Default Squeaky floor

OK. Thanks for the help everyone. I'm going to go with the
construction adhesive first and follow up with the screws as a lst
resort. I knew I'd get positive feedback here. Again, thanks.

How about using construction adhesive at the top 2 edges of each joist.
It is recommended for roofs to help hurricane proof the roof. I wonder if
it would help on squeaks.



I think the screws would work *better*, but a tube of construction adhesive
only costs $3.00, and requires a lot less work than the method I suggested.
The original poster would only lose $3.00 and 30 extra minutes of work if
the construction adhesive didn't work. If it did work, he'd save far more
than 30 minutes.
