        "text": "In the Denver and Aurora metro areas, dry indoor winter air and low relative humidity can cause drywall mud to dry rapidly along the edges while remaining damp underneath, potentially leading to shrinkage cracks if coats are rushed. In older Denver homes or settling split-levels across Arapahoe County, shifting foundations can also cause recurring seam cracks above door frames. Remodelers in this climate use durable fiberglass mesh or paper tape and control indoor temperatures to ensure joint compound cures evenly before texture and paint are applied.",
