hey doc g, if you want to challenge yourself, or embark on a proof of concept project, more power to ya.  that sort of thing can be fun.  but i stand by my statement that poser's modelling is still clumsy beyond belief, and not a viable choice for people who're not up for a challenge, considering that there are real modellers out there for free.  and she already has zbrush!  i am of the belief that one generally ought to use the best tool for the job, within one's financial limits.  i am forever sharpening people's knives in their kitchens too.  :)

good luck with your house!
