plates ☺️ the guys were saying a ‘hover’ effect happens under the 40’s or something and they slide? That would be scary! Haha
Jasmine….stumbled on your channel through “off grid” searching etc….. Blimey, you have the looks, figure and complexion of a Supermodel yet you tackle, manage and execute work on your site like a Superwoman, you should indeed be proud of yourself and a big “well done” from me…! 😍
Doing well and I'm happy to see the containers arrived safely. For me if there is one piece of building equipment I really hate it's something that is powered by a temperamental 2 stroke engine and that Auger post hole digger would drive me nuts not starting when I want it to. I hope your arms are not too badly stretched after digging more holes.
Jasmine, use a bit of oil while drilling to keep the bit cool. Also on steel plates like this use a low rpm and you will feel the bit cutting into the steel like butter. Great work again, I love the freedom you created for yourself.
Came here from IG!!! When drilling, use cutting fluid. Will drill so much quicker and less wear on the drill bits Same with drilling in clay, when it gets harder, stop put a bucket or two of water in it. Let it sit. Will make it abit easier. So so stoked to see your progress It’s giving me motivation to do the same
Hey hey!! Thank you for being here for the journey thank you for the advice! The clay tip unfortunately doesn’t work water has been soaking in the clay for a month and it’s still rock hard unfortunately but that’s okay hopefully I can cantilever it 🙏☺️
FYI for future measuring projects where you need the 3-4-5 method, it doesn't matter what the units are, you can use 3M, 4M, 5M. You don't have to convert to Ft.
you know what does great at digging...water pressure....yeppers....love your energy and honestly...." I was not looking forward to any of the big stuff " been there done that, thankful I did it.
Jasmine I admire the heck out of you you've got more balls than half the male population you really are awesome.justone bit of advice I no your young an fit but build yourself a bench your back will thank you looking forward to next video 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! I have to wait for a shed until I can make a work bench because I have no where to put it out of the elements , I can’t wait to get one though, I don’t mind working on the ground but trying to get measurements right and things level on uneven sloped ground is not fun! 😂🙏
We went thru the exact same issue w our demo drill a special ordered Wild Boar form Bunnys. Got our money back and went and got a Bayer from Sydney Tools, so far it’s performing a lot more consistently.

@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas That's wonderful to hear! Your positivity and excitement are truly inspiring. Wishing you continued success and countless more amazing moments on your journey! ☺💫
Your an inspiration jasmine. I love how you get stuck in,and your not afraid to to tackle anything. Good for you ,i hope you get the home you deserve x
the 3.4.5 method works with any type of measuring system. ft meters bananas as long as you use the same on all 3 sides. you can even multiply the numbers for bigger areas like 9,12,20 always works
Clay. The ground where my home sits is full of it. When I expanded my home, we needed a jackhammer to dig for the foundation. I feel your pain! You're doing great! Those containers look amazing. I would love to build a container home one day. GO!
I'm so glad to have found your series because I'm doing the same thing with 2 x 20ft containers in South QLD, but just one step behind (concrete pour). Seeing you so energetic and charging through despite the found mistakes, worries and hard work is really inspiring and motivating for me :) So keen to get this container I'm living in craned onto the piers. Thanks Jasmine!
Oh wow thank you so much for sharing your story! That’s so exciting ! And it’s so bloody rewarding hey! I wish you all the best for your exciting journey ☺️🙏
You're doing just fine without my two cents.. but, when working with timber, the standard lengths are at 600mm intervals. 1200mm,1800mm, 2400mm, 3m for example. Might be helpful next time you build a jetty. 😊👍 ..You're doing way better than fine.

Trick for digging with the auger in hard ground, dig as far as you can and then fill the hole with water. Move to the next hole and do the same thing. When you run out of holes go back to the first hole and the water should have softened the clay and you will be able to dig it some more. Keep drilling, keep adding water.
