Date: September 14th, 2021 8:48 PM Author: Fighting Irradiated Quadroon I’m looking at a house that has wall-to-wall carpet on the main floor, but the description says it is all hardwood underneath and I’m assuming that means the carpeTTT can be ripped out?

They might not be in great shape but could probably be refinished and come out pretty nice. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4921840&forum_id=2#43119208) |

Date: September 14th, 2021 10:08 PM Author: Naked sound barrier He does, but my sense is you’re gonna need to buy new hardwood.
Would be good if you could try to get a puece of carpet off in a corner to take a look what you’re working with. |

It’s not that expensive anyway, and new floors look fantastic and you get to pick the wood, color. I got 2 bedrooms done for $3k (labor and materials). Lumber liquidators gave me quote for 8k lol. I’ll send you pictures. |

Date: September 15th, 2021 9:04 AM Author: sticky preventive strike institution Yes, it was carpet in the bedrooms and tile in the halls, bathrooms, living room, and kitchen. The kitchen had the tile put over a layer of linoleum. Also an outdoor pergola (not up to code) and a reno bathroom window that is also not up to code which is going to cost a mint to tear out that I still haven't gotten to yet.
Back in the 90s they put in an illegal apartment inside the garage... you can still see where they had drawn a toilet hole.
Who does these kinds of things to a home they own? Baffling. Granted there were multiple owners as time went on. |
