Look at the other pictures at that site. There appears to be a rug
(amongst other debris) under the floor - the particle board floor, in
fact.

It also looks like some, or at least *parts* of some, of the joists
are on the rug, while others are not. I'm assuming that would have
made for a pretty uneven floor. Of course, from the looks of things
and the things said in the article, that might have been the least of
all the problems.

With all the debris under the floor, it looks like they thought it
would easier to build a new floor than the clean the old one!


Should have been a warm dry floor, anyway.
Reminds me of the place my kid brother used to own. The floor sloped
at least 8 inches across a 12 foot room. The only remedy was to build
a new floor over the old, using 2X10s ripped corner to corner in
wedges to support the new subfloor.(oddly, the ceiling was pretty well
level, so it had to have been built that way, and not sagged after
construction)

We figured it had taken a few cases of intoxicants to build the
foundation and floor, and a few more to finish the job!!!
