He mentioned that the floor was a "diarrhea brown", which I took to mean linoleum or an otherwise hard floor. While there is nothing to stop you from installing a floating hardwood floor (typical installation is floor > thin foam pad for insulation > click together flooring) on top of carpet, and in lieu of a foam pad, the end result would likely be that the floor would feel "mushy" when walked on.
