Chinese Drywall


How does one know what is in one's home?

We really need to start boycotting anything and everything coming from China.

I called my local Menards store and they assured me the wallboard they sell is not imported.

Re: Chinese Drywall


cut a piece out and look at the back of the board. it says CHINA on the back.

I was talking with a friend the other day who does mortgage loans and he said the the lending companys are requiring that the drywall be cut out and checked on any homes built during the period that chinese drywall was sold prior to loaning monies on a home!!
