Schluter Ditra all day long! Screwing down backer boards will eat up another 1000+ screws.
Did you screw all of the 2000 screws using your Dewalt? :yikes: You my man are very patient if you did.... (and probably sick of screws by now!). Autofeed screwdrivers are a mans best friend (and your back, knees, sanity etc etc :lol: )
almost bought an autofeed for this job, its the only tool i dont own, i have a drywall gun but not autofeed,
by the time i got home and unloaded the ply wood i couldnt help myself and started screwing with the dewalt, thats my home drill poor bugger was burning hot by time i got done, almost 1 box of 75mm for the joists and 1.5 boxes of shorter for screwing to the boards, joists are 18" apart give or take an inch but i still added an extra row so there was a screw every 150mm , hope that all makes sense had a few to many corona's tonight,
since i have screwed up so to speak with the boarding im thinking of going back to my original idea of real solid dark brushed carmel oak wood,
im not shy of hard work didnt mind the screwing by hand but boy was my back taking a beating:lol:
