What shocks me and is a common practice is to install interior door
jams with no nails in the jam. Staples in the jam moldings hold it
all in place. They don't need no stinkin shims.

Thats common practice on most new homes today. The rough openings are
very tight and they nail right to it then hold it together with the
casement trim. I still do it the old fashion way. shim shim shim...

They'll hold together ok for a year or so... just until the warranty's
over. Even if the guy doesn't do the repairs, it saved time on the
install, right?
