I find this forum helpful so I hope I can get some help with this problem... I am finishing a basement in a 60 year old house. I have a very uneven floor and it slopes what seems like about 2 inches or so from highest point to lowest across the basement. I am putting up partition walls and the finished area will be sandwiched in between an area of about 8 feet on both outer walls to accommodate storage, utilities, sump. etc...To explain it better.. if you were looking at the house from the front you would see from left to right, foundation, 8 foot area then a wall, then 17 foot area then another wall and another 8 foot area and then foundation. I hope that makes sense.
My idea was to put down the floor plates and pour self leveler and have it contained by the floor plates but the concrete is so wavy that the plates don't sit flat.
My Dad's advice is to move. I rope him into all these projects that seem easy at first and they never are.
Any advice is much appreciated...
