Wish there was a update of some sort, many people including myself are concerned and truly happy if this is your Marriage time. Y'all deserve lots of happiness!! ❤️
congrats 🎉on the wedding. nice wedding pics. people need to settled down on the negative comments. you enjoy your time relax and come back strong.!!! do miss yall though!!❤
We knew they were going to get married, but they never said they weren't going to post for three weeks. I can't imagine that they don't see people's concern.
Pictures? can you say where we can see them.
Hello Kristen and Matt. Im so worried something happened to you guys. I hope its that your on vacation, getting married. Miss you both and the animals. 🐔🐔🐔
Concerned. Where are they? My favorite channel has gone dark....
@@stevenpurcell4292 It is said: "They did just get married 2 weeks ago and honeymooning"
@@GoPoundSalt Thank you for the confirmation. Ive watched them for what seems like years. thx again
What has happened to you guys,4 weeks and no update.
@@rodtait8441 They went off and got married and probably taking a well-deserved break from editing video and enjoying each other.
Matt and Kristen are you not going to share any news or just keep us who have been loyal to you for years in the dark?
You’ll be alright. If not, stay strong. We are all in this together.The time will come. K ✊🏻 k.
You didn't hear what happen? Omg
❤Congratulations to Matt and Best Wishes for Kristen for your betrothal!
Thousands of your fans hope that you had a videographer "catch" your wedding...and that you will consider sharing it with us!
I'm totally using "Today's been a great week!" The fence looks awesome. Thanks for the laughs and have a lovely wedding!
Today WAS a great week, whenever I get to watch GBU is a great week. Matt, I’m glad you get to go to Kristen’s wedding.
Do you want an invite suck hole
hahahahahha
Where are you two? No video second week.....worried about your safety.
Matt and Kristin, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!❤️. My Sunday’s wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t spend 30 minutes watching your channel. Matt, you come across as a rank amateur do it your selfer but you ROCK!!! Kristin, you are the epitome of “behind every good man is a good woman”. You also ROCK❤️!!! The privacy wall, fence, and gate opener are 100% professionally done. Pat yourself on the back. I’m an 80 year old rank amateur that couldn’t hold a candle to your accomplishments, whatever that means🤣.
Good month! One thing I have learned is to keep spare batteries for your gate clicker in every vehicle as well as in the house. I wish you were sailing back to the mainland for the wedding. ""May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live. "
miss you guys, hope that you are both well.
I would mount diagonal cables on inside of gates with turn buckles to prevent sagging ( just a thought)
Great idea, stainless steel so it doesn't rust.
I predict they are going to eventually need heavier duty hinges.
Hope they are OK. You would think they would post a message or even a video short about being out for 2 weeks so far.
They said at the end of the video they are getting married and taking time off from the projects. Let them enjoy their honeymoon.
Hey guys, I've used solar powered gate openers on my farm for @15 years. The gates are programmed to be slightly staggered so they can properly overlap. I didn't see it, but you must have a solar charge controller in the system to regulate constant power to the batteries or they will get fried over time. I have found over the years that the provided solar panels just aren't adequate for tropical climates. 10 watts is not enough for 2 marine batteries and days of cloudy weather. Just this year I finally broke down and bought a 100 watt big daddy so the batteries are at constant power for several days of clouds. A good Uncle Matty trick is to wire in a constant LED light on the inside so you can see at all times if the system is working correctly--No light=no power. Your PC board has a flashing terminal on it and you can wire another LED on the outside to start flashing when you hit the remote from the outside.
You need to put toppers on your fence and gates, rain water will soak into the gaps and end grain..Your hard work won't last 5 minutes with the amount of rain you get there.
Same thing I was thinking!
The extra line in the conduit could be used for wiring for 2 Coach Lights on the outside !
You need to seal that wood with stain or clear sealer or it won't last long in the moisture and sun. Raw wood is like a sponge to water and mildew/mold and the sun will cook it like a match. From an old fence builder.
Oh my God I need my GBU fix. I love watching in to see what else they do, don't listen to the negative Nellies Matt you do good work🎉
We're hoping to hear from you soon. Your well-being is on our minds, and we would be grateful for an update. Please let us know how you're doing so we can put our worries to rest. Thank you. Are both of you okay?
I know exactly what you mean, that anticipation each Sunday, it's the best part of my week ...on TH-cam. I started following Kristen and Matt back when he was sporting the mustache 😂 first episode I watched was when he built the thingy for the outboard motor. I've really grown attached to them. I worry about the battery acid Matt spilt on himself in this episode. I hope each day they're in good health, probably just kicking it in the BVI with Bear enjoying their honeymoon
I am guessing a family issue, which can be anything.
They did just get married 2 weeks ago and honeymooning
@@moniquedavis8128 Either we missed something, or the fan base wasn't aware, or only paying fans. Which is a bit cold...
They skipped town!
