Love how you take your animal companions with you.
They come everywhere with me ☺️
As a retired Welder/Electrician.. DO NOT use the old welding hood if it has any scratches in the lens.. It will let the UVR light in and do Much damage to ur delicate Eyes.. Thanx and weld safely.. 😁
What utter horse shite. UVR can't pass through a scratched lens.
@@jeffyweffy7867 Surley it does though? I always assumed it was a coating. If that coating cracks and breaks, its a leak?
It's a marathon not a sprint. You are smashing it lovely xx It is so inspiring the amount of women on youtube who are taking on building for themselves. With love from an old bird in England x
Thank you so much, that’s so lovely to hear! I’m getting there day by day and jobs like this will definitely take longer than others but it’s all getting me closer to the dream 😍 thank you for being here 🙏☺️
Ask your local council for some old gravel or road base to lay down on the road .did you end up putting a small seat I your out door tub love all your videos hun slow and steady .
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jaswhy are you using what looks like 10mm steel to join the containers, 4 or 6mm would of been plenty
I've came in half way through your journey, always been curious about container houses , but my goodness you are a force of nature ! Jeez , your determination and drive is truly inspiring, its also been an eye opener , I had no idea it rained so much in Australia , I thought it was only like that here in Scotland 🤣 roll on next Sunday ✌️
I agree. I've seen container homes and who knew how much was involved. Not me. She is the bomb
You might feel like it's slow progress being there day to day, but from someone outside looking in, you have achieved so much. So proud of the progress you've made. Sending love from our family to you. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so very much! It feels slow day in day but when I look at it as a whole it really is incredible thank you for the lovely reminder 🙏☺️
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas Just keep working at it, bit by bit and piece by piece. You'll get there!
Hi really glad you are going to send the 9inch back. Was worried when you were talking about it. They can easily cause serious injuries.😊😊
Loving seeing you smiling through the grind Jasmin , all heart , beautiful spirit , well done Jasmin ! 😉🫡
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a lot of work alone but I just keep viewing it in small chunks so I don’t get overwhelmed and everytime I get to do something new it’s very exciting so it’s not hard to stay motivated which is good ☺️🙏
It might feel like slow progress on the day, but if you step back for a pause you have come _so_ far in a short period of time! You’ve been cramming on so many different topics and skills it is just incredible! From excavating, welding, carpentry, renovation, metal work, videography and editing. Everything has come so far in such a short span.
Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you so much and you’re so right, it’s all been such a big learning curve too with long jobs but it’s all beginning to take shape and it’s going to be so worth it 🙏🙏☺️
Definitely looking forward to seeing whatever next steps in your journey you’re going to share!
Jas so hope you go through with the refund on the 9” grinder, that’s really worrying me. You’re amazing mate, I so admire you. Oh hell Jas our dam use to flood so badly too. See you next week, thanks for the great video. ❤️
Thank you I’ll see you next week for the next one 🙏☺️
Woo hoo! Literally waiting for this to drop so I can watch before my flight takes off! Hopefully I can watch before I take off 🤞🏼
Oh what! You are a bloody legend! Thanks for being here with me every step of the way! And wherever you are going have a safe flight! ☺️🙏
No need to get down on yourself, just the simple fact your tackling this job SOLO is mighty impressive in itself. Keep pushing, your doing great. 💪😊
Thank you so much for the reminder is so nice to hear! ☺️
Your list of skills is astounding. You are inspirational. Can't wait to see it complete.
Thank you so much! It’s definitely a growing list and it’s such a rewarding feeling
so i have watched quite a few of your videos now, and when first watched and seeing how you do things and use power tools i thought to myself i hope this girl has got ambulance cover, but today you picked up that grinder and cut that plate freehand like a boss you looked very confident and that you had been doing it for years way to go. Also you cant complain about how slow it is with one person, we all know we would come and give you a hand with it, and we all know you would only just chase us all off with that snake of yours hahahahahaha
😂😂😂 thank you for the honesty and the compliment, I’ve definitely come leaps and bounds since starting!
