        "text": "In the Denver metro area, seasonal humidity drops sharply during dry winters and rises during summer storm periods. Wood trim naturally expands and contracts in response to these swings. Basement finish carpentry in this climate demands proper material acclimation inside the heated home before installation. Carpenters must also leave precise expansion gaps at baseboard perimeters and door jamb bottoms above concrete slabs. Without accounting for these regional humidity variations and the movement of floating basement walls, door frames can bind and mitered joints may pull apart over time.",
