Any of you guys tried to install pre-hung doors when walls aren't level and
plumb? What a pain in the ass. Installed 5 and they took forever. I have
never seen a house this bad. Nothing is square or plumb and I get to
install the kitchen cabinets too. Oh I can't wait!! I wonder if the framers
even used a level?

I lived in a house like that for 30 years. The back wall of the
carport was out of plumb 1.5 inches from top to bottom. When I
enclosed the carport, I ripped 2x4's into long shims to have vertical
studs for hanging the finish wall.

There was also some plumbing that repeatedly clogged - the drains had
no slope.

Probably not too bad a job of building from people who were
structurally illiterate - not knowing square, plumb, or level.
