I don't call them base boards because that is what I call those old garbage heaters that everyone still uses.. Just gigantic heat sinks that wastes a ton of energy, a ductless can be as cheap as $600, used can be free.. the installation is the hard part but only because you need to know how to use refrigerant, but most come already with the refrigerant, so you just need the proper tools to cut the pipes, fit the pipes and check suction pressure with gauges... but it saves you thousands in the winter/summer over time even if you have to get a refrigeration guy in.

Trim is cheap as balls, just gotta cut it with a table saw but ya if you remove that trim and bleach it should be fine. All houses have moisture in the walls, especially in the bathrooms so I usually remove mine every season cycle. The bottom of the drywall is always left open to allow the house to breathe.. If you got a good thin pry bar you can just remove the trim and keep nails on the trim then just clean the trim with a bit of bleach and water, dry then lightly hammer the trim back in same holes with a soft hammer or your palm. It can be kinda hard to get it tight and flush though so id just bleach the top bit and wait to see if it comes up again. Might be worth removing the trim to check though.

She misspoke once. Off with her head! Screw her 30 years of comedy genius and contributions to the art. Screw all that, she said a naughty thing by accident, what a witch! Burn the witch!
Ya well I didn't say off with her head. So whose over dramatizing really? Shes just a bit of a bitch.
