| I used a plastic waterpipe piece to make a tube in the perlcrete layer. One at the top and one at the bottom of the insulation layer. Then I can install and/or remove thermocouple probes as needed! A little vaseline on the tube, then rotate it while the perlcrete is curing. For the top tube I covered it with a little more cement based perlcrete and will level that surface with the fireclay/sand mix before the hearth bricks are placed.

| It baffles the mind that it would have ever paid to scorp out the back of the step like that. Mind you, this was before sintered diamond saws, and that was a lot of cutting. Great piece.

| I dunno...it was heavy! Took two people to unload it off the back of the pickup and position it in place. I can lift one side at a time to set it where I need it and shim it up to the same level as the new floor.

| I mixed a bag of fine sand with a bag of clay and dumped it on the insulating layer. This was used to give some more thermal mass and level the hearth for firebricks. I used the dry method and it worked well (so far!)
