ORLANDO, Fla. - Two central Florida mainstream news sources, The Orlando Sentinel and WESH-NewsChannel 2, have been examining flaws in new homes for a year. They have now started reporting the results, and plan to do so for a 10-day period that started with an evening news broadcast Oct. 30.
According to Sentinel staff writer Dan Tracey, "The new homes of greater Orlando are riddled with problems large and small - everything from major cracks in the exterior walls to leaky windows and roofs; rooms that are too hot; and toilets that aren't even anchored to the floor."
