# You're not wrong.
Actually you wouldn't believe this house. There is carpet on top of carpet up the stairs. I wish I was joking. When we did the bathroom there were 5 layers of lino under the carpet tiles, each one more tasteful than the last. We could have lived with the bottom layer if it wasn't in such a state.
