On a similar note, i fixed the building nodes so that they dont show up with
all the other building nodes. (didn't work on version 9.3.2, but will for
the next)

Should i make a separate .osm file for all the 'basic buildings' and have
the 'emenity=buildings' as a separate?  Would that make it easier to work
with?

Cheers,
Sam
