Mike Boyette turned me on to your discussion. By tenure, I have spent 2.5 years studying and researching the Chinese Drywall issue. Since is a very evolving issue, I hesitate to say that I am an expert since I believe that no one is as the full breadth of the issue is not yet known including health studies and how to fully remediate it. However I have had an opportunity to review the course docs (not the cursory ones on the class advertisement flyer) and found them lacking. That is why I declined to back the class. Further I have told Batterbee that I would be happy to help construct such a class. He chose to go out of state...his perogative. My concern is that the flyer promises are all wrong; there are no certifications for this at all, the mexican connection is not confirmed per Mike Martin although the flyer and subsequent emails say so. It is not possible to go thru the course and come out a 'DRYWALL INSPECTOR'. These attendees need to realize that they have to 'keep up' with this evolving story because the last chapter is not yet written. No one knows all the answers and further the 'experts' are arguing about the ones that are 'known'. The last thing needed is a group of ill-equipped inspectors unleased on Texas homeowners who are already suffering with this really unbelievable malady.
