I have no idea what this thing is your putting together today but I love you and your family so much I think I would be excited to see you screw in some light bulbs on video. I miss you. I have gone back and watch from the beginning before you moved the House to your new property 4 times. Your fun and educational to watch. I am 70 year old women alone and live in a mobile home as well and a day doesn't go by that I think or wish I could improve things in my home like the way you did. Can't wait till your next video. Thank you.
Those are so handsome boys and getting so big And have such good manners too I miss yall on videos but I know life gets busy tyfs hugs and much love ❤️
No matter what you give sam to do he's does it!! You just have to marry your handy man lol!! And even one who is tech savvy!! Can't lose thank you for sharing bless you all!!
Was Missing You All...GLAD TO SEE Each of You, and Both Boys Helping Dad & Mom today. Pretty Cool System..I don't have any use for one where I live but would be Nice for those who do..
Point a video security camera (zoom style) at the gate to monitor activity and potential folks that want a new previously installed ghost gate opener or parts.
Hi. Haven't seen your channel come across my screen in quite a while. I was happy to see what you have going on your homestead. So nice to include the boys when you can. They are learning so much from both of you. From Central Okla.
We've been working to install perimeter fencing around our whole property over the last month or so. :) That series of videos will be coming out soon-ish.
Your best bet on lightning protection is to install a “lightning arrestor” into your power feed upstream from your circuit board. I used to do that on commercial gate openers on the west coast of Florida (the lightning capitol of the world). Believe me,it saved many a circuit board!
Transponder. Idea: Hang/place the extra wiring under the top black box on the pole for a cleaner/hidden (more) app application ..... you could even enclose them after with some black plastic covering. Place a sign on gate...call/contact etc for access!!!!!! Great lookin job.
*** I can not stand all the Cuteness!! omgosh, so adorable working with dad and even has his bandana on too. I love watching these, kids helping dad, videos. so darn precious.. and important learning life skills and making memories.. so wonderful. oh and love the automatic gate opener too =D
A little tip for the grounding rod. Drive it in at least 3ft away from the devices you are grounding. Keeps any arc discharge to ground away from sensitive device
Good luck with it I've had 4 of these gate openers within 3 years nothing but issues I finally got sick of it and spent the money to have a sliding gate with opener and it works amazing
Granddad said doors and windows just keep the honest people out. Awesome video, as always! Great to see the boys helping and shocked how they have grown!! Handsome, helpful, sweet, polite young men and I know they LOVE the pool! Hope all has an awesomely blessed weekend!
We just recently finished the HUGE project of installing perimeter fencing around our whole property. We have a whole series of videos coming out soon on that project from start to finish. :)
Zombie lock gets my vote, as a single gal! 🧟🧟♀ Really happy you have a remote-controlled solar gate opener. So practical and a time-saver! AND, solar! 👏👍✨😍🌞☀
I live behind a gate like that and it gives me a a feeling of general safety. It prevents people from coming down the road to ask questions, or coming cos they are mistaken about which road to take etc. I do realize a person can get past it, but like a door lock, it makes your place a little more inconvenient than some other places.
@@charlene5461 I agree if a person REALLY wants to get in, they can, but where there are easy pickings to the left and right, it still improves your chances.
I have the same unit. I have the zombie lock and love it. I also replaced the arm pins with locking pins. I put matching locks on the pins, control box and battery box. Also, I would suggest where the arm clamp connects to the gate, drill holes thru the gate and attach it there. That clamp will move as the gate gets hot or cold and your arm will get out of balance.
So cool that you got this installed and you all did a great job, there is nothing wrong with keeping your property a little safe and keeping people from just driving up and getting near your house and if you don't know them it will help. Thanks so much for sharing this great video, have a wonderful rest of your day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂😍🤗👋👍🙌🌟✨🎉💜💜
I'm looking to get a gate opener. How do you like it? Can you use a bigger battery for the solar panel? What is the maximum gate size/weight that it operates or are there multiple options to choose from?
