The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Says It’s Vital US Homeowners With Knauf Chinese Drywall Get Identified — Now

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Says It’s Vital US Homeowners With Knauf Chinese Drywall Get Identified — Now












Washington, DC (Vocus) March 25, 2010

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, “because Knauf may be the only Chinese drywall defendant that actually settles with its effected US homeowners, it is critically important we get as many homeowners identified, particularly in sub divisions ASAP.” The group says, “our biggest worry is homeowners living in subdivisions that are known to have Chinese made drywall called Knauf-have this deadline on ignore, or don’t understand that a failure to act-may likely result in the homeowner getting little to no money to repair their home. This is especially true where the homebuilder is bankrupt, or they are out of business.” The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is urging neighbors in subdivisions, or neighborhoods-where Chinese made drywall called Knauf has been identified-to email this press release to their neighbors—its that important. For more information please contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

What are the symptoms, or indicators of toxic Chinese Drywall? The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “in Florida, the US Southeast, Virginia, or other states known to have toxic Chinese drywall, the four biggest symptoms/indicators of toxic Chinese drywall we hear are, air conditioning coil failures, failed electrical appliances/flickering lights, black copper, combined with health side effects that include non stop upper respiratory problems, to severe headaches, to nose bleeds, to all sorts of strange rashes.” But what about that sulphur smell? The group says, “Some homes have the sulphur smell, some do not. We do not think that the smell of sulphur is necessarily the best indicator for toxic Chinese drywall. We think a far better indicator for homes, at least in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Southeast Texas, Mississippi, Virginia, the Carolina’s or other humid, warm states are air conditioning coil failures, electrical problems, combined with all, or some of the homeowner’s family are sick. The time lines are 2001 to early 2009.” For more information, homeowners can contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Note: To discover if a home has toxic Chinese drywall in it–it might be as easy as seeing what is written on the back of the drywall in a homes attic.

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is calling toxic Chinese drywall, “the absolute worst environmental disaster for US homeowners ever. Even more tragic, President Obama has yet to mention toxic Chinese drywall in public one time. Just as bad-the US Consumer Products Safety Commissions efforts thus far have been a joke.” Even more insulting the group says, “last week FEMA informed the State of Florida that toxic Chinese drywall does not qualify as a disaster? If toxic Chinese drywall in US homes is not a disaster—what is? Homes/real estate with toxic Chinese drywall are worth close to zero–how is this not a disaster?”

If a homeowner has discovered a specific type of Chinese drywall in their home called Knauf, the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center will come to your subdivision to check as many homes as possible to see who else has it. For more information homeowners can contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

AP9 HomeWorks Plus Says, “A Healthy Plant Is a Happy One”

AP9 HomeWorks Plus Says, “A Healthy Plant Is a Happy One”











Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) July 24, 2007

AP9 HomeWorks Plus, a leading membership discount program from Adaptive Marketing LLC, gives its members tricks and tips on how to keep houseplants healthy and happy. It doesn’t take a green thumb to keep plants flourishing, but it does take patience and common sense.

AP9 HomeWorksPlus reminds members that although every plant is slightly different, following some general rules of thumb — not necessarily green ones — can lead to great-looking plants. AP9 HomeWorks Plus suggests the following tips for keeping indoor plants strong, healthy and thriving:


Reverse the rot. Most plants need a lot of moisture, so it’s a good idea to set the plant in a dish of water periodically. This way, it can take water up through the soil and roots. This is most important to prevent rotting in the leaves and stems.

Less is more. Don’t over-water. Most plants need time to dry out between waterings. Just think of it as moderation for a plant.

There’s no place like home. When possible, create an environment for a plant that most closely mirrors its conditions in the wild. And when it comes to simulating that environment, be sure to ask a florist or horticulture specialist for specific plant care needs. Almost every plant is different, and simple trial-and-error may lead to frustration. In short, ask the pros. They know.

Feed ‘em and reap. Make sure to give plants the correct plant food. For many plants, watering is just not enough. They need the right combination of both. Just like people, the best-looking and healthiest plants usually have the best-balanced diets.    

Super-size it. Keeping certain plants more potbound (actually a little too big for their pots) might actually make for better flowering. Additionally, pinching the tips of the plant can foster more growth, making them grow bushier and fuller.

AP9 HomeWorksPlus offers these tips so that indoor plants might brighten up a dreary winter day, accentuate the perfect spring morning, provide some hope for a dried-out summer lawn — even complement a predominantly rust-colored fall landscape with a splash of brighter colors. Celebrating all the seasons with flowering houseplants is easy — with a little help from AP9 HomeWorks Plus.

AP9 HomeWorksPlus is a leading membership discount program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC. Headquartered in Norwalk, Conn., Adaptive Marketing is a category leader in membership programs, bringing value direct to consumers through an array of benefits in healthcare, discounts, security, personal property and personals.

Summer Trend Alert: Toolbelt Diva Says Toolbelts are in

April 30, 2011 admin Special Home Improvement Features

Summer Trend Alert: Toolbelt Diva Says Toolbelts are in










(PRWEB) June 3, 2005

Norma Vally “struts” into her second season as Toolbelt Diva this June, sporting one of this summer’s must-have accessories for women—a toolbelt! This season, Vally doles out trendy toolbelts to 10 “honorary divas,” who eagerly accept Norma’s expertise and help with their home-repair troubles. The second season of Toolbelt Diva premieres on Friday, June 3, at 9 PM.

The charismatic construction expert continues her quest to empower women everywhere with the confidence to pick up a power drill, hammer, wrench or any tool necessary to complete long-standing, unfinished projects in their homes. Norma’s can-do attitude has proven to be contagious, as the women’s do-it-yourself movement has caught fire nationwide. Norma has led the way for a pack of female home improvement pros to steal the spotlight in a male-dominated field and has been hailed for helping women take over the home improvement domain.

Each episode of Toolbelt Diva chronicles the two-day interaction between Norma and a protégé, from their first meeting to diagnose the home improvement project they will tackle, to a shopping excursion for supplies, to Norma and the home owner putting the finishing touches on their handiwork.

Norma returns to Seattle for the first half of Toolbelt Diva’s second season, assisting female home owners with projects ranging from replacing a leaky kitchen faucet, sink and garbage disposal, to providing a cosmetic overhaul to a backyard pool area, to securing a single woman’s home by replacing window locks and installing motion-sensor lighting outside.

The second city Toolbelt Diva visits during season two is Los Angeles, where Vally spreads her enthusiastic can-do message to weary, first-time home improvement novices. In Los Angeles, Norma’s renovation expertise spans the home improvement spectrum as she guides one home owner through reviving her front porch, helps another extend and expand a backyard deck, then provides guidance for another who wants and needs to replace laminate flooring that’s nearly 30 years old. Norma even finds time to help an animal lover build a doggie duplex for her (rescued) canine companions.

Toolbelt Diva is produced for Discovery Home Channel by Screaming Flea Productions. Liza Keckler is the producer. For Discovery Home Channel, Sue Norton is the executive producer.

Discovery Networks, U.S., a unit of Discovery Communications, Inc., operates and manages the Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, the Travel Channel, Discovery Health Channel, Discovery HD Theater, Discovery Kids Channel, Discovery Times Channel, The Science Channel, Discovery Wings Channel, Discovery Home Channel, Discovery en Español and FitTV. The unit also distributes BBC AMERICA.
