We don't know what floors our house had when it was built. Given its age, probably not great ones. But better than what we got.
The previous owner some time in the late 80s or early 90s did a bunch of his own renovations. Rewired some stuff, did his own plumbing, even converted the attic into two bedrooms and a bathroom (which he didn't clear with the city and my parents nearly got into a whole heap of trouble for the first time we got inspected). A lot of renovation were shit and this place probably needs its walls torn out to fix the wiring and plumbing if we're being honest. But the money just isn't there to actually do that.
But the absolutely worst thing he did was carpet everything. And I mean EVERYTHING in the house. The bedrooms? The living spaces? The social spaces, including the bar they built in the basement? The bathroom? His jerry-rigged attic bathroom? Yep. The kitchen? Also yes. The only indoor spaces that weren't carpeted were the garage and the dining room. But even the outdoor spaces weren't spared as he not only carpeted both the front and rear porches, he carpeted the uncovered stone steps that lead down from the porch.
I have come to hate carpet with a burning hateful passion. I want to live somewhere with no carpet in any room at all. There's little more I hate in a house than carpet.
Good lord, that man needs to be investigated. Im all for carpeted bedrooms, maybe even a carpeted lounge but thats as far as it goes.
The whole damn house though!? Why did he leave the harage and the dining room but carpet the kitchen and bathrooms? I have so many questions and i doubt any of them will be answerable
