Hi Guys,
Due to persistant squeaking from my floors, (the chipboard type boarding, installed when built 1995), i am looking to remove the nails and drive in some 2" screws.
The nails appear to be causing the squeaking as some boards move when walked on but the nail heads stay still, i can only presume the squeaking is caused by the heads rubbing on the wood.
I have tried the talc method and a few others but the most laborious task is the one i think will solve this problem.
So with this in mind does anyone know of any easy method to lft the nails without causing too much damage to the wood ??
Help appreciated
Regards
