| A friend just had a Lestor bldg put up but the guys
that did the cement floor didn't do a very good job leveling the floor. He had planned to put down vinyl squares for flooring but now is worried about the uneveness. For examle - where the grooves are, the edges are higher than the rest of the floor. I think the outside corners are a different levels. It doesn't look bad but say when you put up a ladder in different places you can tell. So now he's thinking of some sort of prefabricated system where you put the floor on a foam product so the squares can float. Has anyone had a similar experience they dealt with and had a successful conclusion? Or tried something in a similar situation that they have been unhappy with the results? Thanks, Mary P.S. he's looking for something nice but workshopish and not too expensive. |

| get some self leveling cement and pour it on the floor. it should level it out, as this is what the flooring folks use to even out floors before tiling. |
