Finding My Floor Level.

[staningrimsby]

Hi Guys,

I am in the application stage of building an extension to my kitchen,

my current kitchen sticks out 3m beyond my dining room which means

that there is a bit of wasteland between the exisiting kitchen and the

dining room, this is were i want to extend to.

the floor levels is both the dining room and the kitchen are the same

but how do i find out from outside were the existing floor level is ???

is it just a case of drilling through the wall and seeing were it come out or

is there a more scientific way of doing it ???

Open a window, stick a builders level through and hold it horizontally. Measure down inside to get floor level; keep the level in the same place, run outside, measure down from the level outside, mark on wall with dog **** chalk or similar, et voila, sorted.

If you're really clever, you can do it all from outside, on your own, by leaning in through the window

And an even simpler solution, if there is a door, is to follow the brickwork course that the threshold sits on and, within a spit, that is your floor level.
