Editor\u2019s note: Welcome to the second installment of This Ugly House, a reader renovation diary. We\u2019re excited to publish this tale of a hands-on renovation of a wood-frame house in Bed Stuy. See the first one here<\/a>. The author also blogs at www.thisuglyhousenyc.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The most noticeable flaw of our recently purchased home were the sagging floors. Instead of walking, it was more like bouncing across the floor as you went from one area of the room to another. The floor deflection was so bad that we measured up to 5 inches out of level at the center of each floor. The basement flooring was finished with a new cheap engineered mystery. The first floor was covered in a newish, cheaper rolled linoleum with a wood grain pattern. The second (top) floor was wall to wall mildew saturated carpet. Unfortunately, none of the floors had any fantastic surprises hidden beneath. Just raw planks.<\/p>\n
