Thank you for doing this video, I got the kit and thx to your video, the process was very easy to follow...nice job...I have saved the video and will share.
Oh man! You've saved my marrage! 10 years in this house with NO GLUE under the subfloor. You'd think my house was 100 years old...I really appreciate this. MIGHTY thumbs up. :)
I'm happy to hear that this video helped bring peace to the home! :) Great timing with Christmas coming up and all ;) Thank you for leaving a nice comment! Merry upcoming Christmas!
I just got this kit and watched multiple videos. This is so far the best video and easier to follow, especially the helpful hint was finding the joist on either sides of the vents. Thank you.
Very helpful. One thing to note though, you're supposed to stand over the spot where you're screwing into the joist to ensure maximum bite and contact between the subfloor and joist.
A comment from another installer was to stand with your feet right next to your tripod. This pushes the sub floor down tighter while installing the screw. Great job presenting the domo.
Thanks for the extremely detailed video! I’m on my way to do this and your video was extremely helpful. I can’t wait till my wife walks on a squeaky free floor 😊
Thanks a lot for the video! I was leery on trying this at first. I didn’t realize the vents could be used as a landmark. Definitely going to give it a try with that kit!
No problem! Glad you like the non-HVAC videos as well! The video was actually not planned, I was taking care of my squeak problem and when I saw how well that thing worked decided to share it with all of you :)
Yeah! :) I had no clue either so I was pretty excited when I found out I can fix the squeaks so easily. Glad you liked it, thanks for regularly watching and commenting Mr. Classic!
Try to get out of the habit of using drywall screws for repairs. They’re very brittle and snap easily. Use construction screws. You’ll be thankful in the long run.
I didn't know it existed either, until I decided to fix the squeaky floor that is. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
@Google User Thank you for the simple solution! Sounds like it would work well! It would be nice to do it all that way but quite a few of my squeaky spots are above the supply trunk coming from the furnace. Unless I take apart the ductwork, there's no easy way to get to the creaky spots.
"But if we look at the very next joist, right next to it ... Not this one. Lets go down one more." LOL! Seriously though, thanks. We have a 50 year old floor that's unbelievably annoying. I was excited to find this.
More great "Advice " Mr Word ... I guess the carpenter that laid the flooring needed to set the sights on his nail gun ... Lol ... I've used that screw deal before and it worked great ... Good vid Jay ...
It works and works great (once you find the first floor joist - haha)! Been using one for over 15 years and sooo glad I got one! They work exactly as you demonstrated. Wish you would have shown your views how it works on hardwood and linoleum. They can go to the website and see!
Thank you for verifying that it works! I didn't even think to show an example on linoleum since I don't have any squeaks in the kitchen. I should have but oh well.. Like you said, there are other videos out there.
I’m glad I gave you a chuckle. I actually bought one of these things (it works absolutely fantastically) and I’ve found that using a large neodymium magnet I can find the nails in the stud through the carpet pretty well so I don’t have to use the included stud finder screw.
The instructions in the kit say that the holes that are left in hardwood are pretty small and can be concealed with some putty or filler. Like this stuff for example: amzn.to/2plQOgf
I used this method and it worked pretty well. However, three of the screws broke off a little high and poke through the carpet. How do I either cut the screws off or push them further in the floor. I do have carpet.
I have a question ... can you recommend where i can get some DVD's or school to ger my certificate for hvac ? Really im interested to get one and start study this technical carrier ... i live in Kansas city do you know any places i can go to learn??
Start with epa 608 test. You can get it at mainstream engineering site. Youl need to study for it. I'd say for a month. Then find a Proctor to take the test. Very do able for a beginner. This will get you in the door to get hired by hvac company as maintenance tech. No school required, were on high demand. Youl climb this way. I've had dozens of co workers in 3 states climb this way without school. Besides a man really learns to swim not on land but in water !
I measured according to the instructions and watched this video before drilling anything in. After 10 screws into my “joist” marks, the squeaking still did not stop, 4-6 more directly into the squeaks (thinking I miscalculated the joist positions) and still no relief 😓 what am I doing wrong? Is it possible this is a different problem? It’s driving me nuts.
Jay, I've heard that this can unravel certain types of carpets when you screw through the carpet...is this true? What type of carpet do you have? Would love to do something like this at my house but I would hate to ruin the carpet! Thanks
Sorry Chaz, I don't know the answer to that. Although they claim that it works on any carpet. If you are worried, I would try it in a corner of a closet first to see if it unravels it or not
@@WordofAdviceTV I just read you should use common household transparent tape wrapped around the screw threads up to the screw score. Don't use an untapped screw on in BERBER carpet!
My squeek are exactly located in between the joists.. No matter I installed screws in the joists.. The squeeks never even reduced... Very disappointed 😥
Thanks for watching! This was the best and easiest method I could find. If you have used this thing before please let us know how it went for you! Or if you have even better solutions I would love to hear them!
My 2 bedroom upstairs sqeaking all over Both rooms, if you step out the bed every one downstairs hear you also the staircase is the same thing will this method fix my problem since it's the entire house ? Or any other suggestions will help ,oh its wood floor with carpet thanks inadvance for your reply
