Awesome letting him learn!!! Best way to learn is the trial and error, think we have all been there done that lol. :)

Again I love that daddy. Always encouraging never ugly or short when teaching his sons! ❤

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.

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

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.

So good to see Isaac helping......my goodness he looks a lot like his dad !😊

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!

Makes it easier to get into and leave the property from inside the vehicle. Always a bonus feature.

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! 👏👍✨😍🌞☀

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 ❤️

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..

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.

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.

That is really nice!great to see you! Those feral boys are amazing!

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!

Pretty sweet. Nice gift for the boys 😁

My boss installed that same system about 2 years ago and they love it

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Love the ghost controls gate. We have one also and love it

Some serious-lookin big black clouds coming your way! CHEERS from HERE!!!

Kool gate control. I like the sensor for your visitors to leave. But but that zombie lock must really be something special. LOL

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.

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.

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! ❤❤❤

Watching that gate open, have you thought about putting a fixed wheel at the end in order to support the overall weight.

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

LOOKS GOOD SAM YOU AND YOUR BOYS DID A GREAT JOB ❤

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

Thank you you made the install so easy for anyone to do

Good to see you all again, was getting worried

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.

Missed you guys. Glad you all seem good. Nice work on the gate system. 💖💖🎶🎶

I would remove that ground wire from the circuit board enclosure. It adds potential for lightning damage instead of decreasing. IMO, no ground is needed. My reasoning:> the metal fence is the most likely thing to get struck by lightning . When you installed the ground wire it is in contact with the fence. If you chose to continue to use a ground wire, I think it would be best to remove it from the circuit board enclosure. Inside the battery box connected to negative might be a better place to connect ground (all RVs are like this, negative DC connected to AC ground) To check if this will work properly> disconnect the ground wire. Use a multimeter to check for current flow between the battery negative and ground rod while the gate operator is moving and/or stationary open/closed. If there is no current flow at any time to ground, then the system is grounded as best it can be. Do not do this if there is any current flow to ground, because it will kill the batteries. In any case, remove the bare copper ground wire and replace it with insulated wire that cannot conduct stray current from the fence. Even better, add a conduit to insulate and protect the ground wire where it is attached to the post.

Hi Sam Angela & boys,a neat security system.The boys just make me smile,they are learning a lot.Have a nice week.🌷💕🌷

I thought you were vacationing on the homestead...I guess it feels good working on your own property 😁

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! 😂😍🤗👋👍🙌🌟✨🎉💜💜

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

I bought some small padlocks 🔒 for the pins just keeps it a bit more secure just fyi great job guys

Hi, I think that installing the gate opener was a great idea.

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.

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! 😊

This gate will make your life a little easier. Glad you got it installed and working. Thanks for sharing.

That’s a really good idea. Thanks for sharing 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Oooh !! How cool 😎. A solar powered gate !!! It’s sweet to see Isaac learning new skills 🥰. The boys are getting big now 😳. Great job, Sam ❤️

Excellent video, thank you!

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

It was great seeing your son helping with the install.

wow great idea guys thanks

May the lord bless and protect you and your family

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

Nice video,Thanks for sharing.

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. :)

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

*** 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

Awesome gate!!!!!!!

Very convenient, and it’s nice to see Isaac helping out, too.

Nice family project

Your so smart, Sam.😊

Aww that was so sweet both boys wanted to help that’s away to teach them to let them help

I just said a prayer the Lord would keep your property invisible to evil! 😊❤❤❤❤🙏

Maybe add a little box for extra wires

Awesome getting the boys into your projects.

So, when are the sheep coming? 🙃 Cool toy!☮️♥️🙏✌️🤜

Very very nice guy's!

nice job glade to see the boys out there learning how to fix things

Great job installing the gate opener

Hey guys, I like all the things you install. Gives me ideas❤

Thanks for this video. It was informational and excellent. Just what we needed.

Might need a light near the gate and maybe some reflective tape on the gate! Awesome idea!

Nice to see you all again!

12:03 на провода нужны наконечники, чтоб провод был единым и сечение не нарушалось провода и они не отгорали.

Great.great Video!!! Thanks from Puerto Rico!

If the gate was struck by lighting it now has to go through the control box to ground. It will probably just jump to the ground from the gate anyways. Maybe hook the ground rod to the gate hinge?

And Sam does it again. What a cool device

Easy Turbo lol😂 ,great video bud.

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.

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!

You'll be happy with that system. My gate is about 700 feet from the house and hidden from direct view. We used to have "curious" people just wander up and a more secure gate became a necessity. Had the Mighty Mule systems before but they became very unreliable and needed stop points readjusted way too often. The Ghost system is more expensive but rock solid and very dependable compared to the MM. Luckily we had electricity down near the gate so didn't use the solar option but I'm sure it's reliable. I did add the Zombie Lock. Perhaps we don't live in such an honest area as you do 🙃. That has been a great option. One additional thing I did is to get the lockable pin for the attachment of the arm to the gate, making theft of the expensive system more challenging. Also a padlock on the controller unit too, otherwise someone can easily slip the cover off and open your gate. As you said, it's NOT bad guy proof, but at least helps keep the lazier ones away. It's nice that you have line of sight from your house to the gate and can use a remote to open the gate too if necessary. It's a real pain to walk down the long steep driveway to open the gate for deliveries, etc.

I'm new here. I loved watching them move your trailer. Videos are great.

Absolutely ❤ the time with your kids, the job is awesome Ty

Noice! I need a couple

Electrician here: reason why they didn’t provide a ground terminal is because it’s 12v system. Not enough power to harm anything and a ground rod won’t protect it against lightning strikes you would need a surge protector for that. Good install though

Nice!

you show us so much I never new how to do, Thank You so much'

I’m still watching to keep up the good work I’ve been watching for a long time I’m up here in Maine and you’re down there in Tennessee I was a truck driver for about 50 years and I went to Tennessee a lot of times but now I stay home good luck God bless

Sure have been missing your videos. Was getting a bit worried.

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!

All locks do is keep honest people honest !!!!!! If someone or something wants in , they find a way !!!!!!

That's a nice gate opener. Do you still plan to put siding on your home? You are fun to watch. God Bless you.

Love it❤

That's a fine looking gate, and just in time. You never know when the next Zombie Apocolyps will be. Or the last one for that matter.

Nice job guys. Looks like you've been busy fencing in your property. Looks good.

Rock on and Houston they have a gate opener installed. Nice to see Isaac lend a hand and wait. Did you get rain?

This gate is definitely on my wish list. Love the videos!!!

Hey Sam - ground wouldn’t be required as you are not connected through 120v service or through a low voltage transformer. If you want to earth you unit, your ground lead can tie into the negative battery terminal. That will effectively earth your controller and any other component connected to it sharing the same power supply.
