Thanks for the comments!!

After much debate, and also discussion with Neil from Adelaide, I decided to beef up my floor and put a layer of 1 inch splits under the 2 inch tiles(that I had took so much time to level and get just right)! It may take a bit longer to heat up, but I'm lucky to have plentiful supplies of good redgum at my back door.

Anyway the project is back happening again when I get time.

The tapered bricks are good to lay - I think it must be easier than shimming straight bricks.

some pics attached, more to come.

All the best, Andrew
