My dad buys trashed houses cheap and fixes them up. The ones in which cats peeing were involved, yeah we had to replace carpet... replace padding UNDER carpet.... treat the WOOD under the padding under the carpet.Kipluckhttp://kipluck.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078854386262466176.post-82995570810091680052006-10-29T09:49:27.000-07:002006-10-29T09:49:27.000-07:00It's a wonder that "stronger than a flami...It's a wonder that "stronger than a flaming sandwich" didn't make it through the marketing department...Shaunahttp://www.cedarridgemusic.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078854386262466176.post-4112763058081401412006-10-27T02:30:12.000-06:002006-10-27T02:30:12.000-06:00I totally agree.

Any flooring ruined by a little water is just plain sucky.Jessehttp://www.coolestfamilyever.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078854386262466176.post-21962445737879212432006-10-27T02:35:16.000-06:002006-10-27T02:35:16.000-06:00Ugh.

I have to go to the crawlspace to see *shudder*. Ou laminate's done pretty well even after water leaked from the fridge it didn't warp. Dana's sandwich caught fire last night (don't ask) and he dropped it on the floor and no marks!

We've had some trouble with our laminate flooring because if water is not cleaned up right away, it warps the flooring.
