Dear Ben,

Thank you for your words of encouragements. I am glad that you enjoyed this site and most of all, find the information useful.

With regards to the interesting information you had provided on high vaulted/sloped ceiling:-

1. In my opinion, the higher the ceiling the better:)

2. Usually, based on my findings or FS audits done both locally and internationally : In fact, the bulk of users in this forum is from United States.

3. From my personal experience, vaulted ceilings especially those which used wooden cross beams even if they are `tightly packed' or tightly spaced out -- it seems to me of `minimum threat'.

4. Or that you are aware that to me this is "secondary" or `peanuts' to the greater picture of Feng Shui. In my opinion, it is of relatively no issue.

5. Even on the issue of slanted roofs. To be frank and honest - I have lots of clients locally who live in landed properties. And the most cost effective is slopping ceilings especially in the living room area where there are also high ceilings. I do not find any problems.

6. Even some of these millionaires also have been sleeping in bedrooms with slopping roofs.

7. Therefore, based on my personal dealings with many of such clients, I have not seen problems e.g. relating to finance, or otherwise as what we may have often read in various books about vaulted ceilings or slopping ceilings. Correct me if I am wrong.

8. I personally feel that we should put weightings and priorities on each item or `problem'.

9. I believe, sloping ceilings may in-fact be better because, rather than have false ceiling which may retain heat etc.. In my opinion, I feel that Qi flow is better with more open space area especially between the roof and the space below.

Thanks for sharing with all of us your personal observations. In fact, even for me, learning never stops. And it is great to have honest and constant feedback. Here, we try to understand and nothing is ever completely `right'.

Let's continue to apply good practices that can benefit everyone. And discard the `bad'.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
