This room used to be a screened porch, and it is slab on grade whereas the rest of the house is above grade. The slab for this room is actually sloped which means I needed to rip the 2'x6" to keep the room floor level. And the slab has a 3/16" birdbath in it. All this just adds to the PITA this project had been.

Yikes, that sounds like a nightmare, but you're clearly taking the time to do/get it right.
