We are attempting to put in a new floor over pine subfloor planks. Everything is fine with the subfloor except the area near the old chimney. We are keeping the chimney in place. However, the hearth in front of the chimney is about 1/4 higher than the rest of the subfloor. Does anyone have any ideas how we can fix this problem so that we can lay our new floor over a level surface? BTW – we are putting in 3 1/2″ by 3/4″ maple.
