        "text": "Coped joints provide a significantly tighter, longer-lasting inside corner than standard 45-degree miter cuts. Drywall corners in residential homes are rarely a true 90-degree angle, and framing moves slightly as homes settle. A mitered corner will pull apart and show visible gaps over time. A coped joint involves cutting one board square to the wall and back-cutting the adjoining piece to follow the profile contour perfectly, allowing the joint to stay closed even as walls shift or shrink.",
