Raise floor using wooden floor in a future laundry room.

[Kiwikarini]

Dare I post a picture of something that the majority has criticized?

Everything went well during the floor construction. The little problem I encountered was the floor slope to the drain, but I was aware of that and solved it with spacers under the joists where needed. What made me continue is that we have a sauna in the same room which (of course...) is also made of wood and stands on the floor, and it still looks fine since it was built in 2006.

I thought my solution turned out better than the one with tiles that Danne_08 linked to, but thanks anyway for the tips and ideas!

Fun to follow this thread! If you read this so long after; what kind of joists did you have closest to the concrete floor? Were they wood joists or something else? We have the same idea in our basement, to build decking to make pipes for the washing machine "invisible."
