material removal - beginner

[richasS6H6Q]

Basic but I am stuck. I want to have the vertical columns with the hole not extend to the bottom. So I need to cut from the inside bottom surface up to some point. Some how this eludes me...

Thanks

I am leaving my computer for several hours - but check back, I will show you how you can dramatically simplify your techniques.

Observe that there are unresolved issues highlighted in your Timeline. (Run the command Ctrl b or CMD b on Mac).

See the Attached file last sketch and feature.

I see what you did there with that sketch, in the center and then extrude/cut I imagine. Thank you. I am adapting someone else's design and I suspect the errors come from my modifications and how I did them...
