Hi Dan,

Couldn't you place a self-levelling concrete mix on the floor to level it 
out?

I've heard it works pretty well.

I tell you this, if it's out there he'll find it without a doubt.

  Ray,

  Now that you have given me the knowledge to to a dropped ceiling in my 
  basement, how about digging up some information on raised floor systems?

  If I am ever to finish my basement, I have to do something about the 
  floor. It slopes too steeply toward the center to place furniture down 
  there. I thought that maybe a raised floor system like you see in 
  computer rooms could work to help level the floor and still give access 
  under the floor if necessary. The flooring system would have to be 
  adjustable so that I could compensate for the varying slope of the floor.

  Thanks.

Ray, you're such a slacker.  *GRIN*

No worries.  When you get to it, you get to it.  I've done some poking 
around, have found a lot of stuff, but nothing that looks really promising 
at the moment.

OK let me get this correct.  You are going to put a dropped ceiling and a 
raised floor in a basement?  May i ask what is the height from the heighest 
point of the floor to the bottom of the upper floor joist?  I barely have seven 
foot in my house.  What are you expecting for a finished ceiling height?  Yes I 
barely have six foot doors under the center where the duct work hangs down and 
i am five eight and add cowboy hats i varely clear.  Maybe you were a lucky one 
with a rough nine foot space.

ron,

Near the walls of the basement, to the floor joists is well over 7 feet, 
close to eight feet as I can just barely touch the joists standing on tip 
toe.  From the center of the room to the floor joists is nearly nine feet.

Hi Dan
Not today I have too much work to do here but I will look around during
the week if they leave me alone for long enough.
I think they have a hide asking me to do work here when I would rather
do work for the Blind Handy Man List.
Catch you later.
 
Regards
Ray
