    People who carpet bathrooms clearly don’t understand the concept of mold. This is beyond filthy. What a disgrace.

      People who don’t get carpeted bathrooms, underestimate the dangers of slipping on tiles.

      It’s no coincidence that the elderly love a carpetted bathroom. It’s less of an issue than it once was, especially if you can afford a cleaner who shampoos the carpet once a week.

      Not this monstrosity obviously.

    This house is fractally horrible. Every single picture (is that all red one a murder room, btw?) is horrible, and every level of zoom makes it worse.

    I can’t think of any use for this house other than renting it out to people making those “Ghost Hunter TV show about to get cancelled but then they find a real haunted house and they all die” kinds of movies.

    I like how all the carpets look like they have telltale signs of professional cleaning, and then there’s the bathroom carpet.

        It’s unapologetically just near the toilet, how do they think anyone’s buying this?

          I worked in real estate.

          Properties like this were catnip. It puts off casuals, but is a relatively easy fix. Knew a guy who often bought a property like this, tore everything out, filled a container, aired it all out, would often make a 50k profit. No painting, no renovation, just a general clean, wipe down with bleach, and removal of crap.

          I’d happily scoop up a turd with my bare hands, if I was being paid 50k to do it. Let’s be honest, most of us would.

          Of course, this kind of property also attracts people who think they’re good at DIY and underestimate how much stuff costs to fix properly. The Money Pit basically.

      The Mold.

      The subfloor under that shower is probably rotten enough I wouldn’t trust it to hold the weight of the shower for very long.

    I didn’t realize it till now, but I think this is how I pictured all bathrooms in Iowa looked.

    I figured that’s why presidential candidates always stumped there first: Everyone feels really sorry for them due to shit like this.

    I refuse that whatever old geezer thought adding carpet to a bathroom was not mentally all the way there. Then his buddy came along and saw it and the old geezer instead of admitting fault doubled down and made it seem ok. Now we got this shit still in 2023.

    I just pulled carpet in a cottage bathroom over this past summer so we could replace it with vinyl.

    It is exactly as gross as you think it is under there.

        Yes. There was mold and a lot of the carpet pad was disintegrated.

        Thankfully there was only about a 12x12" section of subfloor that was rotted, so that was easy enough to replace.

        The smell of the entire cottage has improved, though. Pretty nasty.

          I had a carpeted kitchen as a kid. It was also pretty nasty when it came up, this horrible burnt orange looped shag rug. Lots of spills under there.

    Very strong 80s vibes from this place. It’s not too bad overall, but I’d definitely rip out a lot of carpet if I bought the place. And not just in the bathroom.
