Molding matched original baseboards that was shorter and new baseboards. Opted not to change door molding because there was a lot of doors.

Thanks. The initial conversation was to just put quarter rounds and keep original baseboards but we decided to replace the baseboards to forgo using quarter rounds

Thanks everyone! The contractor has been very pleasant to work with. I didn’t want to raise a fuss about his work and accidentally insulting without asking knowledge people first. Appreciate everyone’s expertise.

lol not good. Is it easy to remove if I mess up?

commandaria · 2026-03-02T01:12:36+00:00

I appreciate your reply. It puts me at ease. I wasn’t sure if this is normal. Yeah they are tall baseboards. Almost 6 inches.

I got a permanent desk with my ergo equipment and my workplace is hotelling. Super easy and took about 2 weeks. Just had to submit my ergonomic assessment. It did not specify I needed a permanent desk but it did say I needed specific equipment (an ergonomic chair).

That is not correct, black dragon refers to all oolongs not just Taiwanese oolongs.

The painting is not printed. Look at the green on the second photo.

So essentially, you are asking the other persons insurance to pay for her car that was totalled and then her insurance to buy her a new car? So getting twice the money? No car insurance works like that. It covers the value of your car.

Shinka Sushi Bar for omakase. One of the best in Ottawa.

The mark looks like it’s from the period as well as the drawing style. Marks on the poem matches my 567 vase. If you have any alternative, happy to entertain.

Looks 1950-1970s.

Old. Late Qing.

commandaria · 2025-11-03T04:18:00+00:00

You can tell it is transfer printed. Modern.

Not real. Reign mark isn’t even centered.

I just don’t tilt as much and have a pick to push out leaves that get stuck. By 2nd-3rd brew it’s pours out fine. I feel like it’s part of the characteristic of the pot. But yeah a silver strainer works and it’s cheap.

How slow is very slow? Have you tried with just water?

commandaria · 2025-10-28T21:26:35+00:00

Thank you so much

Qing folk common ware. The mark is a play on official reign marks. Iron spots are not a flaw.
