facility. we noticed floors bowing under the excess weight. what could possibly be causing the floors to be buckling? tag da. this turns out to be a veterans administration office. a va office. so naturally, what is so out of control that is potentially destroying the building are files. tens of thousands of pounds of claims files. an estimated 37,000 of them stacked on top of file cabinet anderson in botches on the floor, causing the floors to bow to the point that inspectors could see the cabinets were not level. an after the inspection, the va decided to shift a lot of that paperwork out of the building and figure out how to store it better which may make the building safer but doesn t solve the real problem. the site of all of those files stacked up in those piles in just one of the regional offices is sort of a astounding confirmation of a statistic.
