Chinese Drywall Pondering

[Jeff Goddard]

Ok, I am puzzled about the Chinese Drywall problem, issue or hazard....I just discovered the subject as the topic of several posts....  

I had not heard of Chinese Drywall until today so far as I can remember.  The really interesting thing to me is in my experience as a building inspector for two decades and a drywall installer and all around construction type for many years prior to that I never encountered the subject....  I also became a state approved asbestos consultant a couple of years ago...  

I was pretty sure I did not know many things but this is something I didn't know I didn't know....  Well it's never too late to acquire knowledge so if any of my fellow BP members can enlighten me I would be grateful....  From what I have read the wiring and AC systems are thought to be impacted by the dreaded Chinese Drywall issue....  Thank any in advance for enlightening me...
