Buying Used!

Ever sense I bought this house I have been finding the most bizarre things.  Every time the previous owners screwed something in, they had to use the longest screws possible, you would swear they were trying to screw right into the brick on the exteriors.  So today I finally get time to take out the garbage sub floor they put in the basement, the rug was full of dirt and who knows what else (the old guy living down there was a heavy smoker as well).  All it was 2x2's and 1/4" plywood.  It had a screw every 6", it took forever just to get them out, and then under the floor they left a tone of sawdust and other garbage, stuff that at one point got wet so is now just a lump of mildew, I had to wear a mask just in case, so I got extra sweaty.  Anyway it is done, now I just have to find time to paint the floor until we can afford to put in something better!
