because the idiots....ummm people who i bought the house from didnt do preventive maitnance when they owned the house. in my livingroom they had a window air unit, and water ran into the house and onto the floor and rotted a 5 ft. section.in the den there are groves in the floor that cant be sanded. when the roof leaked (thats already been replaced) it rained more in here then it did outside. i would love to be able to save money and get them redone. i spent $9000.00 just getting the house livable. its not a bad house it just needs tender love and care.
