Great video. Did you glue (ABS) the first piece of the drain adapter into the one that was already in the floor?

[@MooseMultimedia]

The plumber glued the first drain piece to the 2" pipe in the floor. The second piece bolts to the first piece so that the membrane can sandwich between them an create a waterproof drain.

I like that method, did You have to put some rubber membrane under that dry pack? Or drypack directly on plywood

[@MooseMultimedia]

I've never had a problem with leaking, and I've always gone right over the plywood. As long as your cement is thick enough and mesh reinforced so that it doesn't start cracking and shifting, the surface membrane will do the job if installed properly.
