BUILDING ON SOLAR POWER TO THE MODERN GATE ON OUR 8 ACRE OFF GRID PROPERTY!

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!! ❤️

I'm totally using "Today's been a great week!" The fence looks awesome. Thanks for the laughs and have a lovely wedding!

❤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!

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. "

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.

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.

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🤣.

The extra line in the conduit could be used for wiring for 2 Coach Lights on the outside !

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

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. :goat-turquoise-white-horns:🐔🐔🐔

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.

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.

Where are you two? No video second week.....worried about your safety.

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.

Hola Muchachos los tengo que felicitar. Ustedes estan haciendo una excelente labor en su propiedad. Todo va a quedar hermoso. Dios los bendiga.

@Mat, consider adding at least one more hinge to each gate. it will distribute the weight more evenly.

In another world and time, I would also do the plank fence. In my world, it would be stolen. So double row brick wall for me!!!!

I would mount diagonal cables on inside of gates with turn buckles to prevent sagging ( just a thought)

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

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!!❤