Ohhhh dear the more u go thru the puddle the more deeper and the more ruts… maybe park on the other side of it for now until it can dry up or till u can get some gravel down or whatever.. just a suggestion!!!! Great job on welding so impressive!!!!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Wow Jas, absolutely killing it! Well done and thanks as always for sharing your amazing journey!
Thank you! And it’s my absolute pleasure thank you for sharing it with me!
Good job . You should get a set of trestles, much safer and easier to work on than a ladder.
Thank you!! I’ve been hinting but no luck so far
I loved the ELVIS touch in your video young lady !! He was the best . I have seen him 7 times in concert way back from 1970 till his passing . . I am in America what we call an ELVIS FREAK ! , went to Graceland two times once in 1972 ( he was home ) the second time in 1997. Went through the house . the feeling I got was hard to explain , felt like I was breaking the law . Didn't belong there , what ever . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA USA.
Oh wow that’s so incredible! You’re so lucky to have seen him in concert so many times I’m so jealous ! Thank you for sharing 🙏
You should consider building a concrete or pipe overflow for your pond at the low point of the sides. If it gets too full and starts to pour over the built up sides it will erode the soil and the whole side will fail.
Doing great, exciting to see the progress.
Thank you! It is 😍
Love watching everything u do!!!! You r such an inspiration!!!!
Thank you so very much 🥰
If you grind the paint off the pieces your welding, your welds will come out better, and you won't be breathing the burning paint fumes.
Amazing. I find myself waiting every Sunday for the updates and love seeing you take small steps forward on your dream journey!
Thank you so much, I’m so happy you’re enjoying it as much as I am! I can’t wait for it all to come together 😍
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas 📼 7 📹 yes now 🖥️ yes
Nice homestead; keep up the hard work!
Thank you so much ☺️
Wow, pro welder already.. The first welds looks so good and ofc you can't get good results with a wrong wire... happens ! Vertical welding is not a joke, and I'm still SO impressed !
And I just realized how much you could really do with those container cutoffs. You got materials for days, which is just banger 🙂
Thank you! I’m really loving the welding! And yeah wrong wire is my bad I thought I had gone backwards in skill for a moment before k realised hahah 🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas hehe... no worries... I did the exact same on the stick welder... stuff like that just happens and then we learn in a way we won't forget ❤❤
You're a superstar Jas. Another enjoyable video and more progress made on your amazing journey. Omg what a downpour of rain. Hang in there winter is almost done 😊
Thank you so much! Yess I’m so done with the rain but I do feel like it’s getting the last bit out and then hopefully more clear skies than grey 🙌☺️
Hi Jas, we've been loving the content and the different opinions in the comments that are giving you an extra learning curb while accomplishing your goals. We're about to start the same sort of container home using a couple of 40ft one's. What I'd be interested to know is the council processes and all the other must haves before start up. A rough estimate of fees involved to if possible. Cheers and keep up the good work your a real inspiration.
We’re all proud of you! Doing great Jas! Welding skills are great. Mines and oil rig workers make 6 figures welding. We need female reps in those positions. You could do it easily with yr positive attitude and willingness to take on new challenges. Glad to see boss lady keeping an eye on proceedings! 😊
Thank you so much! I’ve been shocked at how much I’ve enjoyed it! I would love to take an actually course one day ! That would be awesome and yes boss lady always over seeing everything 😂☺️
Your welding skills are really good Jas, my dad was a blacksmith and seeing him do welding, yours is close to his with an old fashioned welding helmet
Aww wow thank you so very much for such a lovely compliment!
Great work ur welding has come along way
Thank you so much ☺️
Just a thought Jazz , you could make a smaller dam closer to your garden area and run some aggy pipe a foot dpwn from one of your dam spill off points to the secondry dam and use it for your garden and it wouldnt get wasted .
