Can Use Same Light Point For Ceiling Fan?
bepgof replied to veer26's topic in Electronics & Electricals
Ceiling fans, say V56VK, KDK, 56 inch blade, only 190watt. Current=190/230 <1ampere. Lighting electrical loop, use either max 6A or 10, so long as the max curent, in the particular loop or zone, not exceed the max ampere, everything will be alright, regardless what device you connect to it. -
- "throat" is my invention term! yet to register patent, haha. FSMs said main door is the "mouth" where "chi" in & out. So the folyer (between hall & main door) is logically called "throat" - clever har ! - From revised plan, ex-owner is clever - altered the kitchen entrance door, near to main door & closed up the "original" entrance, so can place dinning table! As well as for natural light into the folyer area! - I supposed kitchen door to be sliding type, Our bro Ngunadi got a "swing" door - to me it is very "obstructing". - I wasn't saying rm 3 not good for ppl to stay in. It is the door's position, likely to cause "scare you, scare me" situation especially when the one inside and the one outside not "ready to expect" to meet each other, when at far distance at dim light condition, especially just wake up. - The plan posted's orientation is R=east, top=north? - Now the "throat" get shorten, and more "chi" exchange at folyer (kitchen in/out)area - may be can ask yr fsm is good or not, I also don't know. Kitchen busy is alway deemed as good, hall busy also good, rooms best to be quite, especially study room. Folyer busy?

Divider's function serves besides "visual blocking", "qi retaining/diverting", as well as "backing". The backing portion can be easily observed of a man sits on a chair, in front a table, back with a horizontal divider. Yr hall is extra-orderinally big, 22ftx24ft, after deducting the walls, may be around 20ft x 22 ft? What made master change to insist on the location, very likely got to do with "chi diverting/retaining".

Wow liao, you got a 7ft "throat", don't need any divider in hall to block anything lah. Entrance gives ppl a long and narrow feeling, passage way dim, unless kitchen wall got transparent glass. - Good layout for rm2 & mbr, but rm3's door. err - Kitchen look quite jammed, rm2 also relative small - one bed, one wardrobe, 1 dressing table - no space to walk liao - Rm3's door...err, face direct the passage way and in middle of hall err....not that nice. Any ppl inside & outside get "scared" when door open? - Look at windows... Should be rather "stuffy" whole yr round the whole unit, if without fan or aircon. - Got 3 baths, good Anyway, just my personal opinion, don't take it seriously.

Besides the folyer issue, can't spot any other fs "defect" from plan, noticed also the hall quite "big", 6600 by 7250mm = 22ft by 24ft. Since built, just leave it. The windchime in rm3? I also note the following (not much of a concern, just some knowledge): Wind flow always take its shortest path. - During "winter"( ~nov to mar), N & NE wind. Flow from hall's window throught door (if open) and kitchen. - Hall's window to MBR, if MBR door & window open - During NE wind, yr house will be the most "windy" period, if windows & doors open - S, SE winds june ~ aug, yr unit, most "stuffy" period - Seem yr kitchen short of nature light. -Morning sun, good. Might I know how wide is yr kitchen entrance, just curious, any beam(s) within kitchen?

Hi Merydith, care to post the floorplan? You FSM could be right also. My divider (blk 94D) was 2.5 ' wide, centre hollow, ever put son inside while young after he repeatedly asked me what was kept inside. MIL like to lean against the glass blocks while watching tv programmes. I sometimes slept next to it on floor, "outsiders" from door couldn't see. Anyway, only 5 units per floor, let them saw also never mind.

1. Army rule: can do all things, don't get caught. 2. HDB rule: cannot. 3. My suggestion: safe better than sorry hor, don't know which "sore eye" ppl will backfire at you.

Sorry, i forgot to mention one important principle in geomancy as to house: Imagine a U-shape, you are at the inner bottom of the U, facing the "open", left, right & back with "support" - this is an excellent 格局 (translated as "setup" ??). This 格局 is actually a reflection of chinese star constellation(4 symbols): Emperor sat within 北斗 cart, with stars surrounded Him: Front: The Vermillion Bird Left: The Azure Dragon Right: The White Tiger Back: The Black Tortoise Whether to a hall/room/tomb/building, etc this principle applies: L,R,B has "support", F- clear view. Furniture must be placed against the wall = got support! To ngunadi & htng: must understand chinese calendar's working principle first before knowing why can't do this & that in chinese 7th month. B4 understanding calendar must understand the motion of Sun, Earth & Moon,as well as the 10 stems & 12 branches and the 60-cycle stuff. Understanding chinese characters is a plus. I'll try before 10/8/10(new moon) to 24/8/10(full moon)

1. Yr unit's layout is quite similar to my 1st 5-rm (bedok north ave4, blk 94D), except my entrance has a "rectangular pillar" blocks abt 20% and I further built a divider, half-heigh(abt 4 ft tall, just below the window) exactly at "brown" - with hollow glass blocks (6"x6"), inside divider put a lamp, top of divider covered up (removable) with a plywood with veener sheeet, abt 5 ft protruding out from wall. I sold in 2007 for $450K. 2. Wolfet is correct that most fsms viewed main door as "chi" exchange point - where "chi" in/out the house via main door. 3. In ancient chinese army troop deployment, a General was always camped at a location, having an oveview of the whole troop, but the troop could not saw him. In modern office's FS setup follows this concept: A superior is always at :"I can see you, you cannot see me".This principle somehows fall the same to one of the 13 chapters of sun sze's art of war. 4. Your unit simply has no "folyer"! = no "thoat"! = everywhere after the entrance is "thoat", so anybody can access to your "internal organs" via the mouth(main door)easily! I tried to put it plain and imaginative. Those HDB units with common corridor all having this "problem". "once open door can see everything" is no good, why no good? To be more scientific and logical - as mentioned in 3 is more of a "psych" effect, personally I felt this way. "Chi" exchange theory is too deep, I don't understand well and not to mislead you, so don't elaborate here. 5. The "green" mark is actually more precisely to create a folyer or "thoat", than the "brown". Anyway,you still need to put a dinning table & TV console in the hall, right? 6. Things to note: windows-to-window, or window-to-door in NS facing is good for wind flow (Oct to Mar). If window-to-window, or window-to-door in NE is good for wind flow in (Mar to June) Fyi, I prefer coffee-O.

