Installing Shiplap And Floor Self Leveler - INSANE Backyard Pt 10
What happens here
Set up a laser level to determine the highest and lowest points of the floor. This step is crucial for understanding the floor's current unevenness and planning the self-leveling application strategy. For example, a laser line can be set at a specific height (e.g., 60 inches from the floor) and measurements taken around the room. Mark these measurements directly on the floor or walls to guide where more or less compound will be needed. This preparation ensures that the self-leveling compound is poured starting from the lowest areas, allowing it to naturally fill to the desired elevation.
Goal: Identify and mark the floor's elevation variations to plan self-leveling.