I tried to auger where the ground was soaked in the dam and same result unfortunately but I’m hoping to get the jack hammer down there and that should do the trick! Thank you so much for the advice
I just discovered you today and boy, were you perfect timing! This is my dream. The dream I've been dreaming since I was a teenager. I was widowed 6 months ago, and we have a toddler. This is what I'm working towards now, I need a safe haven and oasis to just 'be'. And a place to raise my free range child lol. You have really inspired me and I'm really enjoying watching your journey! Wish you nothing but beautiful things ✨️🌻💕
Wow hello lovely lady! And thank you so much for being here and reaching out to me ! It’s amazing how we find things at the right time, I really hope my journey can be of value to you and your beautiful nature child , my heart aches for your loss and I wish you all the happiness and good fortune in creating this dream for you and your toddler ✨🌻
So cool Jasmine! Very transformative, your vision is starting to come to life! And a new skill unlocked with drilling holes in steel, well done, fantastic work.
Might be a bit late for this advice but it would have been well worth hiring a magnetic drill with the appropriate size rotor broach cutter and drilling lubricant like rocol to do those plates. Probably would have taken about 1/2 an hour to do all the holes!
Worked in a shop for years and years and there were times when I'm like why is this bit so dull. Yup in reverse. Good on ya, quite ambitious young lady your quite the worker. Good luck on your homestead.
Hey, the old 3-4-5 can be worked in any form from 3 boots 4 boots 5 boots too 3 snakes 4 snakes 5 snakes as long its the same measurement system. metric, imperial doesn't matter. could use beer bottles as a scale or a shovel handle.
Hey Jazz, the “little thing” you weren’t sure what to call it looks like a STEP BIT. At one time it probably had numbers (metric) or fractions on the side, but likely worn off now. A few more tips. Make sure you’re using a bit designed for steel, a cobalt bit. Looks like you’ve already seen the tips to use oil to cool the bit. Last tip I have is they have cheap hand sharpeners for bits that work ok. They help keep an edge on your bit. I wasn’t paying close attention, but are you using a smaller bit to start your hole? Or is that what you were using the step bit for? A regular bit might give it more to bite into.
Just wow superwoman ❤. This is the first video I've watched of yours so im sorry if this has already been discussed but i saw a video recently about using pigs to seal dams.
A tip when pouring fuel out of a bottle, rotate the bottle so the outlet is at the top. So the air can get in the same time as the fuel pours out. Much safer way of doing it.
Hi Jaz I reckon you'll start a new trend. All the labourers will have steel capped ugg boots on now 😀 seriously I love the just keep moving forward vibe
Go girl, you are one determined young woman, very impressive. Beautiful property ... i have no idea what you are doing with the dam haha, lookinjg forward to you shaping your new house .... thanks for the journey, gb,nz
Well done!!! Your patience and determination are inspiring!! Don’t forget to leave time to just appreciate what you’ve accomplished so far! Also your brain is chucking out the info it’s learnt once you’ve used it to make room for the next thing, it’s what happens when you are tackling many new tasks at once or close together which is why you sometimes have to go back and relearn it the next time you need it, mine does the same 🤪
Thank you so much! I’m honestly so proud of getting to this point and I can’t wait for what’s next! 😂 wow that honestly makes so much sense I am learning things at an alarming rate , our poor brains! 😂
9:16 truckies reversing always leaves me in awe too. Fantastic drivers. 10:20 awesome, leeps and bounds , Love it seeing your dream come to reality 👍🇦🇺
I'm not a big fan of them hand held post hole diggers. Had a run in with one before I bought a post hole digger for my tractor. The containers are looking great, cant wait too see what you do with them. Its early Sunday morning here ,now its time to work on my pond again.
Jumping around and I finally found your 2nd video I think.. Awesome work Jasmine ! Fail, Try, and Try again is Winning. I finally finished restumping btw and new floors are down for me. Can't wait to play catch up and watch more of you killing it mate. Yahoooo...
I just came across your channel and have watched most of your videos already. Great work Jas! I look forward to watching the rest of your build with interest 👍
Awesome happy for you. and for future drilling, if you drill slower it helps keep bit from burning out,stays sharper longer , and always better to use a smaller bit and work up to size😏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas you are amazing. You're doing what I'd like to do one day. Not so much containers, but, to build a house for myself. Watching you makes me want to be there helping ☺️
Ha Jaz has started an interactive TH-cam channel, When you used Siri to work out how many feet to a meter, my HomePod answered the question and even replied when you said Thankyou.
