Very nice, John!! One thing that bugs me though is being able to

Well, people could make floors.  I understand that's a little weird,

That will solve part of the problem, but since minifig homes often don't have
backs, you end up seeing right through the house.

Perhaps I could add glass to all the windows, then define the glass properties
in POV to reflect and refract the light beyond recognition.  Tips for doing
this are quite welcome.
