        "text": "In the Denver metro area, indoor humidity drops significantly, especially during winter heating months. Wood materials such as solid hardwood trims, face frames, and plywood boxes naturally expand and contract as moisture levels fluctuate. Before finish carpentry starts in Denver or Aurora homes, raw trim and cabinets should acclimate inside the climate-controlled residence for several days. If woodwork is installed straight from a cold delivery truck, joints can pull apart or caulk lines can crack as the wood dries out. Proper acclimation and flexible, paintable sealants help prevent winter gaps.",
