Chinese Drywall - The New Hazard! - 11/05/09 08:26 AM
I was just reading an article that I found really disturbing concerning Chinese drywall.  I'm not talking about the drywall in the houses in China -  no that would be too boring.  Guess what folks?  In the ever expanding arena of anything for an extra buck, US builders have begun importing this crap from China because, of course, it's CHEAPER!
