2. The hardwood looks like a machine gun's been fired through it
Some idiot decided to try and get rid of the squeaks by putting drywall screws through it every 1/2 inch six inches apart whether there was a joist or not. I'm not even sure it's structurally sound, hence the laminate. At least it spreads out the weight. That's another reason why I'm worried about the tile. If the edges happen to line up with a set of holes, it'll go right through the floor. I'd lay plywood, but that's gonna throw off all the doors.
