Avoiding mold during construction

Mold-free model home

This is an interesting lead.

Mold grows on wood products when exposed to enough moisture, but many common building practices lead to moisture entering the building in a variety of ways. The paper that lines the drywall makes it a very likely mold site if there is enough moisture (as often there is). So what if it's a few extra bucks to spring for the paper-free drywall? The extra safety can make a big difference down the road.
