Dear Reyla,

1. It is commonly accepted fact that if one paints the entire ceiling of a home in: in `one-go', this is symbolic of `removing' the roof.

2. Here - when `any roof' is said to be removed from a house (in full); it is like changing the birth chart of a home.

3. If the above is done, we do not need to worry, to what extent it is considered as a `major renovation'.

4. But do take note that we should take note of the start of 2004 is BASED on LUNAR calendar and not the western calendar.

5. For example in 2004, 22 January is the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year.

6. If you renovate many times prior to this date; for example: if your renovations are done on or between 1 January 2004 to 21 January 2004, this duration still belongs to Period 6.

7. Of course, it is not advisable to start renovations immediately on 22 January 2004, since this is the first day of Chinese Lunar New Year.

8. It is good also to understand that the "lowest common denominator" or LCM in the Chinese system revolves around the Lunar calendar. If one looks at various `systems' adopted e.g. Pillars of Destiny (4 Pillars) etc... this is one of the rationale why - we must compare apples with apples. Contrast this to using the Hsia or Xia Li seasonal calendar used by many English speaking websites, today.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
