Hey Guys,
Me and my Father are do it yourselfers. We've pretty much started every project one can in a household but have yet to finish more than a handfull, usually because we end up hitting a snag. So here is one of them:
We are trying to level our basement floor (the gradient that is supposed to guide the water to the basement drain pipe) and we aren't having much luck. We are using 'self leveling' cement but we have found that it doesn't level itself particularly nicely and I was wondering what you guys would reccomend in terms of leveling off the floor?
The purpose of this of course is to be able to put down a level floor directly on top of the concrete (like a comercial carpeting) and avoid laying down a sub floor; which would rob us of a few inches which would mean I would smack my head off the ceiling down there (I am a tall guy and it is a low ceiling).
Suggestions?
