And I know how to SNIP



I am getting static from other occupant about squeaky hardwood floor in hall, through which I must constantly pass.







He's light sleeper; won't use ear plugs; I have to do ***something.***







This is an old So. Calif. stucco house. Crawl space -- no basement.







I just read up on this squeaky hardwood problem, but my days of getting under there with the black widow spiders are over.







This one is from on top.

There's also a site that suggests sprinkling baking soda down the cracks.



Anybody tried this?







Would welcome any experience.

Have the whiner notify the landlord and he'll get right to it...

I'm the "landlord" (owner) and I have to do most everything I can do, and some things I can't. Know a wonderful handyman, but can only afford to use him for stuff I REALLY can't. Was thinking about it when I read here about


BAKING SODA!!!!

(oops...musta hit Send..)

Whoinhellwouldathought baking soda would work!!!!

I strewed it over trial area that squeaks worst; mooshed it sideways into cracks, spread carpet over it and mooshed around some more.

SQUEAK LESSENED!!!

Figures, when you think of it, which I did not; it fills cracks between old hardwood strips to keep them from rubbing against each other. Now will expand treatment to most-trodden areas -- "paths" that one follows from room to room -- and see how long treatment lasts.

Joy to the world!!!!
