Great.

I'd still would not put plastic down, you want your mortar directly on the slab.

Yeh, I meant, like look 171 said, "a crack isolating sheet", just over the saw cuts.

Also, tab each piece with a rubber mallet as you set it...

I'll have one of those on hand and a long level. Do I have to spread any moter on the slab under the buttered stone before I set it into place?

Thank ya'll for all the tips.
