I Fixed My Squeaky Floor But Found A Big Problem!

[@GreenVegan816]

I own a 2-family home and have been living here for the past two years alone because I couldn't stand to listen to the squeaky floors and the pounding of the tenant's bare feet constantly. I figured I'd have to pull up all the floors upstairs (two rooms have hard wood) to fix the squeaks and insulate, so, no renters for now. I'd hate to imagine I could have termite damage as well. I love your channel and I'm looking forward to you fixing all of this, but I don't wish these problems on you.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks Sharon! Is what it is I guess. I bought a fixer upper. I don’t blame you for not wanting upstairs neighbors. That would drive me nuts too! Thanks for checking out the video!

Try this easy fix for your squeaky second floor. the kit is like $25 and extra screws are $10 a box at home depot. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2mnaqiEq6moqtE

@@bbaileystl I just watched the video and I can not thank you enough for that info. I am definitely going to try it. 😊

[@kkeen1450]

I'm happy that you were able to get the squeak taken care of and sad to hear about the Termite damage. But, if I've learned anything about you from watching your videos I've learned that you can fix any repair problems that come your way regarding this house! I have complete confidence in you! I'm glad I became a Patreon supporter of this channel👍🔧🔩🔨😎🍺🌟

Termite damage, *shudders*. Man those little critters can do some damage. We've had to fix issues with our posts on our front porch because of them. We didn't even know there was damage until we were repainting the house. Sorry you're having to deal with them too. Thanks for another awesome video though. 😁

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Yup. They are terrible! It’s called “termites holding hands” when all the wood is together until you start poking it. It is a really crappy feeling when you discover it. 😞🤷‍♂️ oh well. This is homeownership. Thanks for checking out the video Peach!!

[@georgiapeach7291]

@@TheFixerHomeRepair you taught me something again, lol. Termites holding hands. Never heard of that before. Oh yeah, when you have a home even when you think you're doing a good job of maintaining it, you will still find problems, but you learn each time. Not the way I like to learn but at least I'm learning, lol. 😆

[@juneaskew6871]

Thanks so much for this video! I have a squeaky area on my floor and now I know how it needs to be fixed. Sorry about the termite damage. That's another thing I need to have checked out as well.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks for watching!

[@bsegment]

Oh my. I need to do exactly this so i look forward to seeing how you fix it. I've got some rotten sill and floor joists under a bathroom on an addition that the prior owner had hidden

[@MrEricOBrien]

I would be terrified to take this on myself. Really looking forward to seeing how you do it.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Stay tuned!

[@delmaquezada6733]

Great job. Enjoyed this video. You're not just cute, you're cool smart also.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Aww 😊 Thanks, Delma!! 😀

[@rosepinklady8]

So sorry to see you have termite damage 😳😕. Hopefully you will not encounter any other problems when you start the fixing.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

I hope not. We will see! Thanks for checking it out!

[@donfenton7473]

So sorry. Can’t wait for the video though.

[@letsdoit6280]

I been Watching your viedo almost from 6 months and I have a question how Much it's Cost for finished Basement without kitchen and with half bath. Waiting for little advice thank you

[@hhova29]

Nice video. So would you attest that the primary cause to your squeaky floor was due to termite damage or just aging and settling?

[@rosalynneal8761]

Thanks for the video now I know what the problem is..

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@courtneystage3969]

As soon as you said "reframe" I was like ooh, I hope he does a video and then you said you would so now imma happy Court....also, will you elaborate on the damage (if any) that an infestation that size could possibly cause? Meaning, to the surrounding areas of wood as well as other parts like plumbing, electrical, etc?

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Hey Courtney! If you are happy, I am happy! Yes, I will go into as much detail as possible when I make the repair video. Thanks for checking it out!

[@courtneystage3969]

@@TheFixerHomeRepair why thank you...I just realized you answer like all my questions for free and I might come off as insensitive since you have a patreon and I havent joined yet but I promise I'm not, I'm just kinda broke lol but as soon as it fits my budget I'm joining cuz all this info is sooooo valuable...thanks man!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Haha no pressure at all. I really appreciate it! I am happy to help out. That is my mission!!

Really interesting video. Greetings from Germany

Thanks for watching!

Its fixable time consuming but not too tricky .

Is the dog 70 or 75 pounds, I think it’s important to know

[@navdeepjaat29]

You are awesome love from India

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thank you. YOU are awesome!

[@ibrazeau3044]

Lots of work coming up... no too hard but just a pain in the a&s to do. Termites are usually present when there is water present. At least that's what I know from here say... I live up north and we don't have them here! Having seen your previous videos... I think you have a concrete staircase in the front of the house... I wonder if the water leak, humidity and what not, might originate from there, the siding or the entrance door? I think you will need to further investigate!? The positive is that you found it before major renos... and that you can fix it. Good luck.

[@joeevan6265]

I could tell at 1:04 that you had water or termite damage.

[@shortyjy]

If you can do this *drives screwdriver completely through 2x6* lmao

[@kcattteau]

I’m afraid...please be careful!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Yes I was careful and it is all fixed now... here is the video of me fixing it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHqkm3WKl6l0hbs

[@ContrastY]

Truly irritating and all too common

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Yup. 🤷‍♂️😐 Thanks for checking out the video!

[@0ut1and3r]

dammn sorry man...

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

It's ok. Thats what happens when you buy a fixer upper. I had it much worse on one side of my house. About 8 feet of the sill of the house was gone! Thanks for checking out the video and stay tuned for a video on how I fix this!!

[@guitarzan1337]

Looks more like water damage.

[@davidwostrel]

Sorry man that sux!!
