Tell us what’s happening:

Having trouble with #42 "Your windows should be placed below your #roof and at least higher than one third of your #door’s height.” My windows are below the roof, and they are higher than my door. What am I doing wrong?

Here’s what I’m reading.

You need to move each of your windows up by at least one third of the height of your door element.

There’s a way to manually move an element up by using offsets. I’m pretty sure that’s what is being referred to here.

It ended up being the “bottom”:

#window-1 {
  background-color: white;
  width: 100px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  position: absolute;
  top: 115px;
  **bottom: 60px;**
  left: 70px;
  z-index: 4;
}

#window-2 {
  background-color: white;
  width: 100px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  position: absolute;
  top: 115px;
  **bottom: 60px;**
  left: 350px;
  z-index: 4;

I’ve edited your post to improve the readability of the code. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
