Default Granite in fireplace

Please note that I was planning to go with 1.25" granite and that I
would like for it to be sitting above the hardwood and show a rough
edge. So I need to build the wet bed up to the level of the floor.

How come nobody liked my self leveling compound idea?


IMO, you need to set the granite into a mortor bed if you want it to last. Not
just set it on top of a bed of "flat" leveling compound.