Mat
Put a small strip of wood or copper on top of your wood fence & post , keep rain out of open end of wood, will last a lot longer and look good
Wood under and behind batteries will help insulate them from the concrete.
Pro tip: Put a thin 2” strip on the “early” door of your gate. It will allow the two doors to align and hide any cracks.
WHERE ARE YOU BOTH...MISSING YOU BOTH...from TEXAS
Three years ago I recommended you marry Kristen, glad you see her value, Congratulations. You two are a great team and I'm so impressed with your spirit to accomplish. You've done so much and your entry to the land is so beautiful.
Matt's got so many skills and if he doesn't he learns... Also his attitude and vibe is top notch 👌
1 Congratulations on the marriage. Matt, don't do anymore sanding.The wood will naturally Shrink. I look forward to your videos every Sunday. Thank you.
At 2:39 in the video, I see a baby Breadfruit tree on the edge of your property. You should try to clear some space around it, and you'll always have Breadfruit available.
This is the second week you haven’t put out an episode. Is your wedding happening? Did something else happen and are y’all OK? Hope to see another episode soon. I’m really missing my GBU fix.
They can"t be doing anything they haven"t done before.
😵💫
@Mat, consider adding at least one more hinge to each gate. it will distribute the weight more evenly.
guys the tops of your fence planks look like they are taking moisture. if you've not sealed them do so quick with your stain.
I'm so happy for you both. I've watched every episode and have seen you both grow and succeed in everything you set your minds to. You both are perfect for each other
If those gates continue to sag Matt may need to install a diagonal cable tensioner. Kinda like rigging.
You could put a sag line on the gate doors ..Use all thread and a cleat diagonal top left to bottom right.. good luck… always enjoying your videos
You put a strip over the one that slower, so it closes against the other.
That whole fence and stucco wall and automatic gate puts you folks into the millionaire leagues. Looks fantastic! Congratulations on your wedding and keep on keepin' on !
If you cap the wall it might last longer and possible fit a small filler plank to overlap the gate to close the gap between doors
Almost every double gate I have ever seen, the two halves moved at different times, rates. The big thing it fully opens and closes.
I suggest that you seal the tip of the boards so that water doesn't penetrate ! Epoxy will be fine...
Looks great, you need to put a top on your board to keep the rain off the end grains.
Admire the work…regard from Tokyo❤
If the sagging continues to worsen, you might consider switching to strap hinges, which not only prevent sag, they are super handsome!!
"Today's been a great week" would be an awesome T-shirt! Nice to see how well things are coming along. Have a wonderful wedding!
Hope to see some pictures of you and your Beautiful Bride, Matt!
"Today has been a great week." (see ya next week) love it, totally a sentiment at the end of every Monday.....lol
All the best for the nuptials. May Tyra not interrupt the preacher with a rendition of “It should have been me!”
what about some kind of lamps on top of the fence? like old style copper carriage lamps
As usual, I really enjoyed today's "episode". Please start applying wood sealant to your beautiful fence. Without the sealant, your fence will rot really quickly. I had a house in St. Thomas for years and wood rots very quickly.
Those Tapcons will hold for sure.. and honestly I would NOT have thru bolted either, you always can down the road IF you have to but you made right choice.
What a pair you guys are. Love you both. GREAT job on the gates and fence...!!! Gonna be Matty and Krista's Villa on the Hill!!
Maybe someone should formally name Kristin's & Matty's place?
Villa on the Hilla
Nice work you guys.
I think you ought to consider a t-shirt that says smart fella or fart smeller.
Love it.❤
I haven't had much luck with Tapcons. I think the through bolts are the way to go, and a little stucco would make it invisible. Always fun with you. Happy wedding and enjoying your family.
I can't believe Matt disrespected his bride like that!! Tyra Banks. Anyway, great job on the remote control gates!!
Sweet Trick sucking the line through Matt. I use a wire pull retractable tool, but THAT is the way to adapt and overcome without buying another tool.
I have watched every single episode. I look forward to you guys every Sunday. I literally LOVE you guys! You feel like family! Seriously.
Looks like your building a resort there! Congrats on the marriage!
I literally said at the same time.. how’s a day a great week 😂😂❤👍🏻
Uncle Matty you kill me.....SHe said "Boy don't you dare talk to me like that you just get my fence right!!!!!!!" You tell em Kristen!!!!!
Nice job. Now all the little critters will be safe. 😊 You guys are awesome! 💖
Wow from the Florida days til now I’ve been a follower I’ve got to say I have missed the DD and those sea days but your farm is as beautiful as you two are , what a great pair you make and by the time we see this vid I bet your hitched as Matt would say, Congratulations! Stay safe stay cool stay loving.
Did you fill the cinder block cells with concrete where you bolted the hydraulic ram to the wall??
If not you still can by taping a hole above and below. Stuff the cell below with wadded up paper to hold the new concrete poured in the top hole. If there is no existing concrete filled in those cells, your ram screws into the wall will not last long at all. They will eventually wobble loose as you are using the gates.
