Warning: Low-VOC mud is stretching out my drying days

More builders are specifying low-VOC joint compound for green building points. It cuts down on harmful fumes, which is good for indoor air. But I've clocked it taking up to six hours longer to dry in cool weather. That extra time means I can't tape and sand as fast as usual.

Just add more fire to the room.

Ever hear about a space heater causing trouble? My buddy used one last winter and it almost set his carpet on fire, which totally fits with @michael669's joke about adding more fire. Just a heads up to watch where you plug those in.
