Went to this because of Notrix’s hysterical client and advice from HD. But I see this alot elsewhere also.
I’m a plasterer, and I know a fair amount of masons and cementconcrete contactors I’ve discussed this with. What does floating have to do with leveling anything? That’s not what a float does. Surfacing yes, leveling no. If so, I guess there would be no more floated driveways cuase you sure don’t want them level instead of to grade.

This must be similar to the term used frequently in foundation work, as in "I had the foundation leveled". Often this refers to someone going under an old pier and beam house and whacking in loose shims or putting some stifferer beams midspan under the floor joists.
