So this is hardly a DIY message board, but I figure there's enough people on here - there's bound to be an answer somewhere.
I am finishing my basement. I have broken up the floor, installed piping for a bathroom, and have poured in concrete to seal it back up. (Worked well, although it's a few mm higher in areas than the rest of the floor.
Anyway, this piping occured just outside the bathroom door, and intrudes in right to the toilet. My shoddy concreting problem aside, the whole damn floor is most certainly not flat right from construction. I put my vanity in there, which has a straight bottom, and there are two or three places there are obvious gaps. Nice pouring job homos. At least I don't *claim* to be a professional.
Anyway - due to the "rolling floor" and the repaired piping concrete area, I need to level this out so I can install tile. It doesn't have to be perfect, but at least not noticable. If you feel a dip while you're walking, that'd be pretty lame.
I hear there are self-levelling compounds out there. Are these pretty much idiot-proof? I don't want to spend 40-50 bux a bag to discover I have no clue what I'm doing. Anyone know any tricks to installing it?
Any further suggestions?
