Once we removed the terrazzo entry tiles and installed a substrate above the subfloor to prep for the tiles that are going to be installed, we realized that the tiles were still going to sit above the hardwood floors.  Instead of installing backer board on part of it we decided float some self leveling concrete.We had never used the stuff before but that’s about true for 75% of the stuff we are doing to this house so we figured why not try it.  We have specified it and seen it done in the field before but we still really didn’t know how it worked. The stuff is amazing.  It truly does level itself.  As soon as it started pouring out of the bucket onto the floor it was already finding the right places to go.  We did the best we could in directing it to the areas were we needed it the most.  Unfortunately we were installing a very thin layer, probably less then an 1/8 of an inch so it was very shallow.  We will just have to see how it works in the morning.
