Such a lovely home to own having been built by RYLAND HOMES ORLANDO = Keith Bass builder -
WOW RYLAND promoted him "he did such a good CRAP job!!!!"
Our personal first hand experience and personal financial loss!
Infectious Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteria plus toxic black mold & toxic drywall contamination, water intrusion through leaking and cracked TCF stucco walls, windows and doors leaking water inside home, PLUS lot flooding at pool & patio area, several drywall stress cracks throughout the house appeared during those 10 months, doorway frames broke and pulled apart, cabinets and drywall cracked or split from wall stress/movement occurred in those ten months. Many times the house smelled like it was on fire, burning wood smell, smoke detectors' sounded frequently and finally failed completely by sounding 24/7, could only be stopped by removing batteries plus turning off electrical power. All new appliances failed in the first 10 months requiring repairs, 5 different computers failed in these same 10 months, many electrical plugs and switches failed, fireplace electrical failed, fireplace propane tank valve leaked/failed, pool motors failed, both A/C units failed (one inside upstairs coil replaced), smoke alarms failed, whole house music system failed, house is contaminated with toxic mold inside walls and under wood flooring, carpet, and tile. Did I say windows and doors leak water inside the house. Now second story floor joist has wood glue dripping from the structural beams which are producing urea formaldehyde gases inside this home. Second story floor now squeaks and you feel movement when walked on. Pool and patio cement cracked and leaking water under patio and under cement pool. Demands for lot flooding repair go unanswered. We moved out Jun 30, 2009! Paint and caulk covered many of these faults during home inspection Aug 2008!
MEDICAL: Loss of hearing; 2 persons has loss of hearing and small dog has total loss of hearing, loss of vision and blurred vision, bloody nose, blood seepage from ears, shortness of breath, colds with flu like symptoms, memory loss, was on antibiotics for more than 24 months. We had none of these health problems prior to moving into this house. Have not been able to cure the flu like symptoms or stop the skin growths/sores (do not have AIDS) that take up to six months to heal most leaving scares. The dog has skin growths that are requiring surgery to remove, some are getting dime size and bleed, she did not have these before moving into this house! Update: The dog died September 2010 from brain cancer and multiple respiratory and skin cancer growths. Contamination caused much loss of personal property. Have been out of this house longer than we lived in it and are still having chronic nose, throat, and ear infections with low grade fever.
UPDATE:
December 2011 diagnosed with continuing infectious Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteria from this toxic house which almost killed my family!! February 2012 still dealing with health issues from this toxic house.
I GIVE WARNING TO ANYONE THAT ENTERS THIS TOXIC HOUSE. due to the toxic exposure while in this house. Lot and pool flooding still not repaired by fraudulent HOA owners responsible.
Local Realtors declined "for sale listing" saying this home is a liability and has no $$ value due to contamination and the many needed repairs that were under Ryland's Home Warranty but denied this home owner. Leaking TCF stucco repair cost exceeded $150,000 alone and does not include the toxic mold and bacteria contamination.
Ryland's written new homeowner warranty claims and our homeowner insurance claims remain denied - REPAIRS NOT MADE.

Ryland Group Inc., sold "Windsong at Leesburg HOA" January 2009; HOA is responsible for the lot flooding problem at 26010 Meadow Breeze Lane, Leesburg, FL. Lot floods with most all rain storms. Lots of water and mud runs into pool, under concrete pool and onto and under concrete patio. NEW HOA has continued to refuse lot repair.
Our Photos show our pool & patio flooded with muddy water during a Jun 2009 rain storm.
The flooding photos shown below proves flooding complaints occurred: flooding began Aug 2008 through present.
Lake County Florida attorney:
Code enforcement failed to provide support for construction defects or flooding problems.
NOTE: water ran from behind electrical plug = house has toxic mold & Chinese drywall?! Lot flooding into house and pool.
Toxic blackened coils growing sulfuric acid at new weld joints shortly after repairs were made by GE March 2009.
All new appliances failed within 10 months. Ryland denied many of our home warranty claims made in writing.

NOTE: Many of the Ryland controlled websites linked below have been removed as of September 2011.
water leaks: video no longer available see video and read complete report.
drywall: click this link to see video and read complete report.
One drywall brand wet from water leaks, was USG branded drywall and was toxic and had fecal matter in it too;
Where did fecal matter come from? Power plants using waste water effluent in US made drywall= fecal matter?
Our research on reasons for toxic/mold in wet drywall:
DOE document on the use of waste water: FGD mixed with waste water efluent.pdf
Who monitored where all the test gypsum went and what products it was used in? Unknown source drywall?
Is it thought that drywall products will never get wet since higher levels of algae are allowed in the flu gas gypsum used to make USA drywall?
It is also reported that high levels of prescription drugs taken & flushed into household sewers are showing up in waste water treatment plants!The anaerobically digested-municipal sewage sludge is being used to make our U.S. made drywall? All in the name of profit! Health cares = none! Drywall with fecal matter in it!

Thanks CPSC but Who PAYS for these suggested repairs?
Was still under 1 year written warranty by RYLAND HOMES not worth paper written on!.
Nothing has been said about our health problems from this contaminated house either!
Ryland home warranty and our homeowners insurance denied our claims for repairs, then BOA cancelled our home insurance policy = Why? Because I refused to sign off on a MOLD CONTAMINATION $10K check and give it to BOA?
Who pays for these suggested repairs = ***** NOT ME ***** "This house was under builder warranty"!

* My Question = Who pays? The owner out of pocket?
Was still under 1 year written warranty by RYLAND HOMES not worth paper written on!.
Why should I pay for these repairs in a new Ryland built home? My Ryland HUD 1 statement exceeded $345K
My health is of greater importance! *
