Will we have any issues with this project???

[@ChristopherKnN]

Those guys did really good work. It was better quality and more professional than a lot of work you see in the States.

[@buildingthephilippines]

They definitely worked hard. Sun was real hot both days. Works really good.

[@Ray_Warren]

Good to see Sandy up in the yard. VERY SWEET DOG!

[@buildingthephilippines]

She sneaks in once in a while.

[@jerrymarshall2728]

This gate opener is going to make life a lot more convenient for you guys! No more standing in the rain to open the gate! 🌧 And now you can open the gate from the comfort of your house. 👍

[@buildingthephilippines]

Definitely more convenient, glad it's finally installed. Another project off the list.

[@ejeyprejoles2187]

Glad to see Sandy again.

[@buildingthephilippines]

She's doing good.

[@spudsudz]

What a nice upgrade with the gate opener... Greg and Wilma ongoing tweaks make home ownership the gift that keeps on giving... 🎉🎉🎉

[@buildingthephilippines]

Tweak here and a tweak there. Thanks for watching.

[@WolfgangRohm]

Nice job. Also nice to see Sandy snacking on Prince's food🍲. It looks like she was in a hurry finish that bowl. 😂

[@buildingthephilippines]

She only ate half of it and then took a nap.

[@kaini30]

Wow Greg i hope you tipped those guys. Very professional , You were anxious at first as it was there only second gate install. From my 44 years in construction these guys deserve a good shoutout!!! Very professional and they went above and beyond the scope of work to meet your expectations. I watched your video closely and i wish they were in Canada to do my gate installs. I really appreciate you gave those guys a chance , it really compliments your character. That's why i watch your vlogs !! thank you !

[@buildingthephilippines]

Hopefully, they will pick up some well deserved business from the video. Contact info in the description box for everyone.

[@smellard63]

That’s so funny. “They showed up right on time”. Being on time is now measured in days. I think that joke was under the radar.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Lol, yup. Filipino time.

[@lmcc0072]

Another informative and relevant video. You guys might not be getting arrested in every country that you visit in your videos or show a lot of skin 😂, but your videos are useful to those of us that plan to move there without rose colored glasses on. Not only do you discuss problems that occur, (brownouts, water issues, skin tax, scams, supply issues, visa issues, etc…) but what your fix was. Some vloggers don’t mention any of the negative things to attract and keep viewers. I appreciate your honest take, with both good and bad.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you for the comment. There's positive and challenges everywhere in the world. Appreciate it.

[@smartbiz888]

Great result! Yep another project completed! Did you have to pay extra for the work order changes? 👍😎👍

[@buildingthephilippines]

They just did it themselves. However, we gave them 1000 pesos for building that little wall.

[@duanebock840]

Looks great, they deserve a good tip for all extras they did, very professional crew

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, we took care of them. They were very happy with the extra we gave them.

[@paulchesney1798]

Very,very nice, you guys have your own Beverly Hills going! Very Classy! When are you putting in a guard shack?...lol...lol

[@buildingthephilippines]

@paulchesney1798 Hi Paul, appreciate the comment. No shacks!!!

[@PATRICKMCKILLIP]

Your gate looks and operates very well, congratulations. I've booked my next visit, arriving just before Thanksgiving until later January; my Birthday, Christmas and New Year's with Lilia in Dumaguete. We hope to see you again then.

[@buildingthephilippines]

@@PATRICKMCKILLIP travel safe and look us up once settled in.

[@rosemariealmero1214]

🎉yay 🎊your automated gate is on!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@buildingthephilippines]

Long overdue. Thanks for watching.

[@jsully4064]

Awesome job. Thanks, Wilma and Greg...Jim

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Jim.

[@rorybellamy2533]

very cool project, looks like very capable guys they wear shoes on their feet ! And a good unit. will be interested to see the time per cycle to open or close. I remember how glad i was to finally get a garage door opener , makes getting in and out of the garage and car so easy ! Can a Flood light be added to the process ON Off with the gate? That is the Best Greg ! 18 seconds !

[@buildingthephilippines]

I added a 2nd solar light on the opposite column. Lites the area pretty nice, all night. 20

[@gwenosterhoudt6309]

They did a great job and cleanup your good to go !!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Finally got installed. We talked about it for a long time.

