The Tricks To Fix A Squeaky Wood Floor! 

Thanks for the tip, I now have a sofa in front of my kitchen sink and the floor no longer squeaks.

@@Shazam999 My grandmother had a similar complaint!

Who needs a hallway anyway!​@@Shazam999

Mine's 1920s, if anything like mine, can also be between boards, which talcum powder can aid with without drilling. Just find actual talc (harder nowadays), brush it across the floorboard seams to work it in, then wipe up excess with damp paper towel (don't breathe it in obviously). The half of mine that new nails didn't resolve, talc did.

If you have access from below you can also run a bead of construction adhesive along both sides of the floor trusses. This helps attach the truss to the decking, so they move as one.

There is a floor squeak repair kit that works on all floors - hardwood, laminate carpeted.

I am jealous that you live in such a family heirloom!

Pray.

Water pipes, gas pipes and the like should generally be in the middle of the joist, if they're going to go through (and usually only near load bearing walls, not in the middle of rooms), and any sensible installer isn't going to run those kind of utilities next to the decking if they're going parallel. They SHOULD be at least 2" under the deck even if the joist is a just a 2x6 (it's probably more). Figure out what thickness of flooing you have by looking under your heater vent covers, you can usually fish a bent wire next to the duct to use as a gauge. Keep whatever screws you use to the thickness of your flooring + deck + 1 to 1.25 inch, and you SHOULD never have a problem unless a real tard built your house. Those rules of thumb will generally keep you safe, (as well for doing drywall or mounting cabinets). To be 100% certian, cut a hole from underneath if you can, or buy, beg, borrow or steal a bore scope / inspection camera with a 90 degree lens and poke a hole into the joist bay from above and have a peek at what's going on. Bore scope cameras are inexpensive / good enough these days that you don't have to spend a fortune. They are handy for all kinds of handy things. I recommend the Teslong ones, and the hole only need be 0.22" or so--easy enough to cover up, usually.

Thanks buddy, the leg is much better! 75% ish🍻

@@TheFunnyCarpenter great to hear!! Watching this on holiday in the UK :)

My wife is always making fun of these shoes saying that I look like an old man…so I’ve really jazzed them up😂

Somewhere there is usually board movement and a nail!

They hold up pretty well

Definitely an annoying defect

@@nothingtoseehere93 Then I'm not going to let you buy my house.

Have you ever seen the inner working of a house?

Ah, the expert. There is always one, isn't there. Is that a culteral thing in the colonies?

Yeah I should pay a someone off Craigslist for 2000$ so they can do the same thing and change their name and address when I go sue them

Why don't you go watch something else.

​@@TheFunnyCarpenter I just gave my personal opinion. Am I entitled to have it here or not? Why is everyone so attacking when someone thinks differently? I stated that I liked the video and thought the idea was great, which I have used myself for years. However, I also damaged the water pipe and nearly the gas line, which shouldn't have been there. Just saying, guys, this is my own experience, and everyone should be allowed to have their own opinion. If you disagree, let's have a friendly chat about it. Good dialogue can lead to very interesting outcomes. Greetings from a subscriber 👍
