1. A portable restroom having a floor structure, the floor structure comprising:
a sheet of material forming a floor;
the material having an upturned flange surrounding its perimeter;
a threshold formed by a recess in the upturned flange on the perimeter of the material sheet; and
one or more self-leveling devices for leveling the floor, wherein the one or more self-leveling devices comprises a slit adjacent to the threshold.
2. The portable restroom of claim 1 , wherein the one or more self-leveling devices comprises a first slit on a first side of the threshold and a second slit on a second side of the threshold.
3. The portable restroom of claim 2 , wherein the first slit further comprises a through hole and the second slit further comprises a through hole.
4. The portable restroom of claim 1 , wherein the one or more self-leveling devices further comprises a through hole.
5. The portable restroom of claim 1 , wherein the one or more self-leveling devices level the threshold.
6. A portable restroom having a floor structure, the floor structure comprising:
a sheet of material forming a floor;
the material having an upturned flange surrounding its perimeter;
a threshold formed by a recess in the upturned flange on the perimeter of the material sheet; and
one or more devices for leveling the floor, wherein the one or more devices comprises a jamb leveler which is a jack screw coupled to a pad.
7. The portable restroom of claim 6 , wherein the pad comprises a drain bole.
8. The portable restroom of claim 6 , further comprising a jack nut on the jack screw.
9. The portable restroom of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the jack screw or pad is in a pocket in the floor.

self-leveling devices for leveling the threshold, wherein the self-leveling devices comprise a first slit and through hole on a first side of the threshold and a second slit and through hole on a second side of the threshold, which slits isolate the threshold from compressive stresses and allow the threshold to self-level and lie flat.
13. The floor structure of claim 12 , wherein the one or more self-leveling devices level the floor.
14. A floor structure for a portable restroom structure comprising:
a sheet of material forming a floor;
the material having an upturned flange surrounding its perimeter;
