Of course..

Of course...once you start doing home improvements you find things that are 'broken'. As we pulled up the carpet in the downstairs to make room for the laminate flooring we came to find out that one of our baseboards was 'not quite right'. We always knew this section of baseboard had its own problems. But we never knew the full extent of the problem.
When we pulled up the baseboard we found out there was mold growing under it. We found out the sprinkler system that was on the other side of the wall (which was the outside wall) had been creating a pool of water when it came on and that water was seeping into our house. So this problem has been going on since we moved in 4 years ago, but has probably been going on since the condo was built 6 years ago. AUGH!! We probably never would have found the extent of this problem if we had not decided to put up new baseboards with the new floors. Now we are in the process of getting the HOA board to pay for the damage. This will most likely require them going in and re-do sheet rock and the works. Of course, this problem would happen as we try to make our house nicer...at least we found out now and not when we try to sell in a few years.

See the wet tackboard and the gross baseboard (Stu has started to pull it away from the wall, it was not like this when we had carpet)
Can you see the mold on the wall and the floor right by the wall. GROSS
