Uninvited visitors at my homestead!
Рет қаралды 574,079
2 ай бұрынI have finally started my solo off-grid shipping container home build and I could not be more excited!
In the last couple of weeks, 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, and I got the SHIPPING CONTAINERS delivered and placed on the footings I built before winter hit!
This week I need to finish getting my posts in for my jetty before the dam fills up and due to some uninvited guests, I'll be making a temporary gate.
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.

Just a friendly tip with shipping containers, when you open them and go inside make sure the levers are latched back to the container door with the swivel bit because if you don't and a freak wind blows the door shut you're locked in, people have come to grief like this because they couldn't get out and help didn't come soon enough, not trying to be a kill joy but it's a simple thing that a lot of people overlook.

On your wood gate instead of using varnish if you can get used motor oil and some diesel fuel do a 80/20 mix and use that on any wood that you have outdoors. It will persevere the wood for many many years and the bugs won’t touch it! Good Luck!

your gate will sag over time. if you had made the cross member start at the top by the beam and end at the bottom near the connector it will last longer. when it starts at the bottom it helps keep its shape but the support isnt there for the bottom over time. when you make a gate that is not temporary make sure you put the support at the top connecting to the beam.

You could try the old 'stick gate'. 3 strands of barbed wire attached to the post on one side and a star picket on the other. Put a circle of wire on the bottom and the top of the other post. The star picket sits inside the bottom ring and then you tension the 'gate' by putting the top ring over the top of the star picket. Add a couple of droppers or 'sticks' in the centre to hold it together

Two tips one of which I'm sure that you already do, and that is lock your containers that you are using to store your equipment. With so many people driving onto your property you never can tell what they are looking for. The second tip is to get some white paint, write private property on your gate, and maybe even add no entry. Just for your own peace of mind. You are doing a great job all round keep up the good work.

String up a tarp down at the pond. It'll give you a dry workspace without having to pack up everything and waste time and energy hauling everything back up to the containers. Everywhere that you put a screw into the gate railings, you need at least two. Great job, looking for the next video.

What an awesome video mate , the gates were a brilliant idea and you do need privacy because technically by law if your property has no gate then they can say they made a mistake and thought it was a track but with gates they would have to actually open them or climb over the fence and that's trespassing ... that jetty will look great a brilliant idea , can't wait to see the work on the containers , we'll done, looks better and better each video🙏

Awesome video! I always look forward to these when they pop up. Tips for chainys and tree felling. Have atleast two chains, get a stihl two-in-one sharpener for the rakes/teeth, chuck your gators on, and you can use canola oil for bar/chain oil in a pinch (but it will go rancid if not used up). Also, if you like pool then tree felling comes easy. Just a bit of geometry. Cheers 😁

the first thing I learned watching this is like 500 things al togheter. this is an entire school hahaha. I learned that you don't need any type of comfort or high end instalations or tools to achieve solid work and speed doesn't matter, you see to alway take your time to do things, it seems slow, then I think... yeah... slow and stesady is.... fast. Thank you for sharing your efforts.

you should clear some of the trees around your living area, given the fire risk in the Australian outback. either that or get a really good water pump to put out fires using the water in your reservoir.
