Working on my wife's Ford flex had me battling many hex holding fasteners. And on the passengers side i forgot to tighten the nut that holds the strut to the strut mount, and didn't realize it until after it was knocking up and down 1/2" during the test drive. I was able to rectify this...

My house is old, built in 1900 if what the realtor says is true. The basement isn't very "tall" if you'd like, the steam pipes are in the way, i hit my head all the time on lightbulbs ( mercury :) ) etc. the floor joists barely clear my head ( i'm 6' tall ) the floor appears to be large stones...
