1. In a method for screeding cement floors to a desired level with a self-propelled screeding machine, including providing an area of ground with an aggregate bed surface thereover, and a pair of rails for supporting each side of said screeding machine above said aggregate bed surface, the improvement comprising:

  • (a) digging a plurality of holes through said aggregate bed surface into the ground;

    said holes being arranged in at least two substantially parallel and spaced apart rows wherein the holes in each row are spaced apart and generally aligned;

    (b) pouring unsolidified cement into each of said holes;

    (c) inserting an open ended sleeve in a substantially vertical orientation in the unsolidified cement in each of said holes;

    positioning a closed end of said sleeve downwardly within said cement, and positioning an open end of said sleeve in a position communicating with the area above the free surface of said cement;

    (d) curing said cement to a solidified state, thereby forming a cement footing around each sleeve and fixedly setting the same in said bed surface;

    (e) inserting a rail support member telescopically into each sleeve;

    said support member including an upper end; and

    (f) connecting said rails to the upper end of each support member whereby the weight of said screeding machine does not settle said support members and cause undulations and deviation from the desired level of said floor.
