Question about the floor

12 years ago

You had mentioned that the height varied from 6-7' (approx.), which I thought might be due to the floor. Did you need to level it out and were there drains in the floor at all and what did you do to minimize the downward slope there?

We did not level the floor. We left the current slopes because of cost and they weren't dramatic enough to become an issue. There were two existing drains. One of which we removed based on its location at bar area. The condensate line which drained to this location was connected into the new plumbing for the bar sink.

Overall dimensions of the basement? How about the bar area - like from the back wall to the outer edge of the bar. I love the corrugated tin walls and the ceiling.
