In the since-demolished monster house, the floor of the Burger King addition was higher than the floor of the old part of the house, so former owner Gene tried (unsuccessfully) to make everything level using his Portland cement technique. In the new house, the floor over the garage was quite a bit lower than the floor over the basement, so the crew spent most of today evening things out.
This elminates the need for a step down from the foyer to the living room, which would have put a kink in my plans to roller skate in the house. As a bonus, we’ll have a fairly thick layer of insulation between the garage ceiling and the living room floor. Briar will appreciate that.
