Windows and bathroom

I discovered the section plane tool in sketchup ... in which one can take a slice through an object & see how it looks inside.  Like this:

 

 

These are 4' high windows with the top at 6'8" (head height).  They are a little too tall to fit next to the stair landing, so either it has to drop a little or the window has to come up.   That is a detail that would be hard to arrange in the house drawing program though.

 

The north side with these windows ...

 

 

And the SW corner ...

 

 

Also, it dawned on me that the west wall on the lower floor doesn't have to be solid.   After all, the east wall has a 16' span for the garage door.   If they can build that (and there is every reason to think so, since such walls happen often), I should be able to poke a bunch of holes in the other wall -- which let's me put much of the bathroom & a closet for the bedroom in that space, like this:

 

 

Much nicer, imho.
