I'm redoing my hearth, and it is partially built on a block foundation that the chimney sits on, and partially built on a wooden subfloor. Where it transitioned the tile popped off the first time. The original builder nailed wire lathe to the subfloor, then a 2 inch layer of thickset that extended onto the block foundation. The original builder only had a 3 inch extension onto the subfloor, but I am going to make it 8" in order to reach the clearances I need. I am worried about it cracking again. I have Micore 300, and whatever home depot sells to make this work. Any ideas?
