Insert cedar shims to raise the sleepers at low spots. We then fastened the 2 4 pressure treated 2x4s to the. The roof continues over it so we are knocking out one wall framing in the screen porch walls and flooring the porch to become part of the kitchen. My questions to the floor pros are 1.

Lay a 4 foot level across the sleepers to make sure they lie on the same plane.

After making sure that the floor is level use cedar shims to level the sleepers.
