I assume it means to add continuous shim material behind the casing trim.

It could mean "Mother-Daughter"....some municipalities allow a home to be a two family dwelling in terms of separate living quarters only if it is occupied by family members...in other words...it is often (but not always) restricted from being rented out .....it is designed to allow extended family members to live in the same dwellingÂwith privacy. Most M-DÂs have the lion's share of the house as one unitÂand a much smaller portion as the second unitÂ...either as a small studio apartment or a one bedroomÂand may or may not have a separate entrance. As these homes appear to be single family, my bet is on the mother/daughter configuration...they are very popular in NY and NJ.

Sorry that you are having so much trouble with this guy. Any chance that you can have someone else install the counter tops? I am guessing the "owner/delivery guy" is the one who sold you the cabinets and is installing the counter-top? You can deduct the cost of the door from what you pay him, BUT if he can put a lien on your house, then you will end up in small claims court. We ended up firing our contractor before the basement was finished, but our lawyer said to just pay him anyway - cheaper than going to court. (Lawyer is my FIL, so I trust him!) So you might be better off just hiring someone else to finish the job and pay for a replacement door. I would replace the door just so you and DH don't have to look at the dings every day and re-live the hassle every time you see it. That can get old. Best of luck for a smooth finish to your kitchen remodel.

Yes, it means the original element -- chair foot, chair leg, table leaf, etc. -- was replaced and so isn't original, which affects the value of a piece. Here are several examples where the term is explained as "replaced"; in the second link, it's explained like this: "Please note that although we do not normally note the fact that Feet are original, in this instance- given that early chairs such as this often have ended out ( replaced) feet-- we would like to state that the feet are indeed original. Please see image 6 for detail of front right foot", https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/14960290_1-black-painted-queen-anne-heart-and-crown-arm-chair http://kenoauctions.com/january-22-2013/lot-1/ With chairs, replacement was necessary because of general wear. With table leaves, replacement would happen because they were (still are...) often stored away from the table much of the time, often carelessly, and could warp, change color, be lost/forgotten/mislaid especially when time came for sale, etc.