Nice! Definitely a good thing to have. Always wanted one of these for our property in Florida before we moved….would have been such a great convenience…. Opening and closing that gate was a real pain. Good luck with it! 😊
Good install I did one at work and put the latch thing on the other end of the gate just because it's constantly really windy and the latch keeps it from rocking back and forth on the gear stuff inside the opener. So if you're looking for an excuse to "zombie proof" your property there you go
We have double solar ghost controlled gates. Be aware they do NOT like electrical thunder storms. Ours will open in really bad storms and have lost tolerance two times. Keep your books and phone the customer service and they will walk you through how to reset your tolerances. Love mine even with the problems we have had.
Not true. This is a tired expression that doesn't actually represent reality and spreads a defeatist attitude. Locks are to provide an impediment, to slow down or alter the behavior of someone with ill intentions. Sometimes that leads to complete protection from that person, sometimes it is less effective at it, all depending on the skill and motivation of the attacker. Regardless, that is what a lock is for. If you truly believed that nonsense about locks, you would not use any lock, ever.
That's what my dad thought. Said a thief would just break a window to get into the house. Then I had to explain to him that if the insurance company found out he didn't lock the doors because a thief would just break a window, the insurance company would do everything they could to get out of paying a claim because he literally did nothing to protect his property.
If it was locked and you're in it..I don't have to worry about it as much when I'm cycling the lever action. When it's opened people just play dumb and make excuses.
I use to deliver to places that had security gates and several wouldn’t have a key pad and I usually found a way in to make deliveries the ground rod is a great idea I would think you could ground it at the green wire I can tell you from recent t was hit by static electricity first took out Wi-Fi router fist time second time got two cameras Wi-Fi router again 1 tv and the internet radio head and all this was off at the time
Great job dad! Without men like this we will not have tradesman in the near future. Teaching our kids to work is the greatest lesson in the new world in my opinion. Thank you
So happy to see you! Been missing your videos! I hope you did ok in the horrible weather that tore thru your area. I was wondering about you. I think you need to build a storm shelter underground if tornados roll thru! / Cool gate gizmo! Love it! Take care! ❤❤❤
One thing about Tennessee. It is notorious for night time tornadoes and there is usually very little warning because they’re hard to spot when it’s pitch black out.
Although we have two ground rods on our electrical box, we still had a lightning strike last month. Scared the buggers out of us, but thankfully no one got hurt except our 10 year old TV. Fried it good. It was very strange, because it didn't bother any appliances at all. Well hubby got an upgrade and its now plugged into a dedicated surge protector. Live and learn.
Thanks for posting! You’re lucky you installed a single gate closer, running wire in conduit under driveway is a lot more involved! As for the ground not being included , I think it’s a precaution against attracting lightning , as much as mitigating a strike. Here in Hawaii , basalt acts as an insulator, solar systems succumb to strikes up to a quarter mile away, where it can travel in the ground and seek wiring for an exit!
Nice job! Can you imagine having that opener attached to your toilet seat and the arguments saved by the little Mrs. not sitting on a wet seat? Ok, I know, that’s just weird but it’s 4:45 am when I watched this segment. As for the zombie thing, just shop at Walmart and there you’ll find them zombies!
Nice video. I purchased and installed a ghost control gate opener on our property. I followed the easy instructions yet after several attempts to get the gate to close and remain closed I finally gave up and returned the item. If you’re considering purchasing a gate opener do your research. Read the reviews. Good luck.
I love that you included the boys your a good Dad for teaching them. That’s how it should be. Thank you for throwing some really good boys.
It was SO COOL to see Isaac helping! He’s growing up so fast, he was so little when I started watching your family 😢
Awesome letting him learn!!! Best way to learn is the trial and error, think we have all been there done that lol. :)
Awesome seeing the patience while teaching your sons. 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
Im so happy to see you all again , it seems like months but its probably not in reality .Good evening Sam and Angela and the boys
Makes it easier to get into and leave the property from inside the vehicle. Always a bonus feature.
Thank you for sharing God bless.