[@tonyste12]

Greg, it looks like they did an excellent job and deserve every penny plus tip. which I a sure you gave them.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, we definitely took care of them. They were very happy with the recognition in pesos.

[@tonyste12]

@@buildingthephilippines :)

[@RobertsIslandLivingAdventures]

That’s a great upgrade. I’ve always wanted one.

[@buildingthephilippines]

@RobertsIslandLivingAdventures I should have had one installed with the build. Saved a lot of money by doing it myself though. I will do a video on that.

[@joedavis2066]

Yalza guys, looks great. I will use them for my gate .

[@buildingthephilippines]

They did a good job, really thorough.

[@garykelder]

Wow Greg! It didn’t take that long before your next project. 😂 I like this idea.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Much easier than getting out of the truck or going down the driveway to open the gate.

[@garykelder]

@@buildingthephilippinesAbsolutely 🎉

[@retiredcryptohunter9031]

The rust on the gate and columns could be coming from the tops of the columns and could be rusting rebar and is rusty water that is running off or splashing in the rain.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Good point, I will check that out. Thanks

[@mpnsfilipinoretirement]

Congratulations of the gate project….. that’s right up there with solar in my book. Just following you, I know the grass/weeds in your rocks drives you crazy, I finally found a weed killer at ACE that works really good ( I mix it a little strong )I can get name if interested. Take care.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, get me the name. No ace around here, but maybe can find somewhere else.

[@mpnsfilipinoretirement]

Hey Greg, the name of the product is KLEAR WEED 480SL. It comes in a liter container. I put in 1/2 liter and mix with water in my 2 liter sprayer. Works great. I’m still using my first batch for maintenance every few weeks. I think it was around 750 peso. I got it at ACE at Clark SM Mall.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you, I will look for it Dumaguete. Appreciate the tip.

[@mpnsfilipinoretirement]

Correction: I have a 3 liter sprayer. So 1/2 liter killer and 2.5 liters water. Enjoy

[@buildingthephilippines]

@@mpnsfilipinoretirement ok got it

[@LoganJoannesRollerCoaster]

That looks great! Question: what are the big red bushes along the driveway? They’re gorgeous.

[@buildingthephilippines]

@LoganJoannesRollerCoaster not sure, we bought them in Valencia. They grew quite fast.

[@JMgmkh]

Fantastic job ! Prince or Sandy....Who's REALLY the guard dog there ? 😂

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks, 50/50 I think. Lol.

[@sumostorms]

Excellent job and greatly documented 👍 just one question: does it mean you no longer have to physically lock 🔒 the gate and the motor is strong enough by itself to prevent someone to push / pull the gate open manually?

[@buildingthephilippines]

I have 2 types of devices to keep the gate from being able to be lifted off the gear. I will show on a future video.

[@jakeramos6006]

Thank you for this video. i am also planning on doing a remote sliding gate. Where did you buy the machine for the gate and what brand. This Video really helps.

[@buildingthephilippines]

@jakeramos6006 there's only one brand on shopee or lazada. I bought the 300 watt, larger then what I needed. Make sure you have enough track. It comes with 4 meters. Buy extra remotes too.

[@Chickenlegs836]

HI 👋 U2! YOU KNOW WATCHING ALL THESE PROJECTS YOUR TACKLING I THINK I MIGHT NEED A VACATION 😂😂😂. 3” DRAIN HOLE BETTER👍. SMALL ONE CAN GET CLOGGED UP VERY EASY . My 2 CENTS:)BLESSINGS 🙏🌸🌺🌼

[@buildingthephilippines]

Vacation sounds good. Yes, 3 inch is best. Thanks for watching.

[@michaeljefferson4338]

Nice job, any chance you have the instructions that game with the motor as I lost mine.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, I kept the instructions.

[@donaldtork5846]

If you lose power, can you open/close the gate manually?

[@buildingthephilippines]

@donaldtork5846 Yes, you can, but we have solar.

[@jedidazed3390]

Angels trumpet or kachubong. If you boil the flowers in water, you get yourself a psychedelic drink 😂 Dont try it though, unless thats your thing 😂

[@buildingthephilippines]

@jedidazed3390 lol, no I wont try it. I new trumpet was in the name. Thanks for clarification.

[@Ray_Warren]

Time to get some ALEXA action going with that WiFi.

[@buildingthephilippines]

I have one here, but turned it off. Conspiracy theories.
