We have been interviewed by the CPSC and shut down mainly because there were more homes built during the Chinese Drywall timeline in Nevada than in Florida. People are sick here because we are living on a Non-Humid environment compared to Florida so we are not having early warning AC units going out but over time with these items failing it seems more like usage than anything else. We moved in and called the gas company and they cleared the house built in 2004.
Six years later we have been battling sinus infections, brain damage, migraines, brain damage, blindness in one eye, acute skin rashes that remained for four years + so much my wife is almost anti-biotic resistant + scarred then one day we found an article about Chinese drywall and had our home tested and it tested positive. In fact we have blanks in our home with little to no writing, some from Mexico, Canada, Georgia-Pacific, National Drywall and others that have no markings. Our blog shows the health damage as well and drywall but at the ages of 45 we are left with nothing except a uninhabitable house, inability to work, no insurance, imminent foreclosure which will lead the bank to resell without disclosure and no furniture or belongings because the CPSC told us everything was toxic. http://toxicdrywalllasvegas.blogspot.com/
We tried living in our garage where we thought it would minimize our exposure but we still have migraines and still throw up every morning after sleeping in our mini-van.
We need assistance from the media to put the spotlight on Nevada because we have been frozen out locally due to the power of the developers in the courts.
Who is to blame for the toxic drywall tsunami that hit Florida and will soon reach Nevada?
- Manufacture - Yes, but they are a Chinese company so they are out of reach
- Supply - Yes, they should know the difference between grey, pink or white gypsum drywall and ask questions after all that is there business.
- Builders - Yes, when they were off loading the drywall - clearly the color wasn't consistent they should have refused the product BUT they were greedy and had to make deadlines in a hot market. There are five or more different types of drywall in our home with a range of colors and smells.
Who has been let off the hook leaving the homeowners who received a finished product?
- - The Homeowners - hung out to dry with health problems with little to ZERO help from the government.
- Why? Because the exposure the Suppliers and Builders would have could put them all out of business with the lawsuits and potentially cause the government to step in and Bail them out.
Who loses?
- - The Homeowners - financial losses, bankruptcy, health issues, any nest egg, retirement plans and the loss of their primary residence leaving them homeless without possessions because all of their furniture has been condemned by the CPSC.
