level flooring

We are trying to fit a ramp/threshold between our living room floor and our sliding door track. We bought a 3m long wooden ramp long and 20mm thick and 169mm wide. Unfortunately our floor (because of the screed) is not completely level in the middle of the sliding door so when I put the ramp...

Another little job at the House of Pain- over its 200 years it has acquired a bit of a lean- the bedroom floors are 70mm lower one side than the other (the drop is across the joists, it is the walls that have sunk not the timber). There is a bit of sag in the middle of the joists (about 10mm)...
