I just installed a slate floor and now I getting ready to install the pedistal sink and toilet on them. The slate tiles are not all level so the sink and toilet rock quite a bit. Can I mark off their footprint on the floor and lay a small level thinset pad that I can can later set the pedistal on to nake it nice and level ?

Hi, I am very new in home improvement, and I am very confused. I am installing tiles in our half-bath, and I need to raise up the floor to the height of toilet ring. I just put down self-leveling compound on the concrete floor because it wasn't flat or leveled. It is still like an inch short from the toilet ring. I am thinking about installing backerboard to raise up the floor, but a lot of people said that I shouldn't do that because cement floor can't be secured on cement. My question is, what if I use thinset or things like that? My half-bath is only 6'x5'. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks, the1stnail
