Yup...I know I'll need to get a level, too. I don't have one of those yet. It'll be a little bit before I do this. I am trying to get a feel for it. I did find 3" ducting to put under the underlayment, so in theory, a 2x4 should be alright. Just need to find a vent/register to hook up to it somehow.

I would imagine that laying a 2x4 narrow side down will offer more rigidity to it, since it won't flex as easy. How would you secure the 2x4's to the floor/concrete though? Would they be alright just laying there, or should they get tacked down somehow?

EDIT: That link just worked for me...go figure. If you go in to the flooring/hardwood/prefinished, the model number is PF6071 for the stuff I found.
