Default Re: insulation board over vermicrete

Not that this is a normal way to do it, I used regular mortar to install my insulation board over the concrete. I didn't feel it would move in the future but had a concern during construction, also my board came 12" x 12".
I used a wet fireclay/sand mixture to place my firebrick floor, but with our winter winds that dried our to fast. When I was mortaring down my first soldier row I didn't notice that I readjusted the floor slightly, so I have a couple of gaps I'll fill with with the dust from sanding the floor down. If I had to do it again I would use a little refractory mortar to place the floor.
for what it is worth
