That looks like a fun weapon. Can't be any worse than the concrete grinder I rented over summer.

How about this - short of trying to fix the cork, what options do I have for flooring? We've already caved and are going to do carpet in one of the rooms, but looking for a "flat" option for the the other area.

I just measured one of the dips - this is from edge to edge - 34" wide, 60" long and 1/4" depth at worst. Just so we're clear, this is in my own house, not a customer. I'm with you, I will do some goofy things in my house that I'm willing to risk having to correct later.

The fun part is that its a dip in the center of the room rather than a hump. In my mind, thats sanding down 4ft x 15ft area, on both sides of the dip. Then similar area down the center of the adjacent room. The cork is 1/2" sheets that are firmly glued down. It would be a tremendous amount of...

If i'm picturing this correctly, I would be "hand-sanding" with the board ?

I like your thoughts on flat vs level. I guess that's a possible option. I'm at about 3/8" over 4ft - just in the center of the room

Background: i had previously glued down 1/2" cork to concrete basement floor. We had put some rugs down but never did anything with it otherwise. Fast forward several years, we are now inclined to put down flooring, ideally LVP. I thought we had a pretty flat resulting floor, until we went to...

Several options similar to these were also 50% off or more, columbus ohio

Thanks folks, I appreciate all the input.

This will be for the basement, poured concrete. Years ago, in an effort to insulate the cold floor so the kids could have a designated play area, I glued down sheets of 1/2" cork then we just put some rugs over that to protect it. Now we are looking to put an actual finished floor in there, over...

You need an acid or a chelating agent to remove rust. Diluted muriatic, citric acid sprayed on the area let it soak, wash it off. It will likely etch / dissolve the surrounding concrete as well, so keep that in mind. Evaporust may work, though i've not tried that myself.

Im not knocking the deal you got and i certainly dont know your situation. I personally look at an opportunity like that as what's my gain vs risk here. Your risks include someone else coming by while youre away and buying at $450 or less, when youre already at 75% off. Also spending 30 mins...

I have a couple plumbing specialty shops around here. Ill have to check them out. I didnt have any luck at big box. For those interested,ive included a couple in-progress pictures. Second pic may look a little distorted as its an arial view, waiting for adhesive to set on top / bottom inserts...

Didnt realize i had so many options I assumed that compressor tubing wouldnt be a great idea.
