FYI ... Broan has been making " through the light " bathroom exhaust fans for many years. Unlike the Comfy Light, they already contain a nearly silent running fan that ventillates extremely well. All you hear from them is a slight air sound. They are a par lamp style with the cone larger than the bulb for the air to pass around. I have led lamps in mine. The fan and light can be controlled separately, so a dimmer or separate switch can be used. They are very well made and fully disassemble after installation so they can be cleaned or serviced. They are also quite cheap to buy. I have two in each bathroom, wired together, one centered over the shower, one centered in front of the toilet. There is zero, ZERO condensation from a steamy shower, no mildew anywhere, and let's be real...no stink ! The towels are always dry and fresh.

Thanks for speaking about ComfyLight! I’m the founder and our light actually also has 360° airflow and down distribution like shown. I’d love to get in touch and give a bit more information on all of the aspects and benefits of this product!

I worked at a house in Anaheim Hills in SoCal that has bamboo doors in the kitchen cabinets with that cool edge detail and noticed it right away. I didn’t know they are bamboo doors until now. Thanks Matt!

One idea if you find yourself with extra product is to call a local "reuse" store. At least in Canada, they will come happily right to the door and pick up the items and they will go to a good home usually for a good cause.

Matt is a clearing house of old and new building principals and practices and I appreciate his videos.

Cool stuff Matt! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 .... Kyle from RR Buildings just used that VaporDry on the roof of his new shop.

Great work! Lights are everything in marketing Please put the lights from belt to neck high so we can see as you do! Opaque stain the table an off white Then we can see

I've heard of bamboo replacements for plywood for decades, and lately I'm hearing about bamboo for mass timber applications like glulam beams and even CLT replacements. It's comparable to hardwoods for strength, but the big win with bamboo is how fast it grows.

I used the silldry about two years ago on a porch enclosure and that gap underneath was an issue requiring spray foam but at the time that was not mentioned in the instructions. They made installation fast though. No issues were reported.

Really love the idea of bamboo play woods. Also very impressed with the windows. Hope to use them in my next build. I heard about the bamboo industry a couple years ago starting up in America, but 40 different varieties of bamboo put them on my property here in San Antonio. So far no luck.

I would love to use Zola windows, some of those awesome electrical boxes, and love the Plyboo. Also the vaper barrier! Thinking of building a barndo and thinking about sound this would be great along with Zola sanctuary windows and rockwool. be able to have family in a great room without being drowned out from noise. The glues look interesting worth a look.

So much cool stuff! Been following some of these products, great vid Matt!

As an electrician I like the idea of the roof goose jack for electrical penetrations. Looks like it would be great for a home. I’m not sure I would be comfortable using it for commercial here in Canada. I know they make some seriously strong plastics nowadays but the plastic seemed just a little bit too thin to deal with the strain that will be put on it by roofers or other trades. Ideally we shouldn’t be using products that last for 25 years but 100+ years. That being said I haven’t seen it in person. Commercial roofs get the life beaten out of them because hvac equipment changes and changing membranes. If they could make a cast metal version or make it out of 10mm plastic.

I doubt any electric utility, American or Canadian, would accept that goose jack weatherhead without another structurally sound mast to guy their wires onto. Also, the tried and true 2-3" rigid conduit mast and metal weather head combo is already perfect.

We're just starting building a small lake house in Maine and will probably use the Timber insulation for the roof and upper floor. (ICF basement and 1st floor)

Love the work boxes. Would so use those

I like seeing all the new products. You don’t know what you don’t know!

love it. great products. Got me dreaming of a home build.

Check local code on radon mitigation. Here a minimum negative pressure value is required, along with a pressure monitor and alarm. Fan system must be on a dedicated circuit and marked so at the receptacle. All gaps/cracks etc in the slab must be sealed, and any sump pits or ejector pits must also be sealed with a cover. System must be inspected and new test completed every three years to remain in compliance. Compliance is voluntary, but if you are contemplating a sale, it will need to be documented.

Yea, you need a better studio, with much better lighting. It was hard to see the products on the table.

