Hi
I just bought an old house build in the 40's. It is a Pier and Beam. The floors are unlevel. An inspector told me I could just use a 1 x 2" around the outside of the room, then use 3/8" plywood, shims if necessary, with some carpet pad to fill the void space and prevent creaks.......Is this a fessible way to correct the problem or should I try and level it from underneath. This will be rental property, but want it to be nice. The floors are wood now but like like miniture rolling hills. I would like to fix the problem as inexpensive as possible...thanks
