I would like to begin by saying this is my very first Blog. With this blog I intend to give you a blow by blow account of the process of dealing with Chinese drywall. I feel I can speak to you about this as I have it n my personal home.

I bought my house in 2006 brand new. I noticed an odd smell, but was reassured that it was probably the glue from the carpet and other construction materials and it would dissipate. After a few month I no longer noticed the smell. We did, however have a few strange things happen. We had to replace our Microwave after about 6 months, the key pad no longer worked; it also seemed like we changed alot of lightbulbs.

On July 4, 2009 my A/C was not cooling. I waited until Monday to call. They determined that the evaporator coil was leaking and was covered with black soot. The repairman was trained to start looking for these signs of defective drywall while doing repairs.

I had the builder and the Drywall Sub-Contractor look at the house the next day. They both agreed that it seemed to meet the criteria set forth by the state of Florida for determing a home may contain defective drywall. I found a home inspector, expereinced with the product to verify the symptoms. The State of Florida says to look for these 5 factors in determining if a home contains defective drywall:

First, determine the date of construction

To meet the current case definition (03-30-09) homes constructed after 2003 (2004 to present) must meet two or more conditions; and those built prior to 2004 must meet three or more of the conditions specified below.

1. There is presence of sulfur-like or other unusual odors
2. Confirmed presence of Chinese manufactured drywall in the home (Presence pictures)
3. Observed copper corrosion, indicated by black, sooty coating of Un-insulated copper pipe leading to the air handling unit present in the garage or mechanical closet of home (Corrosion pictures)
4. Documented failure of air conditioner evaporator coil (located inside the air handling unit) (Coil pictures)
5. Confirmation by an outside expert or professional for the presence of premature copper corrosion on Un-insulated copper wires and/or air conditioner evaporator coils (inside the air handling unit) (Wiring pictures)

I will continue to relate my story over the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Statistics would seem to indicate that we have seen the bottom of this market and our day to day business is supporting this indication. Non-short sale inventories of homes here are down in the six months supply range again and moving nicely. Short sale homes still represent a significant portion of inventory and based on trends, many will end up in forclosure before we see the end of them, but consumer enthusiasm for investing in our market is on the rise and the first time home buyer credit which is presently good till December 1st, 2009 has helped many to realize the joy of home ownership.

I also see many people forced to rent till they repair their credit and save up a down payment in the future. This would seem to indicate a good climate for investors able to take advantage of low prices and interest rates, invest some cash and build a portfolio of properties for future equity growth and cash flow.