Amazing what you have achieved by yourself,nice to see your dream coming through.getting closer and closer.glad to see the containers arrived.impressive,impressive.just keep doing what you do best.😎😎😎👍👍👍
I'm watching your subscriber count climb pretty rapidly! Congrats. You are pretty much building the exact plan I day dream about, even the containers are in the same configuration! So its safe to say I'll be checking in to see how it all goes.
oooo those 55 gallon drum halves, gonna be handy down the road :)...I like that you used those vs. cardboard cylinder forms (i used those for so many projects) , much nicer look you achieved with the drums and the leftovers are usable
Hi you will be doing a fair bit of drilling to get built. Just a little tip. Try a step bit. They are not cheap but they are easy to use and don’t grab
Ust to watch life uncontained. But the chomp on other projects finally made me leave. So now youtube showed me your channel. And this is a rainbow of joy to watch. Subscribing... Hello from the U.K
Jasmin, I've said before " am in ore of you" your just amazing and so look forward to the next video. What you have done so far is unbelievable 😊. Your subs will grow and grow. 😊
Omg, the auger not starting, I can relate. Rented from Bunnings and it died with 3 holes left I have dealt with issues on mowers lawn trimmers etc. But 2hrs and a video call with relative who is a heavy duty mechanic still couldnt get it started.
Hey hey! I’ve introduced them in a couple of videos I only have one dog , the other one is my neighbours , the black little one is mine her name is Jango , she’s my soul mate and she loves her friend who’s a heeler , I also have chickens and a snake ☺️🙏
Great video thank you! The 345 rule would apply to meters also so that you could just use 3 m by 4 m by 5 m you don't need to convert it to feet. It's the ratio of the numbers that matter not the units of measurements.
Now I know how you work everything out and how to do it all. “SIRI” Helps you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Shit hot 👍👍👍 The Shipping Containers look great in places, it’s all coming along beautifully. Ok,,, I’m up to date with your videos. How far off is the next one ?? Thank you so much for sharing Jasmine, Your part of my life now 👍👍👍👍👍👍 keep it up and don’t stop your doing a great job 👏
😂😂 good old Siri! They do look so bloody good hey I’m in love with them! Next video is Sunday 🙌 Honestly it’s my pleasure I love growing community and I love having you here to join my journey , I can’t believe it’s only just the beginning thank you so much ☺️🙏
You're amazing and doing more than I am, but... You need to use a few more drill bits in your steps to get to 13. Maybe go 3, 5, 8, 10, 13 and you will make your drill bits last so much longer before they blunt and become worthless due to overheating. It sounds like it will take a lot longer but may end up being faster. You're doing great. I'm probably wrong but this what I've found from work. Disregard if you wish, I know nothing.
One thing is for sure you are going to save a bunch of money doing it yourself. Bonus side of things you have the internet and there is a TH-cam video for just about anything you want to do in construction. Plus you'll learn the hard way on some things. In the states we call that the school of hard knocks. I'm old so most of my learning was at the school of hard knocks. Got a Ph.D. in getting shit done. LOL
😂😂😂 yes I absolutely love that “got a PHD in getting shit done” that’s one of the best things I’ve heard in a while! And thank you I know it won’t be easy but the best things never are , I’ll get there and the mistakes will only give me more experience 🙏
Hi, just found your channel as I was watching ambition strikes as they were moving their mom's tiny container home they just built. Subscription on and I will be going through your past videos. Will look forward to seeing the next one.

I have never seen anyone so overly happy to get shipping containers. Happy for you .
It’s the best feeling! Thank you 🙏
Worked in a shop for years and years and there were times when I'm like why is this bit so dull. Yup in reverse. Good on ya, quite ambitious young lady your quite the worker. Good luck on your homestead.
😂😂 I’m so glad I’m not the only one! Thank you so much I appreciate it 🙏
Hey, the old 3-4-5 can be worked in any form from 3 boots 4 boots 5 boots too 3 snakes 4 snakes 5 snakes as long its the same measurement system. metric, imperial doesn't matter. could use beer bottles as a scale or a shovel handle.
Thank you so much that’s great to know !
Hey Jazz, the “little thing” you weren’t sure what to call it looks like a STEP BIT. At one time it probably had numbers (metric) or fractions on the side, but likely worn off now.
