concrete to wood joint

[poynton phil]

Doing a floor soon where it goes from wood to conrete, i know i'v got to use a movement joint where these two substraights meet.The problem is that the concrete is staggered, on one side of the floor the concrete comes out about 10 inches furher than on the other side. Any ideas on how to get around this problem, would be appreciated.

it your putting plywood down over run it on to the concrete and stick it to the concrete with gripfill

Pj yes i am overboading the floorboards with ply, so should i over run the ply so it levels the joint up then put the movement joint in , or could i over run the ply a bit further, and do away with the movement joint altogether?

Thanks PJ, i'll over run the ply by 3 or 4 inch, then put the joint in along the line nearest to the end of the ply. Oh, and it was a good result for you yesterday
