    Uneven and spongy Floor

    I live in a 3 story house, the mid level floor is uneven and spongy. The floor slants from the centre of the property towards each end. When walking you can hear furniture move. Does this point to an issue with the floor Joists?

    Carpet fitted using glue?

    I'm supposed to be getting a carpet fitted in a few weeks. The fitter told me that he'll be using a glue and I'm worried about this. Should they be using glue at all? Will I be able to get it up if needed as there is pipework under the floor. Any advice before the installer comes would be great! Thanks in advance.
