actually, it does. notice in your story: replaced with southern pine, which would be treated with toxic chemicals, not with ECOB or similar products. also, green products are getting blasted on the internet this week. read the pr's by timbersil - they look like Conboy wrote them, don't they?
as ECOB's product does not have a long track record either, it makes potential customers nervous.
so, yeah, i would say that it has something to do with ECOB, which was also used in several of the houses. the spotlight is on all the projects there now. it is not the end of the world for ECOB, but it does not help ECOB climb out of the very deep hole it finds itself in.
if Conboy did not have his crap together on those projects, ECOB will also be on the line.
remember, borates leach out of wood in moist conditions, like new orleans.