Doing an awesome job on the containers and all your skills are rapidly improving , well done mate , strange seeing you all rugged up all the time 🙏
Yess 🙌 I’ve got already got a plan for that it’s in my look what I found under the ground video ☺️🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas will check it out
I’m glad you decided not to use the 9 inch grinder.
They can be pretty dangerous if they kick back.
Stick with the 5 inch grinders.
I had no idea how big they were!! And heavy so definitely was a no go for me 🙌
Good call… only need a 9” for the depth, 4” will cover most jobs and you won’t need to be Thor to use it …
I set my alarm to remind me to watch my Sunday night UA-camr.
Good job on the welding. Bit by bit you’ll get there.
Have a good week!!
Aw I love this thank you for joining me every Sunday for my little weekly update , thank you so much I’ve been loving the welding ☺️🙏
G’day Jasmin,
Your smashing it out now. You’ve definitely got the welding down pat. You little tradie.
Those delica’s kick ass, they have really proved to be a great 4by.
With all the rain you’ve received over the winter period, shows that, you can now plan around it. It also means, that all your future water plans, will be easier to design and also guarantee to be very efficient.
I had a giggle when you took the crew (family) with you to your appointment.
I have until now …. can honestly say, I’ve been all over this country and been overseas a fair bit and in all my experiences I have never seen a chook at the beach hahaha!!!
I hope things are alright, look after yourself (and the kids).
Well done
Cheers mouse
Hey Mouse!
Thank you, I’m loving the welding! Yeah you’re so right with being able to plan now! It’s good to actually see all the seasons unfold on the land here to better understand it and how I can create my little haven here! Hahah yes I realised when I took her I had never seen one on the beach either and I was thinking it’s probably because they don’t make the best company for dogs 😂 lucky this was an empty beach because of winter! 🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas
G’day Jasmin,
I forgot to mention,
Do send the grinder back, not only are they bloody heavy but when they grip and kick, they’re dangerous.
If you buy a cheap drop saw with the cutting disc blade, that would slice through your flat bar easily.
Personally I’d stick with the hand grinder (115 or 125 mm) for slicing through the sheet metal.
Mouse
im so glad you decided not to use that 9 inch up on the ladder .most construction sites have banned them
Yess I’ve heard this! And that’s why I’ve been so weary , it’s pretty big to ban them so there must have been some pretty bad incidents 😳
Exactly. 20 years ago i was on one all day as a TA. So glad when they banned them.
LOVE the video. It is so much more fun to watch you work on your projects than to tear into mine. Thank you for sharing and being an inspiration. Those welds look GREAT, especially for a beginner. And congratulations on fully sealing the roof on the first try.
Just a thought - you obviously need to create solid structural integrity to hold the containers together, but you do not need to do that much welding to accomplish that. Unless your plan is to have the welds exposed, which looks great as a style for the interior, you can shorten the overall time you are working on this stage by welding enough to add to strength and then going back over the seams with any of a number of sealing products.
Keep up the great work! you are now my new favorite Sunday morning treat! Well, your videos. Meant nothing creepy about that at all...
Thank you so much for all the kind words , I’ve really been loving the welding ! And I’m excited to share the rest of the journey with you every Sunday 🙏🙏
that grinder is barred from every work site in australia please dont use it. trade it for something you need .your rocking along dont get hurt .love your channel
Thank you so much ☺️🙏
The dam and jetty looks amazing.
They do hey , the dam is just lumping at the moment 😍
Nice job Jasmine, loving the progress. Defo need some hardcore on the drive though 😂
You're killin' it great work
Thank you!! 🙏
Buy yourself a “plasma cutter” they are not expensive, but make your life much easier,faster and more accurate when you have to cut so much steel. Good job!❤
I’ve got a plasma cutter actually but unfortunately I can’t use it because my power supply isn’t good enough, thank you so much though ☺️
Awesome episode as always, and awesome work on the container
Thank you so much 🙏
MiG welding vertical down , vertical up is best with stick
It’s gasless wire by the looks so no verti down
I love your smile and the way you shimmy around dancing. You're moving forward all the time . Well done you big 🫂❤😊
Thank you so much, I got to keep it fun ☺️🙌🙌
Love your videos I’m always wanting MORE haha this is so inspiring to me, trying to find a way around this housing crisis. You’re doing an amazing job ❤
Thank you so very much lovely! I was determined to find a way to have my own slice of paradise on a small budget 🥰🙌🙌
Great work. Love your determination to get the job done. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! No stopping me ☺️
Yeah you’re gonna need either some old road chip or a bunch of gravel to raise that driveway so you don’t get stuck. You’re doing great. Keep up the good work. 😊
Yess I’m trying to plan how to source that now I would love a big driveway done to the containers!
