Unimaginable. The very thought of my worse enemy spending eternity in just this situation is repulsive . Out of gods presence is absolutely th worst torment anyone can begin to imagine.

Not saying adding thinset to the bottom of the Cement Board is wrong however I put mine down ONLY with Cement Board approved screws every ~8 inches. This way If I ever need/want to remove the tile/cement board, while it will be work and messy, it will be easier to cut the screws vs. having to also contend with removing both the thinset and screws. My tile has been down for 4 years and no cracks or movement whatsoever. Just my two cents.
I have a question? I'm a home designer/builder and have never mortared the backer board down, just screwed with manufacturers screws. If you can't place the thin set directly on plywood for tiles alone why would you do it for plywood? Defeating the purpose? I might understand it more if a remodel but still the possibility of mold is a concern. I think he's solid on his technique but I question the wet thinset directly on plywood. I understand the exp/contraction/flex of the plywood and would never install tiles directly on wood floors just looking to possibly learn something new.
i can appreciate all the hard work you do but suggest taking a trip to europe at some point after all this shit with covid i’d finally over snd go see how the houses are built and the tiles they install. it’s a completely different world when it comes to houses snd tile. long story short, the houses are rigid and solid, the tiles can be one big slab if desired. you can install 36” X 36” tile if you want and not worry about it cracking.
For everyone on here criticizing this guy on going Overkill with the thinset and screws, that is the recommended installation practice for all cement boards. Manufacturers specify this for a reason. They also specify the screwing schedule. He is following this to a T. A tile guy I know disagreed with me on this and has been installing cement board with absolutely no thinset underneath or would use construction adhesive. He mostly followed the screwing schedule but that didn't help him. he have been getting one call back after the other with tiles popping up at customers houses. Meanwhile the other tile guy I know who follows everything that this guy did in the video hasn't had one call back. Go figure.
I used good old fashion tar paper then the backer board went onto top of it. Applied my thin set and tile. Haven't had a problem in 6 years. Floor still looks good.
I,d hate to be the sap that replaces this, it’s not going to be here forever , once you thinset this down, the subfloor is ruined, cement board or any sheet goods will ever be as good as wire lath and mud.
I know he's a professional and probably has a reason. But why an earth do you need to adhere it AND put screw every 3 to 6 inches. That just seems way over kill. It's literally laying on the floor and going to have heavy tiles on top of it. Why wouldn't you just put a screw in each corner and maybe one in the center? If the whole floor is covered the boards next to the walls are going to help keep the others in place even if they do move. Plus, like I said it's going to be under about 20lbs of tiles...
You obviously get lots of call backs. Unless you have 2x12 joists 16 oc and 3/4 Plywood...even then good luck. We do renovations on 2x8 joist 22 OC with sub floor then additional 3/4 ply then thin set with hardi 1/4 then tile. and our floors look new after 25 years. Good luck to you!
