Spent 6 hours on a herringbone transition in a Portland bungalow

The client wanted a clean wood-to-tile line without a reducer strip. I figured it would take maybe two hours to scribe and cut. Ended up recutting the same piece of white oak three times because the subfloor had a subtle dip I missed. Anyone have a better method for finding high spots on an old floor?

My uncle's 1920s craftsman had a floor so out of level we used a laser. Still took a full day to shim and scribe for a single threshold. Old houses fight back.

That 1920s subfloor dip @adam_clark65 mentioned is a real nightmare.
