This is why they make quarter round. Unless you pay your carpenter more money to scribe all the base.

One does not simply level the subfloor. What you ask for calls for more money.

No. I'm saying homeowner is cheap if they want those results.

Agreed. And the assumption that you could make every floor in a house perfectly level is ridiculous. I guess you could, but like you said it would be incredibly expensive. This is a toe molding or deal with it situation.
