I bought a house last year, the living room and dining room are connected into one room, the floor of the dining room is concrete and not very level, the living room is wooden floorboards, they don't match up. I would like to replace the concrete with wooden floorboards, so that it's level and it feels the same on my feet.
Is this feasible? Would it be a big job? Would I need to have all of the concrete removed or just enough to clear space for joists? what's underneath the concrete? would there already be a damp course? would the vibrations created grinding the concrete away affect the foundations? Is this concrete that's in the dining room possibly be connected to the foundations and should not be messed with?
The dining room was once the kitchen if that affects anything.
