Ack! I knew I forgot something! Ok, just kidding... As I explained in my long-winded initial post, there is a front door, but it is not pictured on the Sketchup model and is just hidden by the bad angle. There are missing windows because I started using Sketchup after the first two layers were built and never got around to putting them in.
Below are some updated WIP photos.

Just got the 5th floor base cut. Next is to cut windows for the 4th floor and then start cutting the foam board walls for the 5th floor.
The clamp that can be seen on the back is keeping the floor I chopped in half in place while it dries. There was a significant warpage issue with the 4th floor base and I took drastic measures and sliced it in half. This will be the last time I ever use 1/4" plywood. I've now replaced the warped half with 1/4" MDF from Home Depot. It seems like it has a much less tendency to warp and is much closer to 1/4" thick than the plywood counterpart - plus it cuts much nicer. Using MDF for the floors would have saved me several hours of block trimming. Anyway, lesson learned...
