the struggle is 100% real. you tweak one wall and it throws the rest 1/4" off...fix those and it throws the roof off. its some Chinese finger trap black magic kind of stuff.
my grandfather would harp on getting stuff square constantly. he was a seriously pro-level carpenter and his #1 time expenditure in new builds and renovations was either getting walls square or fixing floors/trim/sheetrock that required special cuts to accommodate a bunch of joints that were 1 or 2 degrees out of square. i didn't take it seriously back then...
i spent an inordinate amount of time on the camper getting the frame square for that reason and i STILL hit problems due to the wood being slightly warped or my math being garbage. just gotta roll with it.
