The answers are the same whether the house is in Winnipeg or Fargo. You
do all the big things right AND all the little things and none of these
things are secrets.
The big problem is that doing things right costs a little more money and
many builders will cut every corner if they are allowed to. They simply
do things to minimum code (or even lower if they know the inspectors are
slackers) and put some more money in their pocket.
