My offer stands: email me your sources and I'll render your animation 
using a few 8-cores and a dozen dual-cores :)

Thank you very much for the offer, but I managed to tie some of my own computers
together, and, using school resources, got it to render a lot quicker.  I posted
the 20 second animation on youtube, at the folowing location:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PekTXAfhQY

I admit it fell victim to Youtube's compression system, but that animation shows
of my entire house, including a few unrealistic passing through walls and glass.

I managed to do a trick with frames so that the roof only apears after you
enter, and therefore could do a drop into a room.

I will be duplicating this message in the animation section as well, but though
I should include a copy in the thread of this project.

As always, comments are welcome and greately appreciated.

What you can do is use interior_texture for your roof/ceiling. Use 
pigment{Clear} for the outside and the current ceiling texture inside.