Awesome to see you found some LIDAR tools to complement your new 3D build tools! Sweet

Thanks for the product reviews. I’ll have to check out Zola windows - they look quite good. Alpen Windows in Colorado is another domestic source of European-style tilt/turn windows.

Hey Matt long shot here, I would like to learn about my industry and would like to see if you have options for interns or volunteers. Im a small-time contracter looking to grow into new builds, and I think it's important for guys like me to take notes for guys like you. Always more to learn. Take care brother.

If you like plyboo, wait until you see troldtekt, made out of wood fiber and cement, super fire resistant, acoustic dampening, and it comes in all sorts of textures like the plyboo does

I have a vent light in my bathroom that has three brightness's of LED lights, two or three colors of LED night lights and also has a Bluetooth speaker in it. And the wall control switch has a blue LED light that can be used for a minimal night light.

23:22 I am from the Okanagan in BC Canada. I don’t think it will come here because of wildfire. We are getting more and more into non flammable materials like stucco, fiber cement mineral wool metal roofs. Especially for houses built close to “Crown” Land which is the forests. I think it will be harder to get a good insurance price here if you tell the insurer you have wood insulation. Unless that wood fiber has some fire rating in it.

Would you please consider doing a reality show episode on my house and the build show fixing all the problems with my house? Thank you for considering!

@@trickstothetrades1801all insulations are a matter of trade offs- borate is NOT toxic, wood fiber has great hygroscopic buffering capacity, has been sued successfully i. Europe for decades. Compared to cellulose, doesn’t settle, less dusty, and more resilient if if it does get wet. Compared to rockwool, cheaper, better to breathe. Compared to fiberglass, better to breathe.

@@johnwhite2576 as long as you can guarantee a 100% waterproof building envelope, I'll agree. Given that we know that's not possible, as it's only a matter of time before all envelops fail, windows leak, etc. I'll stick with foam board and concrete. An ICF envelop will last 100 years even with typical human errors.

I have yet to hear a real review of Timber HP from a cost perspective. How does it compare to cellulose for a dense pack scenario? How do the batts compare to fiberglass and mineral wool? How will the board compare to the various foam panel options? Obviously, from an environmental perspective, it sounds great. Seems like it should be pest, fire, and water resistant, but so are a lot of the other products, which means it will come down to cost for most jobs. An honest look at this would be appreciated by the community but so far all of the podcasts and KZread spots have avoided the subject. I suspect it isn’t competitive yet or they would have trumpeted that. But how much of a premium are we talking about???

That dryer vent isnt to code. You cant have the screen obstruction.

My first thought as well. Both the UMC and IMC model codes do not allow screened dryer vents. The use of plastic is also improper. Should be 26 ga metal minimum. Again, it you are in an area adopting the UMC or IMC - which is most of the US>

I work from home and unfortunately it is my bedroom which is right off the kitchen. I wanted put a type of finish like that on the wall that faces the kitchen to deaden the sound.

Radon threshold is 4 Picocuries per liter, I have used the PVC4 several times, its standard on my builds. it doesnt meet the Wisconsin Radon Code for mitigation systems, however, it is a viable option for DIY and for preventative maintenance.

Wait, the US doesn't have bathroom light/vent combos? We've had them at least 30 years that I'm aware of in Australia. The good ones are a big square with a standard light in the middle, four heat lamps around it, and the vent grille filling the rest of the space. The heat lamps are really nice when you step out of the shower and the vent has been sucking all the steam and hot air out of the room.

Matt! Hemp insulation is best thing ever for environment. Why! Glad u ask first trees or rocks take huge equipment million dollar machines tons of fuel because these machines drink it like 2 miles per gallon. Then earth doesn’t make no more rocks and trees take 20 years to grow. Hemp can be regrown every 90 days and grown all over every state so there doesn’t need to be long shipping. And humans can take hemp down so equipment can be very small that handles moving it around once cut down. Then hemp is one of the strongest materials on earth also. If y’all really care about cost effectiveness and the environment and what’s best there shouldn’t be no argument over you Matt and everyone else doing what you’re doing getting behind hemp 1000% If not you put your pants 👖 on just like me one leg at a time so calling it like it is.
