Third floor remodel 
transpixel
transpixel Crappy subfloor piece removed. You can see the old attic boards that they put the plywood over. To do it right, they should have ripped out everything and installed 3/4" tongue and groove plywood. Now the foor has squeaks that are impossible to get rid of without ripping out *everything* in the attic. transpixel

transpixel My patch for the crappy subfloor bit.  Notice the polyurethane adhesive in a tube that I'll apply to the back so there's a good bond between it and the old attic boards. A good bond means fewer sqeaks. transpixel
