Repair of 'Chinese drywall' dwellings

For those of you following this issue, on 4/02/2010, the US Consumer Products Safety Commission released information about their recommendations for the repair of dwellings with suspected ‘problem drywall’ … commonly known as "Chinese Drywall."

In simple terms, the recommendation is to totally gut-to-studs the interior of affected dwellings including drywall, electrical and plumbing, and re-build.

The web site below has more information, including symptoms and history of the issue:
