Now I cannot c the windows once I enter the house which I am happy . Bt the plm is the distance between main door to the partition wall (abt 7 feet) is quite dark cos the sunlight from the other side of the windows cannot shine in. Get wat I mean? Unless I open the main door...Is there anyting "auspicious" or "good" which I can put there to counter the "dark area"? Btw if I c the FS ruler, 7 feet is good rite? TIA for your help....OR do u need any floor plan to further advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIA for your help....OR do u need any floor plan to further advice? just fix a energy saving lightbulb 24x7 to the area. get your contractor to do it, should be less than $100.7ft or 8ft is for those who puts a altar facing maindoor. since you free thinker , then these measurements doesnt count. fs ruler is more for doors,altar table or house structure(if you rich enough to build one).

h4happy 1 Report post Posted September 27, 2007 Hi MACEI have this suggestion and I dont know can work or not.WHen open the main door, I can see the Living room windows, so means directly facing each other.Need to do a divider or a cabinet to block it.My questions:1) I wonder whether can have 3/4 of the divider as a glass surface??2) And thought of having my happy family photo taken and frame up and put it at the display shelves (one of the divider shelves) facing the main door?Plse advice.Best regards.HAPPY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he told me his FSM particularly ask him to place it there. Is there any special meaning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
