I have a gutted 5x8 bathroom to put back together. The bottom layer of floor is 1/2" ply which I can't replace because there is no way to re-block edges, etc from the basement underneath (too much stuff in the way).
Anyway, I'm going to go over all of the 1/2 with 5/8 on which the new Sterling tub will set. Then one more layer of something on top of the rest for the finished floor.
The joists have settled enough over time that there is about 1/4" slope across the 1/2". It would be nice to have it level for the tub and stool foundation.
Is there any way to level out the 5/8" as it goes over the 1/2" ?
Ideally, I would shim or sister the joists underneath the 1/2", but that can't happen. Just thought I would ask.
Thanks.
Charlie
