- model for back of the house 4' 3' x 3' x 3' x 4' or verbally, back of house (from L to R above) 4' from edge of house to window, window, x feet to next window, window, x feet to next window, window, 4 feet to edge of house. Note: windows are 3' so mathematically, you have 4+3+x+3+x+3+4 = 33 or 2x + 17 = 33 or 2x = 16 or x = 16 so windows should be 16' apart hope you can understand this
