Hi All
following on with my multiple posts regarding building my summerhouse.
Foundation is done and the base (4.6m x 2.4m) is built.
When I laid the base there are a few of the foundations ( compacted MOT1 with cemented flags on top x 12) where the wood is not touching
If you stand on the wood it then sits fine.
the slabs are all level so I suspect the wood is a little warped .
Should I ignore this and hope the weight of the walls etc flatten it out?
Or should I shim the bits raised?
If so should I use the plastic shims that you buy in screwfix of use some slate or other thin material.
The biggest gap is around 12mm.

Thanks

Is the wood in direct contact with the damp concrete?

Turn the wood over so it's convex. Build your cabin, see what gap is left over and shim if needed.
The weight/wood may sag once built and it might not need anything.

A long crow bar will lever the house up enough to get a shim in.
