Here is a working link to a similar story about the SAME Homeowner (Robin Ely) in the Herald Tribune.

Guess somebody is catching up on their reading. Yes articles about this homeowner's "woe" are from September 2009 and archieved at the Desert Sun already. The article was "fresh" when Brian made this topic post.

Here is the promised (and still working as of today anyway) link to the Herald Tribune: In a desert town's walls, an even deeper mystery | | HeraldTribune.com (http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20090918/ARTICLE/909181039/-1/NEWSSITEMAP)


Basically its rather mysterious supposedly tests for "chinese drywall" were negative - yet a chemical reaction is still taking place with sample materials, including wood products - suspect is violation of California's restrictions on Formaldehyde contaminates, since off-gasing reactions can cause similar dark deposits on copper and other metals, and as most of us know, are a health/environmental concern (and if you don't, its the reason thousands upon thousands of manufactured homes sat idle, undistributed and unused post-Katrina. The homeowner featured in both articles (the one you have to now pay to read, and the free one I'm linking to that hasn't been archived YET) was losing her home to foreclosure, and IIRC so were several other homeonwers also interviewed and complaning about their health problems and related copper corrosion/chemical smell/health concerns.
