WUSA Channel 9’s DAVE STATTER (who also publishes the fire & rescue blog STATter911) has been doing on-the-air follow-ups on the escalating problem of “lightweight construction” of North American home building practices.

Before you read on, take a couple of minutes to view his televised report on the situation HERE.

Between their on-air interviews with the public and the newsroom’s persistent prodding of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) for comment, they have finally gotten the NAHB’s attention on the matter.

But the NAHB’s spokeswoman, instead of answering the questions, has only fueled the controversy by making some rather bizarre claims.

Read Dave’s report on the NAHB’s response and justifications at STATter911 HERE.

Firegeezer will chip in his two-cents worth on tomorrow’s Morning Lineup.
