There was a patch of carpet in our office that made a distinctive crunch when stepped on.
I noticed it years ago, and it became just another quirk of the house—I knew something was odd but wasn’t sure what.
Today, I learned the culprit: the installer had left a tatter of plastic wrap between the subfloor and the foam below the carpet.
Crunch.
Homes are full of these oddities.
