In an article I wrote much earlier at http://www.3dglobe.com/fs/photo1.htm there is a picture (Picture 3) where this house has it's back at the junction of a major traffic light junction.

The owner went to the extent of erecting a high brick wall and he even placed two Chinese warrior statues and recently he even place a sign between the two Chinese warrior with the words " Fort Meyer " (Meyer refering to the side road to his house).

At the foot of the two statues, he placed a wide variety of cactus. On the top of the walls he placed at roughly 2 feet intervals Chinese lamp to represent `lighting' up the place.

Imagine, this person went to so much extent to protect his back yard.

I am not asking you to do so. But to point out the it is equally important to `secure' the back of the house. The easiest remedy is thus to place a barrier at the back of the house. This can include: bushes, shrubs, creepers, trees lined up in an orderly fashion. Alternatively a brick wall with alternate spaces for ventilation.

Should you arrange the bed, you have also to make sure that the bed is not directly facing the bedroom door. Between the two, if you can try to avoid placing the bed in direct view of the bedroom door. Alternatively, if you do so, you can place a side table and place a table lamp between the bed and the door or use a screen or a small linen cupboard between them.

No, you should first get hold of a layout plan. Next, determine the North to South alignment of the house. Find the centre of the house.

You should also correctly determine the direction of the main door. E.g. North 15 degrees. Once you do that and after completing the Flying Star chart and template; match the North to South alignment of the Flying Star chart and superimpose this on the North to South grid of the house.

The main entrance is the door coming in from the garage door. Yes it can be consiered a full screen. But may not necessay be good as it does not let in ch'i to circulate properly.

A screen should by right need not be so tall and the purpose of a `good' screen is to allow good ch'i to meander or circulate in the house. Your door is infact `stopping' ch'i to flow in properly.

You need to stand immediately at the entrance of your main door and look at the pointed roof top. Is it directly pointed towards the house i.e. infront of your main entrance. Just imagine shooting an arrow from your neighour's roof, does it seem to point at your entrance door? If no, then it is not a threat to your main entrance door.

Do the same for the windows. Does the pointed arrow point directly towards the window, if so, you may need some feng shui remedy. E.g. using `heavy' curtains etc..

The question to ask is how long do you spent your time there? If it is a bedroom e.g. we usually need at least 8 hours of sleep, yes, it is damaging. Therefore, to answer your question, you need to ask whether what is the duration spent there. if you spent little time there, then the effect is not that great.

It is still acceptable to spent time at the "Spook" area because there are more damaging intangible forces such as " death or disaster lines " to avoid.

No, you need not do one for every floor so long as each floor does not have a main entrance door.

There are many methods and techniques used. Currently there is a debate as to whether electrical items can be placed at inauspicious locations. One school of thought is that electrical items do have magnetic field and may alter the intangible force `field'. The other school of thought is that electrical items belong to the " Water element ". While another school of thought says no such thing as using electrical items to `negate' inauspicious location. For me, I still feel that electrical items can be used in a way to negate inauspicious location. One example is the use of a washing machine. As it rotates `violently' during spinning, you can place such items in say the back of the house to "shake off" the inauspicoius intangible force.

>5. Does having a bath room above the

Yes, in Feng Shui, it is best not to have the bathroom above the entrance. This is particularly true if the waste pipes are not covered up and when your gets walk in he/she sees the pipes. Worse still if it leaks it leaks on them and you!
