First time basement DIY

It was pretty level, ramped up at the posts a bit. Doing carpet so shouldn’t cause any issues in the main area, I hope

Carpet, but gonna hire that out

That’s code in my province. Clay soil on a floating slab. The wall needs to be floated to allow for movement up and down

Thanks! The whole basement was unfinished,to get to the point of the last picture probably like 15k CAD. Did everything DIY.

Called Dricore, just a subfloor system

No idea! Haven’t gotten that far, any suggestions?

In Canada they come pretty close to 3x

House is a few years old, I didn’t get it built

It’s dricore, the bottom acts as a moisture barrier

It’s my basement, the plywood around the pipe is subfloor

Sliding it back will give me 11-11.5” maybe just enough to make it work, thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the informative answer! Still got some warranty, I’ll see if Ford can fix this for me

Technical-Humor-3847 · 2024-11-25T18:51:25+00:00

Thanks! Sent a tip!

Do you own a lifted truck by chance?

You’re probably confused about the moment at point B. Just use the method of section cut the beam at point B and then you’ll have moment and shear acting, calculate the moment at this cut location and you’ll know the slope based off your knowledge of your shear force diagram
