Also, today we answer the vapor barrier question that Ryan had.

\\n

He\\u2019s installing cement board and applying RedGard to it.

\\n

As usual, Custom Building Products got me an answer and we discuss that in today\\u2019s show.

Personally I love SmartThings and the Nest Thermostat.

\\n

The Nest allows me to adjust the temperature of our home while we\\u2019re away.

\\n

SmartThings allows me to monitor our home from my phone.

\\n

I get into all the details today.
