I will show you the steps I went through to construct an old saw mill. I will not go into detail on HOW I created it. I will just show u the stages I did it in. Every completed stage is saved in a prefab file ( You can load .pfb files into MOHRadiant from File -> Load prefab... ).
I started by having an idea of what I wanted. Just building blind is seldom a good idea.
Try to think like an architect: Build the house functionally ( A large, thin second floor will need a support under it. If not it will collapse under its own wheight.) If a house is built without logic, people will notice. Most people have extensive experience of what houses look like :-).
