Now look. WHY would a business with the success that the Morses have had jeopardize their good reputation with allowing installation of Chinese drywall or any other inferior drywall? They have their pick of builders and if those builders want to continue they know they had better do it right and employ subs who do it right.

When we had our walk through with our builder last year, he told us that he had been with Gary Morse for more than ten years. He also laughed and said that he didn't worry about workers showing up for work.

There have been no reports on here about defective smelly drywall and we are not a bunch of dimwits.

The developers have the luxury of contracting with builders and workers, primary and sub, who only have a history of good materials and workmanship. The Villages are selling houses at a decent rate, not many independent builders are nearly that successful in this dim economy.

There were some reports of defective roofing used on some of the homes in Hadley and those people were contacted this past summer and the roofs were replaced. I personally talked to one of them who is a friend. The roofing manufacturer contacted the owners directly and claimed responsibility.It was a large roofing manufacturer in Pennsylvania with a very recognizable name and I can't think of its name. (Big name like 3M) Apparently there was a bad run of roof shingles that was losing it's sand.

I still say that we here on TOTV would very likely have heard about any problem with drywall and it would be DISCUSSED.
