The nation's home builders haven't felt this bad about their market since
last September.
After six months of holding steady the National Association of Home Builder'
s sentiment survey fell three points in June to 13, as builders face not
only competition from distressed properties, but rising costs of materials.
Fifty is the line between positive and negative sentiment on the survey.
The costs for roofing, copper, wallboard, vinyl siding and other components

Odors and corrosion raise concern over drywall imported from China
Bethany Halford
THERE'S SOME curious chemistry going on within walls of homes across the
southeastern U.S. Complaining of foul odors, rampant copper corrosion, and
respiratory problems, homeowners are raising a stink about the latest
suspicious import from China—drywall.
Dark Mark Black corrosion forms on a copper air conditioner coil in a house
in Florida built with Chinese drywall that emits sulfurous gases. Zuma |

先用湿度计确定漏水的位置，而后用推荐的wallboard saw在drywall上开了一块长方形
洞，用tube cutter把铜管割下来两英寸，用sharkbite连上，现在已经一点水不漏了。
从割下来的铜管看，里面已经有不少铜锈，漏水的地方，就是水压把铜锈硬挤出一个针
眼大小的洞，但由于水压大，喷出来的水象刚砍了头的脖子一样，是不是应该把管道都
换了？ |

good luck!
In the late 1970s, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) banned
the use of asbestos in wallboard patching compounds and gas fireplaces
because the asbestos fibers in these products could be released into the
environment during use. Additionally, asbestos was voluntarily withdrawn by
manufacturers of electric hair dryers.
On July 12, 1989, EPA issued a final rule banning most asbestos-containing
products. In 1991, this regulation was overturned by the F |

发帖数: 4125 | 5 In short, the term "Chinese Drywall" (or tainted drywall or wallboard)
refers to drywall imported from China from 2001 to 2007 which contains
contaminants that are emitting gases which usually (but not always) create a
noxious odor and corrode copper and other metal surfaces, thereby damaging
your air conditioner, electrical wiring, copper plumbing, appliances and electronics.
Symptoms typically appear in about 24 months. Corrosion of electrical
wiring can hamper the effectiveness of your sm |

看上个房子，代理说是CARTUS的房子. 签合同的时候要求签的东西里面有这样的一段话
In addition, certain building materials (such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde
foam insulation ('uffi') and drywall- also known as wallboard, gypsum board
or plasterboard manufactured in China (Chineses Drywall") have been linked
to health concerns and/or property damage. ....... Buyers acknowledged and
accept.....)

他奶奶的，太欺负人了。咱们大事干不了。但是可以直接不买了，跟代理说不喜欢这句
话，不买了。自己一个人的力量很小，但是觉得很开心。 |

Have no idea how the option volume affects the stock price, but if you look
at its fundamentals, it is not a good buy, at least for now. Gypsum
wallboard industry still sucks, operating at historical low utilization, 50%
something. Something structurally has to be changed, either demand to come
back to previous peak level, or some old capacity to close, before the
industry can get a better pricing. Cement is in better shape in terms of
pricing, but volume is gonna weak for a whi |

I'm trying to cut down on the sound coming off our home furnace. I already
have the furnace room walls insulated with rockwool, which I find
insufficient. Short of adding more ...show more

It depends on what about the furnace unit is making the noise.
***Typically it is the fan motor***, or associated moving parts.
Sometimes it is the housing vibrating from the spinning of the blower fan.
It may be the plenum or metal (or other... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 11073 | 14 我总听到“Don't ask, don't tell policy”，一直稀里糊涂的，刚才去查了一下：
Don't ask, don't tell (DADT) is the common term for the policy restricting
the United States military from efforts to discover or reveal closeted gay,
lesbian, and bisexual servicemembers or applicants, while barring those who
are openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual from military service.
这个的用意是什么啊？我还是不太明白……
另外，今天听到一条Chinese Drywall的新闻，google一下，出来的都是什么toxic
chinese drywall, chinese drywall lawsuit类似的，恐怖啊……
