        "text": "Standard sheetrock is adequate for general living areas, but kitchens and bathrooms require moisture-resistant drywall, commonly known as green board or purple board. In wet areas, like behind sinks or near showers, moisture-resistant boards prevent mold and moisture absorption caused by high humidity. For walls supporting tiled surfaces, cement backer board must be used instead of regular gypsum board. When planning your bump-out, identifying the room’s moisture exposure beforehand determines the appropriate board grade and joint compound combination.",
