I think sometimes we are too clinical. I remodelled a shower room a few
months back and came on here for advice as the walls were all over the
place, it was driving me insane. The advice given was `if it looks right
then it is ok` so I followed advice and although if I use a spirit some
walls are out of plumb it actually looks ok.

Its a balancing act if some of your walls were out of plumb before and you
never noticed then dont fret about it. I take the view nowadays that I
made an improvement, it may not be perfect but it is better than what it
was.


A problem arises when you have to get 2 (or 3) doors (1 sliding) and a wall
aligned in a square format. I pretty much gave up and spread the errors.
