Hiya Wayne and thanks! 
good to hear from a Modo master (you). Those gaps between the windowframes are kinda intentional as you often see that in real life, hardly ever are the gap perfectly gone, there's always a minor gap due to tree expansion due to moist and other factors. But if it looks better when the gaps closed as you said then i might just do that thanks for the tip.
A render will come eventually, not yet tho.. first i wanna fill this scene with some more models to make it a bit more interesting to look at. It's kinda dry at the moment..
but modeling like this takes longer than with nurbs, you have to do so much extra work with bevel on every single edge and aagh it gets frustrating after a while hehe
Here's a update showing more of how i'm planning this.. the windows are halfway open, there'll be some sorta flowerpot in the open window, i'll model some gardening tools or similar stuff and place them outside the window near the watertap, there'll be some sorta chair or sofa there too.. i guess. And other things might pop up later on, i haven't quite yet decided where to take this but i'll do one thing at a time.

i can't just use one single program, that would be a serious creative restriction, the more the merrier 
and i'm concerned i won't be able to finish it as Modo has some serious issues handling a large number of objects and detailed models. Right now i'm completly outta ram and if i will finish tihs as planned then i gotta ditch half the geometry
