In old houses, what are the vertical slats of wood called behind the drywall?

I was just noticing on Flip it shows where you fix up homes and resell them, that many old houses have vertical slats of wood behind the drywall. What are those wood pieces or slats of wood called? Thanks so much. I meant horizontal, not vertical. I know they aren't called studs. Thank you all for your answers.

What types of companies sell stuff from old houses?

I am working on restoring the old charm of my house and wanted to get door hardware, doors, radiator covers etc. that match the period in which my house was built. I know that there are companies that sell stuff collected from houses that are being renovated, but I don't know what they are called. If I had a name for them then I could seek them out in the Yellow pages... 'Antique shop' turns up places that sells antique knick-naks and artwork which I don't want.

What does it mean when a lumber houses settle?

I am doing a research project for school that deals on energy efficiency for houses. When coming across an article on that dealt with the differences of concrete/foam block houses, the writer stated that "concrete will not settle over time as lumber homes sometimes do,". Which made me question just what his statement meant. So, if anyone could please explain what this mean I would be grateful.

Are foreclosed houses a good buy for someone wanting to purchase a home?

I notice there are always many houses available for sale that have been foreclosed. The houses in many cases are practically being given away at cheap prices. I have seen them as low as $9,000 in some areas. Are foreclosed houses good buys for those really wanting to purchase a home. But, aren't the richest people in america?

How are all of my friends buying houses and it seems impossible for me?

Seriously, some are jobless, some don't have any money in the bank, some have less-paying jobs than mine! They are getting these houses and loans and all that but I though you had to have 10-20% of the total loan in the bank to get a loan?? What is the deal? What do they know that I don't? I make more money, am more responsible and I'm actually saving for it but it's like they can just go get a house on a whim with no problem.

How can i find out what other houses in my neighborhood are worth?

I've seen websites before that offer satellite pictures of houses and you can click and see how much they are worth and other details of the house. Does anyone know the URL of a website/s like this?
