   My floor creaks like an old sailboat in a gale.  If I'm barefoot,   
   I can feel the hardwood flooring shifting under my feet.  It's   
   just what houses do.   
      
   When it's very windy, I can sometimes hear the gable end move.  My   
   house is masonry up to where the rafters meet the walls.  The   
   gable ends are wood framed.  I've always wanted to face those   
   gable ends with a half-timbered look, but it wasn't worth the   
   effort when I had so many other things to do.   
      
   If you have a two-story house, how are the floors on the upper   
   story constructed?
