Losing Objects while building

Sorry to be asking for help all the time, but last night I was trying to move a house around on my property and it suddenly sunk into the ground and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to raise it. I also lost one that seemed to just vanish into the sky. I think this mostly happened because I lack skill with the viewer tool, but my concern is that the house that went underground will count as prims on my land. Does anyone have experience with this?

Also - one more questions, when prims are linked and you place them on your property, do the linked prims count as one prim? Or do you need to count every single prim in a link? If so, I won't have much furniture after building this house.

Appreciation to anyone that can help.

If you have the Debug menu on (Ctrl-Alt-d), you can make the land disappear by pressing Shift-Alt-5, then you can look below and hopefully retrieve your house.

Also, each prim in a linked object counts as an individual prim so a linked couch with 7 prims is still 7 prims.

ctrl+alt+D brings up a new menu item called debug. Goto Debug > Rendering > Types > Surface Patch the ground will be removed and you can see under it. You should see your object there and you can select it. Then just repeat the steps to turn the ground back on.
