Had a job in an old house where every floor was a different height
Got a call for a full house install in a place built in the 1920s. The living room was 3/4 inch oak, the dining room had this weird old tile, and the kitchen was just a mess of layers. The worst part was the transition from the hall to the bedroom, a full 1.5 inch drop. Spent two days just leveling and building up subfloor before I could even think about laying the new LVP. The homeowner kept asking why it was taking so long. I had to explain that if I just slapped it down, you'd be tripping everywhere in a week. How do you guys handle those crazy multi-level old houses without blowing the budget on prep time?

Wait, a full inch and a half drop? I mean that's basically a step, how is that even a house anymore.

My old place had a three inch slope in the kitchen. You get used to it after a while, honestly. It just becomes part of the floor plan.

Did you ever check if your fridge door swung shut on its own? That's the real test of a sloped floor.
