Found out my garage slab was a half inch off after ordering a new workbench

I waited 8 weeks for this custom steel workbench from a shop down in Parma. Went to bolt it down and realized the slab slopes toward the door way more than I thought. Took me 3 days and two bags of self-leveling concrete to fix it right. Anyone else find weird issues in old Cleveland houses that just domino into bigger projects?

Classic Cleveland houses, never square always an adventure.

My grandma's house in Parma had a doorframe in the basement that was a solid 2 inches off from the wall on one side. It drove me crazy as a kid but she just called it "character." You notice it everywhere once you start looking - even in newer places, nothing is ever truly level or square. I swear it's like builders just eyeball half this stuff and call it good enough.
