War zone, no. A lot of careful "but are you sure that's safe?", however, yeah.

This. Fucking flippers plus a worthless (and astonishingly overpaid) inspector wrecked our lives. Had to go deep into debt to fix their mistakes enough to sell, then live with family for five awful years saving up and paying down debt before we could buy again.

Still remember our proper contractor when he and one of his men were working on our masonry. All I could hear over their music was "this is not to American building standards at all! This is ridiculous!" repeated over and over at ascending volumes.