Also, stick wheels on the bottoms of both gates to keep them from sagging. Otherwise they will continue to sag, and you will be always sanding to make them meet and close all the way.
Kristen, your man MATT is one freakin talented man! Treat him right girl!!!
Hola Muchachos los tengo que felicitar. Ustedes estan haciendo una excelente labor en su propiedad. Todo va a quedar hermoso. Dios los bendiga.
Great episode! You guys totally rock. We finish Sunday evening up with GBU. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Since Matt is always asking for advice on things in the comments, here's some advice for the groom. Your job is to show up and shut up. Trust me on this one. ❤❤
Good job with the operator installation. To adjust how far the gates open refer to page 27 of the manual adjusting limits and adjust the “A” limit next to the pivot point of the wall bracket. To change the gate to open and close at the same time change the #3 and #4 dip switches to off. This is on so if you have a mag lock or strike installed. If you have any problems with the batteries in the future make sure you swap to Marine Deep Cycle batteries. They stay charged better on solar applications. Gate operators is what I do for a living. Enjoy!
For a secret outside button. drive 2 nails or screws through the wood or wall and attach the gate wires to them. then just touch the screw heads with your car keys. Incase your remote battery go dead, you can still open the gate!
I am watching you both working { HARD AND SMART } at the same time WOOOOHOOO Don't stop
I hope y’all make a Special episode of yawls wedding that would be cool watching all every week you are a funny hilarious couple and I can’t wait to watch as the next episode and what you’re gonna do next
I would buy a "Today has been a Good Week" tee..
Gate is looking great
Thank you for the videos
I did the ultimate "Uncle Matty" A solar gate opener for my beer cooler. I wholeheartly recommend.😃
If you ever want an inexspensive capping method for your double wooden fence, look into square shaped gutter lengths that come in all widths and colours. Here in South Africa its made of galvanised metal but oversees I see it comes in compound material thats like plastic. Just something to think about seeing as you have so much rain on the open top end of the wood grain boards.
Should be able to make adjustments on the arms to correct opening issues. Gate/fence looks great guys. Looking good GBU!
well done
Lovely breadfruit tree at the end of your fence, take care of it, great food!
With all of those scrap wood bits, a fire pit would be a good addition to the Base Camp....It's called Algebra(Yuck)....
Pray y’all are OK haven’t heard from y’all in two weeks,🌹
Your entry really is impressive ; we've had an electric gate for many years and it makes for a much more secure property . One thing matt if the gates develope any sagging i've seen people mount small wheels for added stability . Also build a small enclosure for your batteries ... you know all this stuff your a good builder ! BTW : Congradulations on the wedding plans go team go !
I have four electric gates (2 pairs) and they both open and close just like yours. One gate is a little in advance of the other. They work fine and have always been the same since the day of installation 20 years ago, so I wouldn't worry.
Looking good gate wise. Happy for the upcoming nuptials. You are such a great couple. Following your adventures these past years has been lots of fun for me.
no video again, i'm getting worried i hope you kids are okay, God bless
Totally encapsulate your positive battery connection with axel grease and it won't corrode in that tropical rain forest y'all live in. Yes I'm a Texan.
Your love for each other is so fun and adorable!
You two are hilarious. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I’m guessing it’s possibly now. Hope all goes well and are looking forward to seeing how you both scrub up in your clobber. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
The fence looks awesome you can't even tell their is an angle from one side to the other.
Awesome video guys!!! Everything looks so good. See y'all next time!
You have a keen eye on placing the knots in the wood. Looks great.
if you have wifi, you can install a wifi module in the control panel and have alexa/siri configured to open the gate remotely.
mainly have fun and enjoy each other, good job on the fence and gate
Do I have to come down and rescue uncle Mattey??? Where ya at?
I just looked and I subscribe to 115 youtube channels but your videos are the only ones I wait for. I even watch my other Sunday morning sub videos first so that I can savor yours over a cup of coffee and a croissant. Kristen and Uncle Matty's chicken coop, goat ranch and part time cathouse are the best.
Another super groovy episode. You two are so talented and funny.
I'm loving the way things look at the estate. Now go get married so we can all have some cake!
fENCE LOOKS GREAT ! ! ! ! TAKE CARE and STAY WELL
Howdy Matt & Kristen from San Diego. Yes - Merch … new T-Shirt : Today’s been a good week !!!! Oh yeah - numero uno today 🎉
Hope your ok.
I’m really appreciating your ingenuity and hard work. I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your efforts.
The gate looks good sooner than later you will notice how much wood expands and contracts with time and the elements
Great job guys! You continue to surprise us with your DIY skills, and the humility to laugh when it doesn't go perfect!
Lovely job 👍☘️🇮🇪
Today is being a good week ! LOL
Every “estate” needs a name. Like to put on your gate. You need to name of your place!
We named ours Appreciation Acres
