This won't solve all your problems, but try something cheap and easy before
you drive yourself nuts trying to fix the squeaks. Got a container of
squeeze mustard? Finish it, clean it really well and let it dry thoroughly.
Fill it halfway with talcum powder. Go down in the basement and squirt the
powder in between all "seams" where you hear squeaking. I did this in my
last home and it lasted for several years. Your mileage may vary.


Good suggestion.

OP, if you can't do this, get a container of talc, use it all up, and
fill it with mustard. Then, find a baby and before you put a new
diaper on, cover his behind with mustard.
