Sooo the wet circular saw on slab. Ive typically key cut like 1.5" relief on perimeter using makita with shop vac and plastic off room. Im curious on what looks like a well ventilated remodel this wasnt used. To avoid the slurry in drain and having to flush trap. Genuinely curious. Not hate love all of the content guys. Ive been down here in florida for 15 years doing tile and kitchen bath remodels and always looking for more info and to improve. I just know that on many jobs any kind outside mess is a huge no no! Most of the snowbirds in FL really strive to make there lawn like Delaware and you cant even toss out your water bucket outside. Let alone flush a trap. I do like the idea of a hose to spray out drain over the full respirator mask plastic and negative. Theres no issues down stream like with exterior washout??

Others are using plastic liner or paint-on water barrier -- perhaps standard practice where installing in framed floors / over finished space? Obviously, synthetic moisture barriers didn't always exist, and on a slab-on-grade floor, what's the worst-case, anyway? Tile failure > a gallon a day leaches into slab, maybe makes it through to dirt below? Erosion over time? Frost heave? My situation is a basement in a row house, so I'm not worried about frost heave. Seems like moisture barriers can also cause problems. Would love to have your thoughts.

Great video! I haven't seen anything building related that you haven't mastered. One tip: When driving screws into the plywood backing through the stud, I'd drill a clearance hole in the 2X4 so you're not threading into it. This saves energy, and eliminates the possibility of a trapped space between the plywood and the 2X4 caused by the threads holding them apart. Otherwise, you're basically stripping the threads in the 2X4 to cause the plywood to pull up against it. May as well start with that.
