I'm installing a Americast "Princeton" bathtub from Lowe's in my 1939 house.
In attempting to put up my ledger board for my tub today it instructed me to install the board off the floor 13 5/8" on each stud. Once I had done that I threw my 4 foot level on it and my floor must be a little out of wack. I'm about a 1/4" higher in the back (away from the drain) side of the bathtub.
So what is my best course of action?
1.) Leave it how it is, and make sure it is level side to side, I'll just have a little more pitch to the tub.
2.) Raise the front of the tub a bit and lower the back to achieve level.
3.) Figure out how to level the floor.... will not be easy.
Thanks in advance

PS - not sure if it makes any difference but I will be installing ceramic tile floor and surround, with knowledge courtesy of the guys at John Bridge.com!
