Mr Chong

Hello Updated with more pics? You mean those from the living? Ok, I need you to take the left and right of your corridor. Over the parapet, take a pic looking down from your front door. Move-in date: 22 Sep 08 Will advise the rest later after the pics. One more pic horizontally opposite from your front door corridor.

Hello No mon or max size. As long as can see red top and bottom from standing at corridor. You can place a fountain or a fish tank without fish (just decorate with water plants and pump). If that's the case, shift the bed more towards the wardrobe so that it is out of the way of the mbr door. For sleeping purpose, with head under window, try not to use curtain. Use rollor blinds instead. Since shifting in this manner, the bed will be more into the direction of the toilet door, put a red carpet/ rug outside the toilet door. Flush the bottom of the door to the rug using red tape. Yes, charcoal stove. Burn charcoal. After shift, you'll have space otherwise place at the entrance of the mbr. Cannot place at window edge. The ashes in red packet supose to place under the bed leg. Since your bed not shifted there, place it inside your wardrobe. Keep the stove as long as you could. No. All the things that I've mentioned above must be done within the time frame given. Your house is not good. That is why I spend so much time to check and write out. I'll leave it to you. You'll have to bear your own consequences if you can't adhere.

Yes, this is the plant. Then post again after your reno.

Hello Tomorrow 12.30pm, place a row of pebbles (as many as possible) at the inner edge of your main door. Place a high wooden shoe cabinet on the outside left of your main door or a pot of "luo han" plant shoulder height. From the main door, create a partition somewhere in the middle of the living. You can put things in the headboard storage but try not to open and close too often.

Hello Can you PM the DOB+time again?

Hello On 9 Aug 08 8.30am, go and place 2 plants outside your main door. On the left beside the stairs, use a big money plant. On the right, remove all the tiles and debris. Plant a dragon bone plant beside. It must be shorter than the money plant. You can ignore your neighbor's "fu". I'll check for you the rest another day.

Hello Move in on 12 Oct 08 at 6.15pm. During your reno, ask your designer to put a halogen downlight in front of your front door. On move in, place a red rug outside the front door,switch on the light. If there is no light, stick horizontally on the top of your door frame a red cloth or paper at the same time. Place a 2 ft fish tank at the dimension marking 1800 (chest ht and slightly towards in line shoe rack) Still during the same time, quickly move the bed in the mbr to the wall heading solid wall. Or if there already, place the mattress. Only you and your spouse do. Finish all the above before 7.30pm. Let the stove outside your main door burn from the time you move in till 7.30pm. Then stop the burning, and bring the stove to place in your mbr window corner below (windows kept close all the time). Collect the ashes in red packet at 8pm and keep it (don't exceed 8). Keep the stove in the kitchen. After this you can open the mbr windows. During your reno, you should get the designer to arrange your bed in the mbr to head the solid wall, should be NW/N. Suggest that you do a walkin wardrobe at the stretch of toilet entrance (entrance from mbr door entrance) Well, up to you and your designer. Place a stomach height chest drawer or display at the mbr inner entrance. The time may be a bit rush, so you probably got to prepare the necessary the day before.

Hello From your above floor plan, if A is 272 deg, North should be pointing in the direction of the "sofa". Pls confirm. Try to Pm me again birth details in the next few days.

hello ROM on 16 Dec 08 2.30pm

Hello Can you take a pic of the left and right side of your main door? Zoom in and take a pic of your opposite neighbor's "Fu". Are you staying below 5 floors or above? I need you to retake the readings again. Give an exact reading. Not a spread of 2 degrees. Do you have a good compass?

Hello ROM date: 3 Oct 08 9.00am Congrats!!

Hello For your reno/ dong tu, use 7 Sep 08 4.15pm

Hello Pls read the pinned post.

Hello Pls check with me again after you got the compass readings.

Hello I see. Good to have the stove out of the way of the beam. For your new design, can try to get your contractor to flush the beam to the end of the wall of the basin. As for the hollow part, ask him to space out some downlights. Its alright to have that beam at the balcony.

Hello Stand outside your main door, take a reading again. Yes, post it. Need to confirm your compass reading before further comments. If you prefer the bed to be at that location, try shift it out of the way of the beam if its near to the wall. If the bed has to be shifted too far out, try to get the contractor to design a thicker headboard or one that flush to the ceiling. when sleeping, do not expose to beams. Your stove is fixed there already? Use 26 Nov 09

Seems like the kitchen pic and the floor plan different. Stove and sink swap places?

Hello Depending on what dialect group you belong to, you can pick all or part of it. I think there's a list here already or in the other forum. Adding on to the above mentioned: 1) Salt to spread on floor or sprinkle on designated corners of the house. One method is to trap while the latter is to guard. 2) Incense to offer to your gods. They must be put in the right location and bring into the house with the right procedure. There's also a proper timing for differrent gods. If there are a few gods, then there are priorities. 3) You may pray to the earth god if you want to. If you don't have any, you can knock on the exterior right side of your main door five times and place the incense pot there. 4) Bring a pineapple. 4 pears. A plate of "fa chai", mussels. Can place together with the "nian Gao" or mandarin oranges. 5) Tie your chopsticks/fork&spoon witha red ribbon. If got brooms, wrap with plastic the frist day. Don't sweep. 6) Put a bowl of rice with on the kitchen table. 7) Keep the lights on and windows open for at least 2 hours. SHould have some relatives along to make some noise. 8) Prepare some coins. $1 the best. Throw as you step into the house in the direction of the "sheng qi". There are many more things to add if want. You can get more from the customs of your older family members or relatives. Or you can treat the above as optional.

Hello Yes, you can carry on reno during 7th month.

Hello You cannot anyhow choose. Also I think you have probably mixed up. People are particular about chinese ghost month which is the chinese 7th month. 初一 is on the 1st of Aug. After you get your key on the 5th of Aug, I've chosen 9th Aug for you to open the door. You can do reno also if you want but remember, this day is in the chinese 7th month. Understand? If you prefer not, then after the chinese 7th month, you do your reno. The English month is September. Don't mix up. You think about it and clarify with your family members first what all of you feel most comfortable.

Hello Floorplan the same doesn't really matter. If you need advice, read my pinned instructions. This is because the compass direction for every house is different. If door arrangements not good, then remedies recommended will also have to depend on your compass readings. I think I have one post regarding the same issue about fridge like yours. The recommendations are there.

Hello Doesn't matter.

Hello Both astrologically and psychologically better on 8 month. You bring me back to multiple choice days!! Where did you get 1 Sep. Or did I gave it to you? As I've said many times, when you feel good during any day, just go and open the door. I think 9 Aug 9am was given by me, so use it to do reno.

Hello Good. Now that you have taken some pics to clarify. If facing the main door, your reading is 72-80 deg, it is considered to be facing east. Not NE. Therefore it is good that you keep the windows having the pillars closed. Better still, in addition get v-kool to do the reflective type on your glass windows. If nothing urgent, don't use that window any more.

Hello A and B is correct. As for C, you can face the windows or the door. Just indicateb the direction. The side with the most windows also can mean the side of your house with the most sunlight comes in. If there isn't, doesn't matter. Such readings will be sufficient. Stand at the door and take some pics facing out. If you have a corridor, then take left and right. It would be good if you can take pics of the other sides of windows. No need. Any new furniture arrangements for your own can be discussed on the floorplan. Preferred As mentioned above will be sufficient.
