The facing trim can be taken off carefully on each side exposing the rope and weights.

You could just pop off trim and see what the gap looks like.

(not the more challenging drywood termites)From what I see in the pics, other than the trim section you show, there probably isn't anything that actually needs repair if you can stop the infestation.

New kitchen/appliances/kitchen floor, fresh paint throughout, ceiling and trim work repairs, replaced galvanized plumbing, new hot water heater, new garage door opener, new carpet, new interior door handles, hardwood floors buff and coated, and various city required repairs.

For all materials and labor on all systems, plumbing, electrical, drywall, trim, paint, flooring, appliances, fixtures, $10k-$12k per bathroom. $12-$15k for a kitchen. $6k for a room with no plumbing.

I will be replacing some trim and siding and doing some landscaping. 

. $1/ft and it won't take probably an hour, maybe 2 if they use mitre/trim shears.

At 11:30 my wife arrived, she mowed the front lawn and I trimmed the shrubs.

The space for the refrigerator is custom trimmed around the fridge making it appear as "built-in."

I think a fresh paint job makes a significant difference and repainting the trim white!
