i’ve got a concrete slab in my cabinet shop & my back is killing me; i was going to put 3/4″ ply over 1×4 sleepers, but i’m not sure that it will help. my sense is that wood floors get their “spring” from the joists; will 1x4s on a slab give me any “spring” at all? i really need some help. thanks mark s