Again I love that daddy. Always encouraging never ugly or short when teaching his sons! ❤
My boss installed that same system about 2 years ago and they love it
So good to see Isaac helping......my goodness he looks a lot like his dad !😊
Those are so handsome boys and getting so big And have such good manners too I miss yall on videos but I know life gets busy tyfs hugs and much love ❤️

Pretty sweet. Nice gift for the boys 😁
Some serious-lookin big black clouds coming your way! CHEERS from HERE!!!
That is really nice!great to see you! Those feral boys are amazing!

I so much enjoy your videos, your family is so nice and have filled many lonely hours for me. Thank you

12:03 на провода нужны наконечники, чтоб провод был единым и сечение не нарушалось провода и они не отгорали.
I thought you were vacationing on the homestead...I guess it feels good working on your own property 😁
Transponder. Idea: Hang/place the extra wiring under the top black box on the pole for a cleaner/hidden (more) app application ..... you could even enclose them after with some black plastic covering. Place a sign on gate...call/contact etc for access!!!!!! Great lookin job.
May the lord bless and protect you and your family
Kool gate control. I like the sensor for your visitors to leave. But but that zombie lock must really be something special. LOL
The Zombie lock is worth every penny
Hi, I think that installing the gate opener was a great idea.
I bought some small padlocks 🔒 for the pins just keeps it a bit more secure just fyi great job guys
That's a great idea!
*** I can not stand all the Cuteness!! omgosh, so adorable working with dad and even has his bandana on too. I love watching these, kids helping dad, videos. so darn precious.. and important learning life skills and making memories.. so wonderful. oh and love the automatic gate opener too =D
This gate will make your life a little easier. Glad you got it installed and working. Thanks for sharing.
Love the ghost controls gate. We have one also and love it
LOOKS GOOD SAM YOU AND YOUR BOYS DID A GREAT JOB ❤
Thank you you made the install so easy for anyone to do
Missed you guys. Glad you all seem good. Nice work on the gate system. 💖💖🎶🎶
A little tip for the grounding rod. Drive it in at least 3ft away from the devices you are grounding. Keeps any arc discharge to ground away from sensitive device
It was great seeing your son helping with the install.
Hi Sam Angela & boys,a neat security system.The boys just make me smile,they are learning a lot.Have a nice week.🌷💕🌷
Aww that was so sweet both boys wanted to help that’s away to teach them to let them help
Great Job guys!!😇
Nice family project
Good luck with it I've had 4 of these gate openers within 3 years nothing but issues I finally got sick of it and spent the money to have a sliding gate with opener and it works amazing
So glad you made this video I have been wanting one but was nervous about installing I think I’ll go ahead and order one thanks guys
So cool!
Granddad said doors and windows just keep the honest people out. Awesome video, as always! Great to see the boys helping and shocked how they have grown!! Handsome, helpful, sweet, polite young men and I know they LOVE the pool! Hope all has an awesomely blessed weekend!
Excellent video, thank you!
Thank you, especially for pointing out the gotcha! Items up front. Love the simplicity of presentation and the priceless tips...
That’s a really good idea. Thanks for sharing 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Your so smart, Sam.😊
Nice. I didn’t realize you all had set post and put a fence around. Coming along nicely.
We just recently finished the HUGE project of installing perimeter fencing around our whole property. We have a whole series of videos coming out soon on that project from start to finish. :)
Nice video,Thanks for sharing.
Great job installing the gate opener

And Sam does it again.

Awesome getting the boys into your projects.
Love watching your videos. It is important letting the boys work with you and enjoy listening how you work with them.

Great video, and you are a great dad!

Awesome gate!!!!!!!
nice job glade to see the boys out there learning how to fix things
Good install
I did one at work and put the latch thing on the other end of the gate just because it's constantly really windy and the latch keeps it from rocking back and forth on the gear stuff inside the opener. So if you're looking for an excuse to "zombie proof" your property there you go
Might need a light near the gate and maybe some reflective tape on the gate! Awesome idea!
We have double solar ghost controlled gates. Be aware they do NOT like electrical thunder storms. Ours will open in really bad storms and have lost tolerance two times. Keep your books and phone the customer service and they will walk you through how to reset your tolerances.
Love mine even with the problems we have had.
Hey guys, I like all the things you install. Gives me ideas❤
Maybe add a little box for extra wires
Locks are to keep honest people honest...
Not true. This is a tired expression that doesn't actually represent reality and spreads a defeatist attitude. Locks are to provide an impediment, to slow down or alter the behavior of someone with ill intentions. Sometimes that leads to complete protection from that person, sometimes it is less effective at it, all depending on the skill and motivation of the attacker. Regardless, that is what a lock is for.
If you truly believed that nonsense about locks, you would not use any lock, ever.
I agree!
Locks are to keep honest people honest, lazy thieves away, and a small obstacle for more determined thieves.
That's what my dad thought. Said a thief would just break a window to get into the house. Then I had to explain to him that if the insurance company found out he didn't lock the doors because a thief would just break a window, the insurance company would do everything they could to get out of paying a claim because he literally did nothing to protect his property.

Great job dad! Without men like this we will not have tradesman in the near future. Teaching our kids to work is the greatest lesson in the new world in my opinion. Thank you
awesone job. and you can install a wireless security camera on the post where the solar panel at. so u can see whos coming up or in
So happy to see you! Been missing your videos! I hope you did ok in the horrible weather that tore thru your area. I was wondering about you. I think you need to build a storm shelter underground if tornados roll thru! / Cool gate gizmo! Love it! Take care! ❤❤❤
Me too!
One thing about Tennessee. It is notorious for night time tornadoes and there is usually very little warning because they’re hard to spot when it’s pitch black out.
Watching that gate open, have you thought about putting a fixed wheel at the end in order to support the overall weight.
So, when are the sheep coming? 🙃
Cool toy!☮️♥️🙏✌️🤜
Very very nice guy's!
I just had the same system installed at my shop and of course they charged me an arm and a leg! But, we do love the system so far!
Nice job guys. Looks like you've been busy fencing in your property. Looks good.
Very cool addition.
Absolutely ❤ the time with your kids, the job is awesome Ty
you show us so much I never new how to do, Thank You so much'
That's a nice gate opener. Do you still plan to put siding on your home? You are fun to watch. God Bless you.
Although we have two ground rods on our electrical box, we still had a lightning strike last month. Scared the buggers out of us, but thankfully no one got hurt except our 10 year old TV.

I just said a prayer the Lord would keep your property invisible to evil! 😊❤❤❤❤🙏
Thanks for this video. It was informational and excellent. Just what we needed.
Love it❤
You folks do the best videos.
Sure have been missing your videos. Was getting a bit worried.
All locks do is keep honest people honest !!!!!! If someone or something wants in , they find a way !!!!!!
Nice!
Great.great Video!!! Thanks from Puerto Rico!
