Sorry for going OT ..back to you regularly scheduled thread.
You want an exercise in frustration, take an apartment built in the 1940's and try hanging stripped wallpaper. You will find that it's possible for a room to have 4 walls where none are straight and neither the ceiling or floor are level (and they don't tilt the same way either) and the building does not collapse.