Those welds look nice👏🏼
Thank you 🙌🙌
It is so much fun to watch you have such a good time. Wish I was there to give you a hand cause I like doing the same thing you’re doing course what I used to do for a living, but I’m an old man now so all I can do is live vicariously through you young people.
Thank you so much! Got to bring some enjoyment into the job otherwise it can be pretty tough! But I’m loving learning new things it’s been so amazing ☺️🙏
Yep definitely some sick welding skills there Container Monkey.
Am I a bad person for laughing uncontrollably when you tried lifting the grinder??
Yeah definitely take that back cos that absolutely would be a looney tunes moment.
I mean you probably could use a nibbler but they can be pretty pricey for thicker diameter steel.
I cannot believe how fast your dam filled, that’s crazy, and you can’t even raise the walls because you would have to dismantle the jetty.
Having said that no doubt you will come up with some genuinely inventive solution using bits and bobs and a pocket knife or something.
Love Your Work Mate 🧡
Thank you!! I’m so surprised how much I love welding!
😂😂😂 no not at all I laugh at all that kind of shit , and wow I was not expecting the weight of that hey , and I was definitely imagining leaving that container with less fingers than I came in with! 😂😂
The dam is overflowing even more now , literally all the earth at the bottom of my property is soaked with water , I definitely need to set the land up to catch it more 😍
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas you’re welcome, credit where it’s due.
I suppose this is the first real test of how the water will flow across the land after some changes so now you can plan for the future even better. I have absolutely no doubt you will get it done.
Perhaps metalwork art will be a new career path for you ?
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas now you will have a better idea of where the water runs and sits to plan catchment
Well done 👍🏼 love watching your videos! Please keep your hair up and see if you can get a welding hood for the whizzes that fall on the head. With my helmet I switch it to grind when not using it, I believe it saves the battery😊. Just remember to flick it back to weld before you start to avoid a flash ❤😊 all the best wishes jaz
Hi Jas,
Great work on the welding. Those older style helmet is a bit harder to use once used to the new one. With the older one, if you leave the helmet down and open the glass flap, then a sharp nod of the head will close it, allowing you to keep your hands where they need to be.
Decay Melbourne Australia
Hey Decay!
Yeah I’m definitely a fan of the newer ones for sure! I’m glad to have a battery again, and spares 😂 even just pulling that flap down by the end of the day I had scratches all over my nose 😂
Put one a welding cap ore you lose many hair (in holland we cal it LASPET look it up one goggel )
G'day Darl...If your keeping the 9inch grind..make sure you review how to use it..thay are bloody dangerous. Make sure your hair is up in a bun and well away from the blade..Enjoy!
Jasmin your smile and zest for life is infectious! I love it when you dance - makes me so happy to see!!
Thank you so much! Got to get a good start to the day and keep warm somehow ☺️
Keep it up Aussie Bad Ass. Like your progress as always. With flat metal if you need a bend, figure out what would help, place it on wood or whatever is around overnight and it will help get those curves. Cheers mate :)
Thank you so much ☺️🙏
Loved it see you on sunday Have a great day
See you Sunday! ☺️🙏 you too!
