they were already on the floor to begin with i dont know why???? i remeber my dad saying when they first bought this house that it has something to do with brick walls?? but i maybe wrong my memory doesnt serve back 12 years ago much anymore..... but i know there is a reason for them being on the floor.... most threw out the house are on the floor except the ones he managed to put in the walls... this house was built in the 40s.... and it used to be a brothel/ bar..... and they did not stand up off the floor any they was even but they had extra thick carpet and padding in here also so that might had made up for them being off the ground.... why cant i just hit the lottery and hire me a bunch of professionals lol
