A year and a half ago I had an old 2story house moved onto our place by a professional housemoving company. When they were done and gone, I noticed that apparantly, although the new foundation was square and level, the old one that the house had been sitting on for 100 years wasnt...lots of doors didn't line up right, shut correctly, etc...two french doors that opened onto the sun porch were misaligned by over an inch where they latched together, for example.
