Floating cement come in play but cement guy said do not want go with 3/4-0 so I throw in 1/2" and 1/4 playwood. How you solve this problem? Just cement where 3/4 stop or playwood to. I call this sh one of most difficult job that I did ever.

 

i'm torn.......do i go to work today???? or do I just go downstairs and make some popcorn????

 

that picture is disturbing and intriguing. what's going on under that old floor with the framing that pushed the entire right side of that room down. is the left side of the room is an external wall.

sometimes I wonder if tipi is a bored computer nerd that makes up stuff to mess with
us...

 

Left side is external wall right side sit at central beam that go all across basement. I build some walls in basement to support central beam too. It all pass inspection. Inspector was down a couple time. To be honest picture is disturbing for me to. Imagine see it in live. And lowest and highest point of floor in entire house is difference around 5,5". I sow and dill with much worse than it.
I should send somewhere picture of this like modern art.

 

At first I thought that you were going to tile the floor to match the profile of the underlayment. I was looking forward to seeing the end result.

 

^^^ I guess only very high end homes would have such tailing. What would it be called like. I guess ornamental tailing.

 

What makes you think that wont continue to fall? Building a wall under a beam on top of a n old concrete slab is not the answer. 5 1/2" difference is something that needed addressed by an engineer.

 

^^^ Actually someone add a couple of steel posts and concrete footing below it ato some point in not so distant past. It is good call but posts are there. I have some experience with it as my main customer all what he do is taking a old house and lift it with beams&posts&concrete footings in basement. Than I run in with my strips at floor walls and ceilings and trim.

 

Looks like a topo map. Just got to get the drainage figured out for the cock roach spray.:thumbsup:

 

There will be cement over 1/2" and 1/4" playwood. Flooring guy tell me to install that two playwood. And here is MN, we do not have cachroaches. And 101 time I worked for 5 years for 3 high end companies. I know how good I'm. Small town guy - call finally Choice wood company and ask for Chris Jordan and ask him if I'm good carpenter or not. He is coowner of company and superviser.

 

You missed a spot!

That gap is where I stop with 3/4 playwood and switch to 1/2. What you want to proof with that? In that gap concrete will go. So I'm instructed by flooring guy. He didn't want 3/4 thick concrete. So level sit at left edge of 1/2 playwood and 1/4 playwood. Btw I do this 20 years, have nothing to proof. Instead of going from 3/4 to 0 concrete will go 3X 1/4 to 0. Again do not understand what you want proof. Show a couple pictures of level floor and you find brag about photo where concrete will go.

 

Is tile going over that? If so, it will fail.

 

"Small town guy" is it yours carier problem. Tings will pickup for you. You give to that carpentry staff good time but it is over. I heard big about Bloomingdale executive program. It is new wave.

 

Small town guy can you just GFO of my treads. Simple I do not want hear from you. To mods I do not make problem here. This idiot is harasing me.
Just GFO. I think that you are rude, primitive and of low inteligence. Do not want have nothing with you.

 

Block him then.

 

Well concrete guy show up and I had to tear that, so hard to build, playwood. He claim, for opposite to flooring guy, that mortar can go to 2" thickness. At last is not my fault. Funny flooring guy get fired buy his company unrelated to this sh. I remember that I said to owner a couple times to check with concrete guy if that playwood is needed. Live and learn.

Somehow I forget to put picture of thing that flooring guy set at floor. It have some gluing capability and is mandatory in new concrete floor condos, so he said.

 

...

 

A few years latter little different situation. Customer has ridge in floor 3" or so high and want me slope floor to existing floor. I used level and set mark for slope. Worked like champ. In first photo you can see chalk line sitting at top of block than extended to top of finish floor just to give me ide what slop I look for. Them put mark at level for bubble where it should be. Worked fairly well. Any way quite tricky stuff not for diy.

 

Now that plastic mass should go from 3/4 of playwood to zero approximately where is edge of that wall in 3. photo. Then should cut out existing floor for 2' and keep slopping with mass till top of new floor match top of existing floor. Was for a while tough to slope in 2 directions, one existing and one to wall to right but I remember that someone say would chase me with rocks for that topographic playwood (#134) so I rather didn't overkill this time.
