    Ann, It sounds like the hole is too big. Is the budget to small for
    plugging it up and redoing it properly? You can extend the prongs as
    long as necessary and the stone is still going to be to low in the
    mounting. Do it right or pass it up. It will be back to haunt you if
    the stone isn't set right. You'll make more money in the long run if
    you don't compromise on craftsmanship. Will someone second, amen, or
    hear hear that? That my opinion, for what it's worth. With
    solidarity, Kevin
