Standard practice. That little inside radius does your trim painter
a BIG favor, makes it easier for him to cut in without masking tape.


Standard practice for a hack, yes, not a skilled finish carpenter.


Usually baseboard is applied over drywall. Drywall is hung on studs. Studs
are put up by framing carpenters. I don't think it's necessary to comment
on the accuracy standards of a framing carpenter.
