I’ve read many times how Buster Keaton’s famous house stunt required precise calculations. Obviously, this is a crazy stunt, but what calculations do you have to make to do that? If the house is gimmicked to fall apart, couldn’t he just have first laid the wall on the ground, mark the spot where the window was, then pull the wall up?

Congratulations! You answered your own question. Measuring things counts as calculations when you start adding and subtracting to figure out precisely where to stand to not get crushed by a stunt.
