Title: concrete basement floor level
Post by: MikeT on July 18, 2007, 06:53:20 PM
I am preparing to pour a slab in my basment, but I am not sure if I should plan on having the floor height end right at the bottom of the PT mudsill or at the top.  Here is a picture to illustrate (I think) what I am asking about.

As always, thanks for your thoughts.

Seems that at the bottom, it would leave you room to nail your sheetrock or other interior wall board.

I agree with Glenn , I know what a shocker  ;D, If thats a door on the left of the photo you'd want the floors even, in fact a 1/2" below wouldn't be a bad idea either if water could be present on that slab. Hard to tell whats all going on from the photo.

Wow - I'm gonna run and put a chalk mark up on the wall for that one.  Lets see - How do I make a 2 in Roman numerals. :-? ;D
