Two words: Chinese Drywall.... :helpme

shitty cocaine?

hahaha amazing, first they blame the poor dog

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

what about unexplained assleaks?

:helpme

how can you expect quality from race that you could blindfold with a strand of dental floss..

its like asking a blind guy to drive you home.. pretty good chance you'll end up fucked up or dead..

sniff sniff im bleeding

i am glad i am not

damn .....

Christ.. Can anything coming out of China be deemed quality.

so time to boycott shit products from there

other asian countries..like korea for example dont buy shit from there....they know its all garbage

that sounds fucking insane

That shit is fucking insane. I dont think we got any Chinese drywall around me.

Im very surprised that the Chinese would allow a product of such inferior quality to be manufactured and shipped around the world.

The Chinese are a very smart and industrious people, people who care about the people who buy thier products.

I for one believe that this is all a very big misunderstanding, and expect that the LA Times will soon print a retraction.

</sarcasm>

damn.... :-/

*insert picture of mulder and scully*

it never said what was "in" the Chinese drywall that would cause that type of damage/smell.. did it?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,514636,00.html :
"The drywall apparently causes a chemical reaction that gives off a rotten-egg stench, which grows worse with heat and humidity.

Researchers do not know yet what causes the reaction, but possible culprits include fumigants sprayed on the drywall and material inside it. The Chinese drywall is also made with a coal byproduct called fly ash that is less refined than the form used by U.S. drywall makers."

http://www.chinesedrywall.com :

"In short, drywall imported from China which emits gases which corrode copper and metal surfaces, gives off a foul odor and can make you sick."

"In short, there are numerous theories and no consensus. The most common theory is that the tainted drywall was manufactured in gypsum mines in China which used fly ash, a waste material that is a byproduct from power plants using coal. Coal fly ash can leak into the air and emit sulfur compounds. Samples of Chinese drywall recently tested by United Engineering, however, consiste of 5-15% organic material, which contradicts the assumption that Chinese drywall was made of waste from coal fired power plants.

Another theory is that Chinese drywall contains bacteria which is degrading iron and sulfur compounds to produce sulfur odors. Drywall imported from China was kept on barges at sea for months awaiting permission to enter the United States. While at sea, the drywall was exposed to seawater. In fact, there are reports that the drywall was wet (and stunk) when unloaded from the ships. According to many experts, however, if bacteria is in fact present, it is not significant enough to cause an odor.

Testing of drywall outer paper and the gypsum core has been found to release sulfur compounds. Thus, there are potential causes aside from the drywall itself, including contaminants in the adhesive that binds the paper to the drywall. Additionally, the drywall or outer paper may have been treated with a fungicide after entering the United States. No one has yet to determine whether tainted drywall has been found in China or Germany (where Knauf is based). "

thanks u-bob

Walmart knows the answer to this:winkwink:
