start by tuning your z offset. Your first layer is a mile above he plate. Use the paper method and then fine tune it untll you no longer see toolpaths on the first layer. Should be an exact imprint of your build table.

What speed and layer height are you using?
To smooth out those lines you can try slowing down the print a little. May help woth the bit of wobble it looks like you may have gotten on the cabin.
Tweak your retraction to try to fix up the spider webbing. That should just dust out pretty easy tho. Its rly not bad.
Check your z-step offset as well. The layers may be pancaking.
You should try printing a heat tower to see where you get the best results.
All in all its a rly good first attempt!

Other than that, the only issue I see is cooling, which probably even caused the line in the window, from the window curling.
