On the floor drainage, put in a small channel to drain it off, some round bar and a hammer should work lol

Such an awesome project and being able to watch the process it takes to complete each solo section. 👍👍👍👍👍

Do you edit your vids yourself ?

early years were without indoor plumbing (until 14y.o) so I can marvel at your construction. that seat looks far more comfy than what I used to experience. very nice.

wow

Your upstairs deck. Consider spray on truck bed liner. In the US it is sold in aerosol tins and roll on gallons. It’s flexible when it’s dry.

I've got about as much building experience as you did before you started (you've got way more than me by now!) but I'd have to imagine that sheeting the top of those containers under the decking is the only way to ensure that the water runs off, maybe a marine ply would be enough, if it's on a decent slope? I could never do this the way you've done it , I'd need to have every single thing planned out beforehand - but that's why you'll have built a house while I am still thinking about maybe trying it one day. I'm sorry about Boss-Lady, but you're doing awesome!!

lol, I once set my backyard grass on fire welding when I was building my motorbike. The wind was blowing it away from me and by the time I lifted my helmet the grass had slowly burned a massive area. 🎉

Another great episode you're doing awesome 😊

I hear you when it comes to fire safety our time is almost up for the year things can get out of hand very quickly and you need to be extremely careful in Victoria there are certain things that you can do but you just need to take a bit of care for example providing it is not a total fire ban day you can have a very small fire going for cooking but that is it you can do welding and grinding you just need to be very mindful of any fuel source floating around because they will crucify you if you start a fire I think in the last 20 years that I have lived in rural Victoria there has been three bushfires in my town it's a little bit scary and it does give you a wake-up call in summer it's sort of puts you a little bit on edge

holy crap that looks amazing. a guest house for visitors in future. or a retreat for when relatives visit and they inevitably get on the nerves ... heheh...

Well done great work ❤👍🏼

Hi new to your channel, this may have already been suggested, I thought maybe you could take a tarp to the waterhole to chuck over your stuff when it rains instead running back and forth. :)

You could build in frames on the wood flooring for Aluminum Grating in areas you might find problematic with standing water. Hinged grates for under floor access. It may also aid in airflow under the wood flooring. Check the manufacturer’s plate on the container doors for corten steel. Material loss from unprotected corten steel takes place with glacial slowness, so if its painted well enough, it should outlast you.

Hi Jasmin, .... too bad you couldn't get some light weight channeled metal or plastic sheets, (like your roof coverings). Have it angled like the roof to drain any water. ( installed under your deck framing),.... know what I mean? Great show this week!

Awesome work 👏 all i can think of the prevent water 💧 is spray foam, no space, no water, marine grade so it doesn't act like a sponge

Suggest truck bed liner (paint) and floating wood deck.

Hey Jas, another fantastic week of progress and adrenaline fueled lessons! You were a Beautiful Beast kicking butt solo on those massive support beams!! How much do you estimate they weigh?? 😍🤯🤷‍♂️🤘😁🤘👏🙏🤞🎉 As for your conundrum on water, you have to create an artificial slope of some kind to get it to move naturally, or work out a way to keep ventilation extra breezey to rapidly increase evaporation. So, cheap thought would be to use tarps or plastic sheeting, and mount it beneath the deck mounts at the backside of the deck, and then connect it by overlapping down the side of the Container to create a smooth runoff slope. Which you could then have a gutter, and collect it all for your Rainwater Tank(s). Seal the ends off to keep it blowing in underneath, and I would think it should last nigh forever being hidden/protected by the deck itself anyway. But the thicker the Mil of the plastic/tarping used…the more durable it’ll be regardless. Sincerely sorry to hear about BossLady! ❤️‍🔥🫂🙏🤞🍀 Hope she’ll live for many more months or longer possibly, and love all your shared moments together! Nice first attempt at Raku Pottery as well!! 👏😍😁❤️‍🔥🫂🙏🎉 Glad to see they didn’t explode! You should check out some videos on the different kinds of things you can burn around the pottery to naturally create different colors/textures! Plus having a lid, or doing them straight in the ground the old school way gets some amazing results by slowing down the burn and containing the smoke. Feathers, hair, copper, different plants material, etc etc… Very easy things to source and place strategically around your pieces pre fired to make utterly unique one of a kind art!

Oh so sorry to hear about boss lady 💜

Aww Jasmine, I am so sorry to hear about Boss Lady!! I hope she won't suffer, but will still be with you a little while yet. WOW you are so strong - makes me feel like a weaky, especially this week when my back is out and I can hardly walk let alone dance - it was lovely to see you dancing on the roof!! I can't wait to see how your decking turns out - especially milling the wood part... Have a great week and give Boss Lady a cuddle from me and Jengo a scratch on her belly!! BTW - what is the other doggo's name? See you next week! x

Yes Jasmine do some research on this (ivermecton). Farmers use it on their sheep, horses, cows etc. I spoke to a girl when we were on holidays in Queensland and she was using it for her sick dog (had cancer and was old) but I didn't follow up because we were travelling around. You would have to work out the dose based on weight of your chicken. I'm not a medical person but even people take it as well. A farmer in his 70's told me he has taken it and he said he'd never felt better.

