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.

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!
