Very clever approach. But my big concern is that the floor is not level to begin with. If it's because the wood flooring was laid poorly, then fine. However, if it's because the floor structure itself is bowing down due to the weight, then I would be very concerned. Hope it's just a cosmetic deficiency and not structural defect.
- pingswept 17y agoFrom what I can tell (I'm the owner of the house), the first 6 feet of the floor were built slanted. A friend of mine with some contracting expertise has suggested that the room was likely a porch that was later closed in; such a slant would be typical for an exterior floor to shed rain. The flooring also changes slightly in how it's nailed down around the 6 foot mark, suggesting that the underlayment might change there too.
