Default How to build a room?

Plumb walls and square corners rate highest on my list. The other two will
pretty much follow if you pay attention to these two. If your corners
aren't square and walls aren't plumb installing a tub or shower will be
nearly impossible. Besides, if you use straight and true 2x4s for your top
and bottom plates and studs the walls should be a consistent thickness and
flat.

Out of these four characteristics which is most/least important when
roughing in a bathroom? Plan to use 1/2" drywall (or drywall and
beadboard) to cover the walls.

1. Plumb studs
2. Wall thickness consistent
3. Flat straight walls
4. Square corners
