That job in the old Seattle apartment with the 1970s shag
The homeowner insisted we keep the original padding, which turned out to be basically just dust and mouse confetti. Ever had a client ask you to install over something that should have been condemned?

Ever think you could just work with what's there? I used to try, but a moldy pad under a new floor taught me a hard lesson. Now I show them a sample of the "padding" in a baggie and the problem solves itself.

Ever wonder why they try to hide it? That baggie trick cuts right through the nonsense. You're not just telling them, you're showing them the proof. It forces a real talk about the job, not just a price. Saves so much time arguing later. Smart move.
