The internal load bearing walls are called sleeper walls and are very often built with gaps in between the bricks to allow a free flow of air under the floor. Measure and cut the sleepers as you would for a concrete floor but position the sleepers in one of two ways. Often closets or pantries do not have a baseboard molding. Building a deck from wood requires special considerations due to the effect that moisture has on the material.

Either line them up directly over the joists that lie beneath the subfloor or run them perpendicular to the joists. Install plywood over sleepers at 90 degree angle to direction of finished flooring 1 4 spacing all edges and breaking joints 4. Set out the sleepers along the perimeter of the room and in their approximate locations across the rest of the floor cutting them to length as necessary. Repeat the process across the entire floor to level all remaining sleeper joists.
