Re: Chinese DRYWALL.......WHO KNEW????
Let's go to the Big Box and buy the lowest price junk there is...
Actually, buying the American made stuff, while it may be a few cents more, adds value to our own currency, because the money stays here, rather than tipping the balance of trade against us, and devaluing our currency.

Re: Chinese DRYWALL.......WHO KNEW????
As I'm in the process of relocating to Louisiana, this has been a story of interest. It seems the homeowners really did not have much of a choice regarding the drywall due to the shortages after Katrina. I heard of one contractor that is replacing any drywall he did at no charge. Unfortunately this product was allowed to enter the US. It is really a bigger issue than you may think. People are litterally having to rebuild their homes in some cases.
There is suposed to be a town meeting somewhere around Baton Rouge this weekend to discuss an alternative remediation process but I have not heard the details. I know if I buy an existing home, my inspection will be on steroids as well as in-depth documentation of any previous work done to the property. Anyone interested in a lovely home in northeast Ohio, acerage, deer, turkey, private, with a knockout shop / engine barn? Mike

Re: Chinese DRYWALL.......WHO KNEW????
Whew... just checked with the guy that did my new house... his answer was he didn't speak Chinese... he bought American. I figured he did since we have 2 local manufacturers. Lucky me...

Re: Chinese DRYWALL.......WHO KNEW????
Craig,
Hope this doesn't get a "tin foil hat" thought but...... All the Chinese really care about is our money. They could care less about our health and well being. ( perfect example --- lead in children's toys  )The "junk" in the drywall is a perfect way for them to get toxic material out of their country and we actual PAY to accept it here. Nice trading partner.
