There are materials that will do this, remove the trim and seal the wood on bottom and sides, then re-apply the trim....

I was fortunate that most of the expenses I had could be trimmed without any real impact to quality of life (no medical bills, no children, etc).

for example my building is brand new and it has all low flow valves and trim in the bathroom - this is normal..... 

I have taken the trim off where necessary, removed the planks until I get to the damaged one, replaced it and reinstalled all the others back to where they were.

Medium renovation, new paint inside and outside, new trim, new water heater, new cabinets, new shower, new flooring, replaced appliances with new/used.

I can do most of it remotely, but there are times where I really need someone on the ground to run an errand for me, like meet the utility company and show them where the trees need trimming near the power lines, to drain the water heater, etc. 

I am trying to find repair estimates for these items for a 1880sq Home cape style home. these are the items im looking to get a quote- Roof trims need repair–there are signs of seeping near the skylight windows second floor–adjustable lollies need to be replaced with cement lollies–garage is in need of foundation repairs.

I stop by once in the spring to trim bushes and mulch if necessary but that is it.  

Updates: New appliances, all new trim and paint throughout, new carpets throughout, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen.

Added vinyl windows, vinyl exterior trim (soffit, facia, some exterior walls, carport ceiling), new architectural roof, new cabinets and granite in kitchen, new fixtures and cabinets/tops as well as tile in baths.
