        "text": "In the Denver metro area, seasonal humidity swings between dry winters and rainy or snowy periods cause wood and drywall to expand and contract. If window casing is installed without accounting for framing movement, miters can separate, and caulk beads can crack along the drywall line. Acclimating solid wood trim to the home's indoor climate for at least 48 hours prior to installation minimizes joint separation. Utilizing flexible, high-grade acrylic elastomeric caulk prevents visible gaps as outdoor temperatures and indoor moisture levels fluctuate throughout the year.",
