In retrospect I believe the white carpeting was to protect the finished wood floors no one knew were under there until they were long gone.

My G-Pa's pet peeve was people with their hands in their pockets as it made it impossible to work and if you're working you're not spending. He actually looked forward to visiting his lake house not to fish or boat, but to do the lawn and cut wood. Might have been some mental issues going on?