A few more tips. Make sure you’re using a bit designed for steel, a cobalt bit. Looks like you’ve already seen the tips to use oil to cool the bit. Last tip I have is they have cheap hand sharpeners for bits that work ok. They help keep an edge on your bit. I wasn’t paying close attention, but are you using a smaller bit to start your hole? Or is that what you were using the step bit for? A regular bit might give it more to bite into.
Just wow superwoman ❤. This is the first video I've watched of yours so im sorry if this has already been discussed but i saw a video recently about using pigs to seal dams.
Hello! Welcome to the journey so excited to share it with you, the dam is sealed now and completely full ☺️🙏
I am inspired by your enthusiasm and determination. Enjoying the videos and looking forward to the next one
Thank you so very much I’m so glad you’re liking them 🙏
You're almost there. Creating reality like a boss!! Remember where you started and always help others ;)
Thank you so much, it’s been such a great learning journey and most definitely that’s why I’m sharing it all on here, I love learning communities ☺️
awesome so far......came for the build......stayed for the eye candy and subscribed..... you are a bloody hard worker,keep it up
😂 I don’t know how to stop, cheers 🙌🙌
Again you come through it. Your going to have fun cutting the containers out its hard dirty work, how ever long your thinking double it Snapz UK
Thank you so much! Yeah that sure is going to be a big job but I’ll take it one step at a time can’t wait though 🙌
A tip when pouring fuel out of a bottle, rotate the bottle so the outlet is at the top. So the air can get in the same time as the fuel pours out. Much safer way of doing it.
Thank you for the advice ☺️
I'm so excited for you! You have worked so hard for this day. I can't wait to see what you do in the coming months.
Honestly such an exciting day and I’m still in shock I think haha thank you so much!
Hi Jaz I reckon you'll start a new trend. All the labourers will have steel capped ugg boots on now 😀 seriously I love the just keep moving forward vibe
😂😂😂 I love this! It should definitely be a thing! And thank you 🙏
Amazing work! I’m loving this project! Incidently… the 3/4/5 method works in metres too!!
Thank you so much ☺️
Go girl, you are one determined young woman, very impressive. Beautiful property ... i have no idea what you are doing with the dam haha, lookinjg forward to you shaping your new house .... thanks for the journey, gb,nz
Thank you so very much! It’s my pleasure to share it and I can’t wait for the next stages ☺️🙌
You are amazing! No risk, no reward!! I'm in love with your energy and dedication!!
Thank you so much! Honestly each step has been so rewarding , I’m so glad I made the decision to build myself
@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas what area of Australia are you building?
I've been to Australia twice. Absolutely love it there!
Well done!!! Your patience and determination are inspiring!! Don’t forget to leave time to just appreciate what you’ve accomplished so far!
Also your brain is chucking out the info it’s learnt once you’ve used it to make room for the next thing, it’s what happens when you are tackling many new tasks at once or close together which is why you sometimes have to go back and relearn it the next time you need it, mine does the same 🤪
Thank you so much! I’m honestly so proud of getting to this point and I can’t wait for what’s next! 😂 wow that honestly makes so much sense I am learning things at an alarming rate , our poor brains! 😂
Beautiful property Jasmin
Thank you so much!
Always use oil when drilling into metal. It keeps from burning up all the bits.
Thank you so much
9:16 truckies reversing always leaves me in awe too. Fantastic drivers. 10:20 awesome, leeps and bounds , Love it seeing your dream come to reality 👍🇦🇺
They are amazing hey! Thank you so much it feels so great to get to this stage !
I'm not a big fan of them hand held post hole diggers. Had a run in with one before I bought a post hole digger for my tractor. The containers are looking great, cant wait too see what you do with them. Its early Sunday morning here ,now its time to work on my pond again.
Yeah I’m not a fan either and they don’t work well unless it’s ideal soil! Thank you so much and good luck with your pond! I hope it’s going well!
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas So far so good just alot of dirt to move, maybe Ill post a short video after.
Yes 🙌
Jumping around and I finally found your 2nd video I think.. Awesome work Jasmine ! Fail, Try, and Try again is Winning. I finally finished restumping btw and new floors are down for me. Can't wait to play catch up and watch more of you killing it mate. Yahoooo...
Thank you so much! And that’s so exciting for you ☺️💪
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas That's so lovely for you to say. Thank you Jas, so excited for you too. Sending Love and Light mate.
