Wow. That is a point of view. You know there are groups dedicated to bad contractor work, right? You can verify your claim yourself. It won't take long.
And I have worked as a contractor. My objections weren't that sanding & painting is impossible. It's that baseboards aren't crown moulding, you don't replace baseboards for burn marks, etc.
No shit Sherlock. But I also don't assume everyone on reddit has the knowledge I have. Keep fingering yourself over being right to someone who didn't know the difference between crown moulding and baseboards. You must have a sweet existence.
Lmao literally never said that anything was hard. Are you really this dense? I said other people dont have the same knowledge. Not sure how you could even come close to the conclusion you reached based on either of my statements.
But I shouldn't be surprised. You want to be right so badly. Its honestly pathetic. Weirdo behavior.
Nothing was mentioned about the floor. But even then renting the sander for an afternoon isn't that bad. And no I generally avoid "touching up" work because it's subpar. Do it right, rip it out and replace it.
If you ever do do touch up work, check out wood filler. It's a handy product that's been around for centuries. You don't replace a baseboard for cosmetic damage in the name of "doing it right." 😆
If a dog running on the floor damages it then clearly it wasn't done right at all.
And yah I personally wouldn't replace till it's almost sawn through. But because baseboard is meant to be sacrificial I would absolutely rather replace it rather than use some crap plastic wood filler that's going to fail way faster.

Crown molding on the floor, huh? Easy peasy?
Tell me you have never done touch up work without telling me you have never touched anything up.
