Episode Description

Are you a techie? I need your help today…what’s the best router for a house that has multiple computers, smartphones, a home automation system, and Nest Thermostat?

Send your answer to [email protected]

This is a question I’d love to answer on the show because I bet other people are having the same problem.

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

He’s installing cement board and applying RedGard to it.

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

PLUS: we discuss the best way to use home automation if you’re a busy person.

Personally I love SmartThings and the Nest Thermostat.

The Nest allows me to adjust the temperature of our home while we’re away.

SmartThings allows me to monitor our home from my phone.

I get into all the details today.