South east QLD person here love seeing other Aussies doing off grid stuff. Looking forward to seeing you share your progress as time goes on.
Thank you so much I’m so glad you’re liking the videos , and I hope you continue to enjoy the journey ☺️
You have your own Billabong!!! Excellent
Yes I made it 🙏🙌
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas What a beautiful place
@@stevenowell it really is ☺️
I just came across your channel and have watched most of your videos already. Great work Jas! I look forward to watching the rest of your build with interest 👍
Thank you so much I’m so glad you are enjoying them! Can’t wait to share more with you 🙏
Once again Awesome. You never cease to amaze.
Thank you so much everything is getting so real now !
Awesome happy for you. and for future drilling, if you drill slower it helps keep bit from burning out,stays sharper longer , and always better to use a smaller bit and work up to size😏
Thank you so much!
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas you are amazing. You're doing what I'd like to do one day. Not so much containers, but, to build a house for myself. Watching you makes me want to be there helping ☺️
Nice!
Thank you!
I’ve been following you on IG and just started watching your videos here.
This is such a great milestone, well done!!!
Loving the jetty idea too!
Thank you for being here ! I hope you’re enjoying the videos ☺️
Love the episodes. Keep them coming, thanks for the great content!
Thank you so much I’m so glad you have enjoyed the videos I put so much time into them!
Ha Jaz has started an interactive TH-cam channel, When you used Siri to work out how many feet to a meter, my HomePod answered the question and even replied when you said Thankyou.
😂😂 everytime I was editing the footage it happened to mine as well
@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas One day Siri might ask Siri for advice. By the way, very happy to have stumbled on your channel.
OMG! Jas you’re a pure energy force girl!👊😮❤
Aw thank you so much ☺️💪
Amazing what you have achieved by yourself,nice to see your dream coming through.getting closer and closer.glad to see the containers arrived.impressive,impressive.just keep doing what you do best.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thank you so much I appreciate it! I’m honestly so stoked at what I’ve been able to achieve it’s so good to look at those containers 😍🙏
I'm watching your subscriber count climb pretty rapidly! Congrats. You are pretty much building the exact plan I day dream about, even the containers are in the same configuration! So its safe to say I'll be checking in to see how it all goes.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it, and it’s a pretty good way to go I think should be a decent amount of space!
You’re a beast, positive attitude and hard work. Waiting for the next video 👍
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying them ☺️
oooo those 55 gallon drum halves, gonna be handy down the road :)...I like that you used those vs. cardboard cylinder forms (i used those for so many projects) , much nicer look you achieved with the drums and the leftovers are usable
Yess and I was quoted over 18k for the cardboard sonotubes and that was without delivery and the drums only cost me $100 bucks so big savings 🙌🙌
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
My god, you are learning everything the hard way...can't believe your endurance, amazing!!💪💪✌️
😂 most definitely am! Thank you so much ☺️🙏
Awesome job young lady, you are crushing it.
Love the posts and your enthusiasm.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it
Absolute rockstar. Amazing effort Jasmine. Loving the content.
Thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos ☺️🙏
Love your content! So inspiring and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out!
Thank you so much I can’t wait to share more
Well done Jaz. It truly blows my mind what you do. 👏👏👏👏❤️
Thank you so much I really appreciate it, it’s been such a challenge but I’m so glad I decided to do it! ☺️
So awesome you have finaly got the containerts
I know it’s definitely an exciting stage 😍🙏
Hi you will be doing a fair bit of drilling to get built. Just a little tip. Try a step bit. They are not cheap but they are easy to use and don’t grab
That’s what I used ☺️
Ust to watch life uncontained. But the chomp on other projects finally made me leave.
So now youtube showed me your channel. And this is a rainbow of joy to watch. Subscribing...
Hello from the U.K
Thank you so much I really appreciate that! I do my best to bring value! I can’t wait to share the rest of the journey with you 🙏
great job good luck with your adventure
, Admiring from Orlando, Florida USA
Thank you so much and hello to you in Florida! I hope the weathers better than it is for me at the moment ☺️🙏
Jasmin, I've said before " am in ore of you" your just amazing and so look forward to the next video. What you have done so far is unbelievable 😊. Your subs will grow and grow. 😊
Thank you so very much I’m honestly so grateful it’s been such an amazing journey and it’s even better now I get to share it with everyone here ☺️
You are so cool and amazing congratulations and blessings in everything that you touch and everything that you do keep it up.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it! The journey is getting so exciting now ☺️
Amazing what you have done by yourself. Congratulations, God bless!
