Hi Et,
A new shed sounds nice.
I figured out that 4th D glitch. The house walls are about 2 feet thick, the nose was in the doorway. :)
Getting it out was an exercise in geometry, just not sure what type. :D It involved raising and lowering kayak ends, making a 90 degree turn in a 12x12 room, a stairwell and a kitchen window.

I skinned and painted it outside.
