My old 1921 home, like many of its age, has floors that aren’t perfectly level. My upstairs bedroom, which sits above the front porch, settled slightly after the house was built, but none of the previous owners addressed the issue in the ensuing century. They could have either torn up the flooring and added sister joists to level it, or spent the money to lift and level that section of the house.

I chose the former option, with the help of a contractor I’ve worked with before.

Since the initial move back into the room I’ve completed a few more items such as new blackout curtains, etc.

The room is now warm due to the new insulation and it’s also a quieter because of the type used. I’m very happy with the infrastructure changes to make my home a more comfortable place.