Thank you so much 🙏
Omg, the auger not starting, I can relate. Rented from Bunnings and it died with 3 holes left I have dealt with issues on mowers lawn trimmers etc. But 2hrs and a video call with relative who is a heavy duty mechanic still couldnt get it started.
Omg they are the worst hey! Honestly i don’t know why I grabbed the auger to do the jack hammers job 😂
Hi Jasmine i dont know if i missed it in one of your earlier videos but we need a introduction to your fur babies who are the what are their names etc
Hey hey! I’ve introduced them in a couple of videos I only have one dog , the other one is my neighbours , the black little one is mine her name is Jango , she’s my soul mate and she loves her friend who’s a heeler , I also have chickens and a snake ☺️🙏
Go Jasmine..Bloody legend.
Thank you so much!
You're amazing I love your energy you have done so much work 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much, it feels pretty good to get to this stage ☺️
Your probably all done on the drilling but some drill fluid def helps maintain the sharpness of the bits
Thank you so much! Always handy for next time !
Great video thank you! The 345 rule would apply to meters also so that you could just use 3 m by 4 m by 5 m you don't need to convert it to feet. It's the ratio of the numbers that matter not the units of measurements.
Thank you so much that’s very helpful for next time!
Now I know how you work everything out and how to do it all. “SIRI” Helps you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Shit hot 👍👍👍
The Shipping Containers look great in places, it’s all coming along beautifully.
Ok,,, I’m up to date with your videos. How far off is the next one ??
Thank you so much for sharing Jasmine, Your part of my life now 👍👍👍👍👍👍 keep it up and don’t stop your doing a great job 👏
😂😂 good old Siri!
They do look so bloody good hey I’m in love with them! Next video is Sunday 🙌
Honestly it’s my pleasure I love growing community and I love having you here to join my journey , I can’t believe it’s only just the beginning thank you so much ☺️🙏
You're amazing and doing more than I am, but... You need to use a few more drill bits in your steps to get to 13. Maybe go 3, 5, 8, 10, 13 and you will make your drill bits last so much longer before they blunt and become worthless due to overheating. It sounds like it will take a lot longer but may end up being faster. You're doing great. I'm probably wrong but this what I've found from work. Disregard if you wish, I know nothing.
Thanks but I actually tried that first and it didn’t work so well so that’s why I used this method thank you though 🙏
Loving the progress! Stoked for you! 🤙
Thank you so much it’s a great feeling to get to this stage
One thing is for sure you are going to save a bunch of money doing it yourself. Bonus side of things you have the internet and there is a TH-cam video for just about anything you want to do in construction. Plus you'll learn the hard way on some things. In the states we call that the school of hard knocks. I'm old so most of my learning was at the school of hard knocks. Got a Ph.D. in getting shit done. LOL
😂😂😂 yes I absolutely love that “got a PHD in getting shit done” that’s one of the best things I’ve heard in a while! And thank you I know it won’t be easy but the best things never are , I’ll get there and the mistakes will only give me more experience 🙏
Awesome progress looks great ❤
Thank you so much it’s very exciting 🥰🙏
Hi, just found your channel as I was watching ambition strikes as they were moving their mom's tiny container home they just built.
Subscription on and I will be going through your past videos. Will look forward to seeing the next one.
Thank you so much! Looking forward to sharing the rest of the journey with you ☺️
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas watching part 4 of the foundation build at the moment. Loving seeing you enjoying your build.
Well done mate - great work 👊💪
Thank you so much I appreciate it 🙏
I’m am in serious AWE of you girl 🤘 I’m so invested in your journey you’re such a badass😎and it feels weird to say you inspire me to tackle any DIY project now no matter the size 🎉
Thank you so much! That’s so lovely to hear! And honestly I knew nothing about year ago if I can do it so can you 🥰🙏
You're doing great. If you have any oil a bit on the metal where you are drilling will help.
Thank you so much for the advice 🙏
We're so happy for you 😊
Aw thank you guys so much!
