Whats the groups considered thoughts. At the entrance to the house I have reinstated a door between the foyer and hall to make the house warmer but have issues.
I have just hung a door and after a few problems with the builder erected door frame being off vertical, when the door is shut it fits the hole very nicely with an even 5mm gap across the bottom ready for the vinyl. However when I open the door it sticks on the floor. After having a look the floor of screeded concrete which to the eye looks okay it is infact quite lumpy and has 5 mm hillocks across it.
What is the best way around this. Take another 5mm of the door at the end away from the hinge so that it clears the floor but has an almighty gap underneath when the door is closed.
Use some self smoothing concrete to bring the floor level up to the top of the hillocks and then continue into the hall some way so that there is not a noticeable ramp.
Do something, possibly obsessive, to make this barrett box have a level floor ie get rid of the bumps using grinding, sanding or some other method. My perfectionist side tends to the latter solution but I realise my family could well have words. Is there a machine/tool that can be used to effectively plane or sand down concrete that is not too expensive to hire and would it be a sensible course of action.
Cheers
