For Lack of a Better Name
Remodeling the back room and found lots of minor issues (like walls not square, siding directly on studs) we mostly could work around. However, when we were installing a door, my friend found the worst problem: he was hammering in a support plate for the studs and the entire wall moved out about an inch. I went outside and was able to push it back in.

We both walked around the room looking for anchors and found none. That's right! The entire room was floating on it's concrete slab!

Fixed the issue and $150 later ($50 for bolts, $50 for plates, and $50 for drill rental) I now have more peace of mind.