Hi my name is Sophie and I'm 9 years old. Me and my family love watching you every week. It's so cool that you have no experience and your building a house! 😺

So sorry about the news you received about boss lady, I am sad for you. Just hope she is comfortable in her remaining time. Another inspiring week on the build. Your channel is now my favourite. Keep up the brilliant work 💪👍

Hi Jasmin, I used Gripset Betta Weather Seal for the roof of my caravan. You can basically pour it on and it’s really thick. UV resistant and water is still potable.

How about that spray on rubber stuff to build up the grooves and make it all level.

@Building.a.Dream-Barefoot_Jas Fantastic video. You are truly very inventive. Can you tell me the name of the track and artist at the end of the video ? Such a beautiful track ❤

Starting to take shape. Great job!

So sorry to hear about boss lady ,amazing jaz as always looks like your getting a good work out, strong as an ox ❤❤

So sorry to the news about Boss lady.. sending positive thoughts and hope she proves the diagnosis wrong..🤞

Another week complete Jas , another mission or three achieved. Keep doing you ! You are teaching yourself and others so much . Boss lady will live out her time in the best home ever with you and her dogs .

👍🇦🇺room for a bbq on the deck

Thanks

Hey legend… amazing progress again this week. Bit of rain coming this week so good timing with the waterproofing. My progress is slower but had a fun week and got bitten by a snake 🐍. Heres a tip- have a snake bite kit handy. Thank you for another informative video. You have taught me so much. 💕

Why don't you try and use "self levelling concrete. Mix it up as a slurry and pour it onto your roof .

Jasmine You are an inspiration Well done . Thank you

Love the Topping off celebrations 🎉 Have to congratulate you on your rapid response when things got a little heated. It’s amazing how quickly things like that can happen, years ago I was driving a front engined bus and had a little fire because a rag somehow got on top of the manifold. Boss Lady 💔 When you are surrounded by unconditional love, every day truly is a blessing, although never seems to be enough of them 🧡

Hello Jasmin I'm out in the bush in NSW on my own with just animals - 6 horses, 3 dogs and Lloyd, the cat. At 60 now, have had my fair share through the years of burying a couple of dogs and a few horses in their 30s. It never gets any easier, but they have taught me a lot of things along the way. I believe that the grief with our family animals is always much deeper because it is such a pure and uncomplicated love. But that chooky is having a great existence with you, and she knows it. And animals differ from us in that they live completely in the moment, and right now, she is very happy. Take care ❤

Just binged watched 21 episodes 😮...... Sometimes i think what's she doing , but you're getting it done so good on ya 😉

Gee your a hard worker. hey to save your back buy a chain block, they are cheap and you can lift your steel up with it. Good Luck!

Wish you lived in the USA so I could take ya out 😍! You are stunning love watching your channel. We need more women like you in this world!

I'm so sorry about Boss Lady. She's so lucky to have a human who loves her so. So glad it turned out to be easy for you to get the steel pieces up on the deck.

Jasssssssssss …. I was again being mesmerized by all you were doing as you moved from rust removal (UGH) to waterproofing to soldering (YEAH)… just thinking how you were “cooking” when I saw the fire happening. 😱… OMG … I’ll never use that term again to describe doing something fast & well… so grateful you are OK! Thanks for continuing to teach us what to do & not do! So sorry to hear about Boss Lady’s diagnosis ❤… thank you for being such a great Mama for her (& the other girls you rescued & took care of). I get you are both blessed for the time you have together. I love seeing her & Jango (the rock eater😂) & her pal hanging together. My heart is always so warmed by you & their relationships together. I & dog & my property made it through the 2nd hurricane in Florida, US so back to following your fabulous documented footsteps towards fulfilling dreams! Good week filled with sun to you & the creature kids, Jas!

Hi very nice job you have done. I have a suggestion about the floor because you need water don't stay and kind of insulation 3 inches cement with perlite. Light and strong. Thanks

Try giving the chicken apricot kernels…. They’re full of B17 that kills cancer

So sorry to hear about your pet chicken. Love watching your videos even on a bad day.I like the way you do your happy dance, And you keep going keep up the good work Like your Music, you've got a good choice of music

Have you ever looked into aircrete? I was curious if putting a lip around the edge of your container tops and pouring a little insulating slab of aircrete might allow you to flatten that surface and also add some insulation to the home. I learned from Colin Furze that concrete against steel does help against rust too because of alkalinity. Probably would need to seal the outside of the aircrete due to porosity

Sorry about Boss Lady, love the deck so far, can't wait to see it finished. I'm guessing having an open fire depends where you are, in vic we can have 1 just so long as it's not total fire ban. All our farmers start burning off about now as well. Any recommendations on trail cams? There's so many now it's hard to know what's good or not
