I worked construction for a few summers, mostly new stuff but some renos. Sadly, almost all older homes walls are full of audities, mistakes and garbage (garbage makes great insulation, not).
In fairness rebuilding them often took some "creative engineering" - because assuming that homes are full of flat, level surfaces and right angles is a mistake.
