Analogy of the well-built house

An example of an argument by analogy, from A Rulebook for Arguments, by Anthony Weston:

Beautiful and well-built houses must have "makers": intelligent designers and builders.
The world is like a beautiful and well-built house.
Therefore, the world also must have a "maker": an intelligent Designer and Builder, God (Weston, 22).

Here is David Hume's counterargument to that analogy (from Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion), paraphrased by Weston:

Suppose the world has a Creator like a house does. Now, when houses are not perfect, we know who to blame: the carpenters and masons who created them. But the world is also not wholly perfect. Therefore, it would seem to follow that the Creator of the world is not perfect either. But you would consider this conclusion absurd. The only way to avoid the absurdity, however, is to reject the supposition that leads to it. Therefore, the world does not have a Creator in the way a house does (Weston, 49).

In responding to this reduction to absurdity, let me point out that Hume is quick to conclude that the evidence of an imperfect world must lead to either of two conclusions:
1) The Creator is not perfect, or,
2) The world does not have a Creator in the way a house does.
While I wouldn't argue that God did create the world the way a builder creates a house, Hume reveals his limitations by failing to include at least one other possibility:
3) The Creator made a perfect world but allowed it to change to a state of imperfection (a state that we observe, at present).
This movement from order to disorder would also explain why a perfectly-built house could years later be seen as not perfect. Of course, Hume may have been operating under the assumption that perfection cannot deteriorate. I would think that could be possible only in a vacuum.
