squeaky hardwood floors.
is there anything that can be done about this? i was thinking about drilling small holes in problem areas and injecting glue (like gorilla, because it expands) then patching. that's all i can think of. any other suggestions?

3. Temp fix (just to get rid of the annoying noise): talcum powder or
cornstarch sprinkled into the area where it's squeaking.
