I just purchased a house with a brick house extension which is approx 40 years old and is about 3 feet off the ground (crawl space under the house). I believe the floor is made of cement and on the inside, the floor has a layer of plywood, a rug pad, and a wall-to-wall carpet. When anyone walks across the floor, you can feel it vibrating and footsteps make a different sound at the center of the floor as opposed to the parts closest to the walls. I am replacing the wall-to-wall carpet with an oak floor on top of the plywood. Does it sound like the floor may not be sturdy enough to handle the weight of the extra wood or a lot of people, etc.? The engineer who did the inspection did not indicate any issue, but I am not sure. Does anyone have any thoughts on or experience with this? I initially thought the extension would be great for entertaining/parties, but am having second thoughts. Appreciate any advice.
