My kitchen floor is 1 3/4" out of level across the 8' wall where my kitchen sink, dishwasher, and a couple of base cabinets will go. Leveling the floor is not an option
I'm thinking one option is to build my cabinets 1" shorter than I normally would 34.5" - 1" = 33 1/2" tall.
Build a tapered box out of 2 x4s. The box would be 1" high on one end and 2 3/4" high on the other.
Install cabinets on this level box. This would mean on one end my toe kick height would be ~ 3 1/2" + 1 3/4" while on the other end it would be 3 1/2" (2 1/2" toe kick + 1/2" leveling box. I would then scribe and trim a toe kick board in to cover the area.
Anything wrong with my dishwasher sitting up on this false floor?
Other approaches?
Thanks!
