Nothing's flat or level in this house. It probably wasn't when it was
new (peasant's cottage) and now one of the upstairs floors has a 1 in 10
slope!

On the walls - I don't try to make things level. I make them parallel to
the floor or ceiling (if close) or half way between. On the walls with
exposed vertical timbers pictures are hung to line up with the timbers.

I think my worst is about 1 in 20. Otherwise, snap. Rotating head laser
is excellent for this, I had a cheapie which has more or less died.
Don't need to do much DIY now, trying to pluck up courage to invest £100
+ in a better one.
