Why won't the Guide leave?

Question

I'm making personalised houses for my NPCs, but they have decided to move into the wrong rooms. I've destroyed all the furniture, back walls and regular walls, and they still insist that the single floating blocks are their houses! How do I stop them from staying there?

Answer

When I want to move an NPC to a new house, I do this:

1. Create the new house and make sure it is the ONLY place that has the comfort items required for a house (Bed, Light source, etc.)
2. Remove the bed, lights, chairs, etc. from the NPCs current house.
3. Get the NPC stuck in a hole so that a) the NPC cannot leave and b) lava cannot flow out (you can see where this is going :P )
4. Get a bucket of lava and dump it in the hole
5. The NPC will die and when they come back they should be in their new house

To get rid of the lava after that, you can turn it into obsidian.
