When we purchased this house 15 years ago, we had
wall to wall carpeting put over the hardwood floors
to protect them from our young sons.

We will be selling this house in the next few years.
Are there any surprises to anticipate if we take up
the carpeting?

If there were animals or kids expect some stains.

Expect black marks anywhere tack strips were nailed down from the
nails.

Don't be surprised that the padding is stuck to the floor. Messy but
usually comes up fairly easily.

The biggest problem you will probably run into is disposing of the old
carpeting.

The definition of a surprise is that you don't anticipate it.

You can anticipate surprises - you just can't anticipate what the surprise
is, or it wouldn't be a surprise :)

Hmm...so if we told him what to expect, it would not longer be a surprise
that he could anticipate?

Yes, since you had children. Pets can cause a lot of damage too.
But, you never know until you look. Good luck!
