Appreciation post: the $6 tube of painter's caulk that saved my 1930s trim
I was about to rip out the original window casing in my hallway because of a half inch gap where the plaster had crumbled, and a guy at the Ace in Pawtucket told me to stop and just fill it with caulk and paint. Turns out most of that gap was old settling, not rot, and I saved myself a weekend of trim work plus maybe $80 in new boards. What small fix have you almost skipped because you thought the problem was way bigger than it was?
