Jim Walter Homes/Mid State Homes
Moldy lumber used by Jim Walter Homes in constructing our new home

After reading all of the letters pertaining to the building practices of Jim Walter Homes, we thought we would share our story. Jim Walter Homes delivered the lumber for our home several weeks before they began construction and left it stacked uncovered in rainy weather the entire time.

When they began framing our home, I noticed many of the 2x10's and 2x6's were moldy. I began writing letters to J.W.H. And, on the advise of their framers, began spraying bleach to kill the mold. The mold did not die and J.W.H. Only responded by telling us everything was fine.

In January of we received reports that our molds are toxic and harmful to our infant son. We have been out of our home ever since. We are making payments on a home we cannot live in and J.W.H. Is fighting us all of the way. We do not have cash to fight them, but, we have credit.

We are using our credit to take Jim Walters to arbitration. We have already charged $4,000.00 to develop our case against Jim Walters and I have no intentions of stopping. If we lose, we will lose fighting.

To help us fight, please let us know if the lumber for your J.W. H homes was delivered early and allowed to sit in the rain. We have been told that they do this because their salesmen can count their sales when the lumber is delivered and therefore receive their commissions.
