Hello!
In my apartment, the floor is slanted because the house has settled a bit. It's not much, maybe 0.5-1 cm per meter. Anyway, I'm planning to build a wall in the kitchen. On the wall, I will mount kitchen cabinets and a fan, among other things. The question is whether the wall should be completely vertical despite the slanted floor. I also think the ceiling is slanted since the whole house has tilted somewhat.
I see two problems:
* If I build the wall completely vertical, it might look crooked in relation to the floor and ceiling. Additionally, there could be a gap between the wall and countertops at the top.
* If I build the wall with the same slant as the floor and ceiling, theoretically, the doors might open by themselves because the wall is slanted.
Any tips/suggestions?
Best regards,
/Anders

Where is the limit? How many meters? Already after 2 meters, it is noticeable from a distance, and if you've done it yourself, you'll just keep bothering yourself that it's crooked. Build straight. Later on, you might want to fix the rest of the apartment, and then you'll probably regret that you didn't make it straight.

Becoming slightly curious about which house manufacturer and which contractor. Maybe the same less smart carpenter who set up our house. It's unfortunate if the installers don't have the overall picture and don't realize that in the end, it's important how the walls are originally assembled. When I pointed it out, I got a nonsense answer about how it's wood and it's a living material..... As if that was a surprise, if it's so "living" that the walls can't be set straight, then some practice might be needed beforehand.