You never cease to amaze me,your talent,your convictions your willingness to learn new things and skills.your just killing it.still worried about your hair,need to pickup a welders cap,will be helpful.just keep doing your thing and carry on,be safe.impressive,impressive.you are one of a kind 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Yess I’ll try find one! Is your mouth nose covered in them though? Because I get very claustrophobic haha, thank you so much ☺️
If there were two of you working on this project you'd be just about finished. Wish you could bottle up some of that energy you have and send me some. Getting old is hell.
Get a reciprocating saw. Will make it a lot easier and less messy
Nice drop of rain, greened it all up beautifully. Gorgeous.
It definitely has 😍
You are progressing so fast despite doing it by yourself Jas!
Love the day trip with Jango and Boss lady, and dayum that dam is full!
Thank you so much! And they absolutely loved the trip will have to do more 😍
Hi Jazz, I think it’s very cool that you have overcome any fears of welding but if you want to stay safe, any power leads external try and keep off the ground. Would love to see you. Finish your project, healthy and safe. See you on the road Andy.👍
Your doing an amazing job jas keep it up love x
Thank you so much I will ☺️🙏
Another beautiful show.
Thank you so much ☺️🙏
A old welders trick is to use chalk on the line you are welding, helps you see alot better!
Ohhh this is amazing thank you so much!!
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas No Worries at all. Keep up the good work!
make swales : for your water run off also look into permaculture design for your homestead ;) keep up the good work
Thank you so much ☺️🙌
Sunday mornin with Jasmin 🥰🥰🥰 Welding is one thing I always wanted to learn, but never found the time 🙂
Thanks for joining me for Sundays! If you do you won’t regret it I’ve really enjoyed it 🥰🙏
It is happening looking good 💪
It’s getting there ! Thank you ☺️🙏
You've got the moves like Jagger 😆 Jill of all Trades 💛👌
😂😂 it’s definitely harder in the layers
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas 😂 it would be
Doing so well mate, seems so scary to tackle all that work, but little by little you are getting it all done, learning as you go. ❤
Thank you so much! Yeah it’s a lot , I have to view it in small sections so I don’t get overwhelmed but I’m still enjoying every second and each new little thing excites me so much! ☺️🥰
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas that's so amazing. Look forward to every upload to watch you grow with this new chapter of your life.
Hey jas, Can I offer a suggestion, you might want to put a big fan inside to blow out all that toxic smoke while you are welding and grinding. It's not the best for your health to breath in all that crap. You are doing a great job, cheers all the best. 😉
Your eyes and smiles soo pretty ❤😂I wanna help looks so fun
This is so fun to watch! I live in Texas and am waiting for temps to drop below 100°F so I can tackle some outdoor projects. You’ve inspired me to do more myself instead of waiting for my husband to be there to help!
I love this so much, please let me know how you go I love hearing about other diy projects and creations! And thank you so much 💪☺️
You are an amazing inspiration! congrats on your progress so far
I love that weather - it's 37 deg here. I also get a kick out of how the chicken talks to itself. Wanna trade places?
Noticed the power strip connected to the grinder. You might want to get some fatter extension cords (particularly when using the welder); be sure the power strip is rated for the power tool amperage, and (if you don't already) keep your electronics power separate from the power tools; it's better for the life (and health) of everything involved. 😃 But then, you're probably already aware of these things...
Oh wow don’t make me jealous with hot weather, I’m the biggest hot weather fan 37 sounds beautiful to me 😍
And thank you so much, yeah I figured that out when the first power strip gave out straight away 😂🙏
Woooot! Another step done. 👊 Glad you're being safe bud. ❤
Thank you so much! Yes I know my battles ☺️❤️
You are amazing building your home can’t wait to see it finished
Thank you so much! ☺️
awesome!! i am learning so much watching the containers change. I made a fence for the front yard this week. now the dogs can go out the front with out the council yelling at me 🎉
Oh wow that’s so awesome ! Your dogs must be so happy too! ☺️🙏
Tough tough job,well done!
Thank you so much !