Can Use Same Light Point For Ceiling Fan?
bepgof replied to veer26's topic in Electronics & Electricals
Yoongf, you've said what I want to say. Not a good idea to mount ceiling "onto fasle ceiling board", sure give way after some wobbling. Anchor bolts are important! -
If guess correct, got present or not?

From floorplan, no problem to hack away the 2 walls which make up the study room, no pillar or beam at the centre. You are referring to the pillar near store room?. This pillar on left after entrance? It is well located ! It is the "eastern green dragon" in term of FS which has the "stabilising" function. The folyer is rather short with big "throat". Morning sun from 2300mm(10ft) windows, orientation correct?. You can't put TV set against wall of study room, because of rm 2 & rm 3 = sofa no backing. Sofa best to put against wall, but.....quite odd.... may be put up some wooden pillars as divider somewhere in the hall..... The 2500mm (7.6ft) may be can put a 1.6/1.8 meter long dinning table with a mirror on the wall, may need to extend the pillar slighly longer towards the hall. Put photo frame or pictures...

In this instance, Chang has been described as if he were GOD. Sorry, no intention to insult... or to teach... I'm dare to say as what I have studied as to TCM theories, when one's body is weak, sick, or having some kind of sickness, it is always associate with "too much YIN component" in the body, or has been exposing too long in a YIN-dorminat environment. Exactly how to counter-act, or curse the sickness still need many "asking", "observing", & "pulse measuring", to both patient and environment. "Ancient coins tossing" no doubt is one of the many methods of divinity (to know past & future)(till now, I still insist only GOD know), even the "dou min" method is mentioned in the old testament, to indicate if it was God's will. dou min= today's tossing the "sheng bay" = yes, or no kinds of answer. No details were given. Anyway, yr cousine could have told Chang of cousine's daughter's dod. Cos bazi analysis (4 pillars = year, month, day, time of dod)ables to tell if one's body is which of the 5 elements -dorminant.

Just joking for the spraying. No experience in dealing with haunted house, so far. But I was on the spot when cousine invited "spirit" possessed his body, when I was a little boy. Sensed nothing special abt the atmosphere. Anyway, was told by him to prevent "spirit" from possessing own body was to tilt the tip of the tongue upward, or biting a metal coin on mouth.

Water Seeps Out From Parquet Flooring - Help!
bepgof replied to leecheng_kong's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
Guess your room should be quite warm, high humidity and little air flow. Try switching on fan making air moves, and/or switch on aircon as well, if the room installed with one. -
What Is This Thing In My Bathroom?
bepgof replied to DarthRevan's topic in Home Maintenance & Repairs
The U or L-sharped kerb is just "overlay" on top of the tiolet flooring. Tiolet flooring already "water-proof". Issue is whether those gaps between kerb & floor are properly sealed. Experience shows that white/clear silicon used in sealing the glass/plastic, over time developed the "black, back" stuff, near impossible to clean, best use black colour silicon or some kind of black color sealant. We wash/ brush tiolet everyday, yet couldn't avoid these "black black" stuff. -

Look like this: Money(wealth) + turtle(long life) + golden color(How nice if pure gold) You can spray any live turtle to golden color, glue a golden coin on its back, and put another coin into its mouth....

Shd I Change My Air-con?
bepgof replied to musicbox's topic in Landed & Condo Private Properties Renovation Discussion
- If got buget, hack wall, change all - fcu, compressor, piping,etc. - 6 yr old - most likely insulation no good already, copper pipe joints at various points also corroded/loose - gas leakage etc. - FCU, compressor's piping compatibility is another issue. -
Must admit that it is quite headache. 1. Legally to cut off with him - actually, I think, as long as in Singapore the "couple" has no legal marriage title, already considered "cut off". 2. Just a suggestion here: Move house quitely without letting him know. Let me share my story: Many years back, my fil was one kind - clasiscal "die-hard" gambler, odd-job labourer, no cpf, take my wife (when she was ~ 2yr)'s gold to pawn away! Ah long kept visiting....they were staying in 1-room rented flat. MIL was the sole bread feeder. My wife even one time took a chopper from drawer wanted to chop him in a "hot" situation, luckily I was around... anyway, many similar events happened... In 1993 we got married, did not "invite" him & any single soul from his family side, church solomise, customary dinner followed. We shifted to our new 5-rm flat (years ago already planned for this day) with mil & wife's only younger sister, in Bedok North. My brothers sayed nearby, so just a call away they would arrive......I even asked my brothers to help shifting house, all done within an hour. I even accompied mil to gov's free legal service department to ask about the divoice...(SIL still yound ~ 6 yr old then) With my "background", I'm not afraid of my FIL. Somehow or rather, he found out our's whereabout and we talked.... Now he is living alone in a 1-room flat under his name & mil's name, in bedok north also. Situation improved along the years, he visited us, played with grandchildren, hardly any gambling now. He pays his own expenses... Grandchildren already 15 & 11 year old liao...
