Good, I'm glad I am not being overly picky.
The Hollow sound with the flagstone coping appears to be from the stone splitting in a horizontal plane, meaning I'll end up with two pieces the same size, but 1/2 the thickness. Most only sound hollow in one corner.
The good news, I'm down to 5 tiles or less that need to be replace, 1-2 dozen pin holes, 1/2 dozen areas of mortar that need replacing and maybe 2 flagstone hollow sounds.
OK, wash flagstone before installation. Is it OK (or better for that matter)for it to still be wet/damp when the grout is installed?
Last question: How much tool mark would you find acceptable? Some of the flagstone sides are nearly smooth, some show a little round saw cut and some show deep grooves.