Another great video. I love your attitude
Thank you so much ☺️
Nice vlog and well explained. Keeping it simple and direct makes it accessible for others aspiring to copy your story. Well done and keep going. 🎉
Thank you so much that’s what I was hoping for! ☺️🙏
Time to get that plasma cutter sorted. It will be a game changer!
You are doing great! I love everything about the videos! That grinder did look a bit big!
Thank you so much! Yeah I was shocked by the size!
You're kicking ass and you're an inspiration for me to start on my sailboat build. And yeah, 9 inch grinders can be brutal. Trust your gut on that one. Keep up the great work and the good vibes. ❤️🏴☠️
Thank you so much! Wow a sailboat that would be amazing 😍 goodluck with your build 🙏🙌
Im so impressed of your and all of the skills you learn under the build. the only thing im worried about is that you are alone so much if you hurt yourself.
Thank you so much! And I have measures in place for that so I’m always safe ☺️🙏
Drop saw would be cool for you. Save on cutting discs when you're cutting all that steel. It was just a thought :). You're rocking it out legend
I have one actually 🙌 honestly I just can’t get past the speed of the grinder it cuts through like butter it’s so satisfying haha! Thank you so much! ☺️
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas I used to have one that had a blade not cutting discs. It ripped, it was so good on site
I'm from England and I've just started 2 watch u on youtube. U r a truly amazing person and woman and a lush personality. And I'm look forward 2 watch more of your videos.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the journey and I can’t wait to share more with you ☺️🙏
Don’t forget to grind down to bear metal before welding. For better contact
Phew….you are just smash’n it out lovely! Total determination!✊❤
Thank you so much! It feels so good to be making progress 😍🙏
Boss lady on the beach made my day ❤
Haha she loved it! She visited a few beaches when she drove across Aus with me 🥰
Hi Jaz, just some welding tips for you. With new steel it has skale on the surfaces to protect it, if you use a flapper disc to knock off the edges where you're welding it will be easier and a better weld. And big cap use tig wire as a filler to build up the gap while mig welding. Awesome work as usual
You definitely need an overflow drain pipe that stops water from running across your dam, it should run through a culvert instead. Not like you have much to do there anyways. Lol. Keep going. Closer everyday. Not many have the bollocks to take on a project of this scale. You are amazing with a great spirit.
Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️🙏
Good call on the 9 inch mate, had a mate who was using one squatting when the blade exploded and cut a big hole in his groin just missing his junk…not pretty. Other options for cutting steel is an oxy kit or a circular saw with a tungsten blade. I have used them myself and they are quick cutting and lightweight
Oh shit that sounds lucky and horrible all in one! Poor bloke, yeah as soon as I picked it up I knew it wasn’t happened and after seeing the size of the discs , thank you for the advice ☺️🙏
@@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jashi don't know if you get the brand evolution in Oz, they make a circular saw with blades for cutting metal would be perfect for that container sheeting
@@johngibson3837 we do but not common
@@tanyiabailey4792 hey up mate there must be other brands I've had mine over ten years
Great job welding Jasmin
Thank you so much I’ve enjoyed it!
amazin progress ,well odne all the weldin ,you are so gd at getting on with it ,yeahhhh,, ahh ur boss chicken ahh shes sweet, dogs love it htere ,see ya next week ,more more, more xxxxx
Thank you so much! They are the sweetest hey ☺️🥰
Good job.
Thank you ☺️
I didn’t even know there was a battery in your helmet that’s how little I know about welding lol great job Jasmine x
Haha yeah I had no idea until I started either but there you go! Thank you 🙏 xx
Should get some huge poly water tanks to pump some of that water back into
Great idea!
Sandgroper spirit, Jazy!!
For OS viewers, West Aussies are sometimes referred to as Sandgropers.
😂 that’s me 💪🙏
I think maybe a smaller angle grinder and also what kind of wire have you got for the welding, keep up the good work you're Killing It.
Yeah I think the small one works just fine! And thank you much!
You usually do not need a full weld on none load bearing. 1”-2” welds every 12” will be more than strong enough. 😊
