[Shop-talk] Flooring for uneven basement?

[Scott Hall]

It's probably not the answer you want, but I'd empty the basement and do 
it 'right'.  Grand down (or break up) the high spots and use 
self-leveler to do the rest.  That sounds like something that could very 
quickly turn bad if you don't bite the bullet and do it right the first 
time.
