Pretty much.

Not to my knowledge, no, & no.

N/A

"Have to", I don't know; "did", some; "lived with it", some.

In some ways it's like software bugs...the walls & roof didn't leak, 
the power & plumbing basically worked (once one remembered the faucets 
were reversed in one bathroom); so since the basic functionality was 
not impaired, they lived with or learned to work around the problems.

FWIW, the house is in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, and is now worth in excess 
of six figures.
