VIDEO / They bought a 120-year-old house and smelled a strange smell: When they lifted the carpet, there was a shock

Aidan and Catherine McGowan purchased a 120-year-old farmhouse in South Dakota and encountered an unexpected discovery during renovations. While removing an old carpet in the living room, they uncovered large brown and yellow stains beneath it and under the floorboards. The stains were so severe that they joked the previous owners might have had a dog. Further investigation revealed similar marks under other carpets in the house, though the living room was the worst affected. The couple now faces extensive repairs, including removing existing flooring, replacing lower wall sections with drywall, and installing new wooden floors. Their experience went viral online, with many commenting on the unpleasantness of old carpets hiding dirt and advising protective measures during renovations.
