I'm reasonably handy, and want to start finishing off my basement. One
part of the basement is really off level due to a bad pour of concrete
(not my fault). I'm thinking the best way to solve the problem is to
build a subfloor or a deck in this area. The area is approx 6' long x
12' wide. One of the 12' stretches has almost nothing to secure to
except for maybe 1.5' of concrete wall.

I have levels, hammer drill, saws etc. I just don't know exactly how to
put the floor together, and then how best to level/secure the floor.

The walls are cinderblock, not solid or poured concrete.

I'm thinking I could by about 4 12' and 2 6' sections of wood (2x4?) and
frame it all out with brackets. Then level with shims and bolt into the
cinderblock with lag bolts or tapcon screws.

I would love to hear any ideas on this. I don't think it's an overtly
hard project. I just need a few pointers.

Thanks!

I'm wondering how off is it. With a small area like that I would think
about self leveling cement.

I've used that stuff before, but the mixture must be just right, else your
in real trouble.
