A common mistake. The "hollow" keyword DOES NOT make an object hollow.
It is there purely for the purposes of the media feature (You will use
"hollow" when you need to use an object as a container for media.)

See:
http://www.students.tut.fi/~warp/povVFAQ/languageVFAQ.html#hollowobjects

 What you need to do is make a box the size you want your room,
difference a slightly smaller box (to define the thickness of
the walls) from the inside of that, and then use your "windows"
boxes to make the window openings.

Again See:
