Question about a boring topic.

[gonelifting]

I had this posted on the Home Improvement forum 2 years ago with no real luck.

My plywood subfloor squeaks in some spots under the carpet. I uased 3/4 plywood , glued and screwed in. I used a tube of glue for every 4x8 piece just to avoid this problem. That did'nt work. lol

So, is there a way I can correct it now with the carpet still in place? I can always take up the carpet and renail or screw again, but i'd rather not because if it did'nt work the first time, I don't see how this would change things. I'd hate to pull up the carpet AND have the floor still squeak.

Jack Shit where are you? lol



Oh, and I know this will get at least 40 replies. pfft.

uhmmm, strange. you glued it and used screws.

i think i know what it is maybe. is your house on post and beam then? if so did you use regular plywood or treated plywood?

Yes, but I did'nt nail AND screw the same boards. I ran out of screws at one point and used nails for the rest. Only a few pieces. I did glue everything though.

I'm thinking MAYBE.... I may have not put enough of a gap between the boards for expansion when hot.

Has anyone had experience with nails that break off at the head specifically used for driving into wood through carpets? I have a thick carpet and would'nt want little indentations everywhere.

I used regular 3/4 plywood. The hose is 17 feet wide and has 2X4's going up the sides of the house in a balloon framing on the outside walls from first floor to second floor roof. The floors are 2X12 along the whole span of the 17 width or microlam (sp?) spanning across where needed. Everything else is NOT a load bearing wall. It's an open floor plan.
