More cool pics Sam!
The middle three are of the room in the one-story ell closest to the two-story section, right? I think there is a door behind the screen to the left of the fireplace. The door can be seen in the Cloth of Gold episode when the police officer talks to Danno on the phone near the fishtanks. It would allow movement between the rooms without going outside. The room it connects to is shown in another H5O episode, but I don't recall the name. I think you posted pictures of it too.
I think the bedroom is the same one where Akamai is found dead in Cloth of Gold, no?
I'm going to have to make some changes to my model now that I've seen these. Are there any other interesting shots?

Thanks Sam!
The room in the first picture has a small balcony facing the water, not a lanai, and your right about it being shown in No Need to Know. The second pic with McGarrett is definitely a lanai, but it also faces the water on one side. The door does looks toward the backyard, though.
These pictures are so much brighter and clearer than the video clips you posted a while back. They allow me to much better estimate distances in locating windows and doors on my model.

Hey Sam,
I do have the door below the red arrow in my model. I drew it as double doors leading to the dining room. I'm uncertain if it is a single door or double doors, though. The door directly behind McGarrett, I think, is an elevator. This is speculation, but it lines up perfectly with a similar door on the second floor and it is in the stair hall. It could even go down to the basement as well. I toured a Spanish Colonial revival estate in the Santa Barbara area that is now a national historic landmark. It had an elevator directly adjacent to the stairs in a very similar manner. It's called Casa Del Herrero and it was completed in 1925, just eight years before Pahonu. There are many other similarites as well.

Hey Sam
You should really check out the model. I'm sure James could help you if you're having trouble viewing it. Thanks for the confirmation pictures. I'm fairly certain those double doors lead to the dining room. They are also pocket doors as with much else of the house. You can tell because the handles are flush rather than knobs that wouldn't slide in.
I do have the two side doors under the stairway on my model. The one to the right is just a closet, but the one to the left is a staircase to the basement following a path below the main stair. I don't remember who posted it, maybe you, but one episode of H5O shows a man with a gun coming out from the basement stair door.
It's funny, I remember Kono breaking the door in at the top of the stairs to get into a bedroom near the end of Cloth of Gold. The scene cut to another room, I suppose, because the second picture shows the door swings out as you can clearly see the hinges on the left. It might just be another closet, but I'm sticking with my elevator hypothesis.
