ngunadi 2 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Wow ... now I know why you keep going in-out of the kitchen entrance previously. It's really so small. Hacking the wall is a good move. The balcony size is similar as mine last time. It's "useless". Flushing in with the hall would be better. Now I feel I have know your house already ... haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ene1010.tan 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 Hi I have a question on the location of my stove vs my dining table. I tried to check on the website, nothing mentioned. Is it okay to have Stove and dining table placed adjacent? See my pic Did consult FSM before but he din mention about that. Now, I am kind of worried about this placing. Anyway to tackle this problem without any changes to my reno? Tks for the advise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ene1010.tan 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 Some people says that you should not have stoves on the same/near your dining table. It would mean to burn your "fan bowl" Is it true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I have never heard of this. Most of the time, fsms will concentrate on the what gua/palace/sector your stove is located depending on what FS technique the fsm is adopting. Some fsms also would not want to have kitchen or stove located at NW sector of the house or kitchen. However, I know most fsms will not recommend stove to be too near or directly oppo washing basin (taps) and also not directly oppo toilet door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything swee swee. Don't be pan-tongue. But one thing, sit near to "hot" source in long run would get "heaty" in lung, face tends to be "red" with short breath.

The other concern is whether it is feasible (walking space) if the dinner table is close to the stove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nowaday's kitchen is small, yet this cannot that cannot, might as well knock down the whole kitchen. Next time when you see those FSMs, remember to ask them: Can I use electric iron to iron my cloth, must face which direction. During CNY eve re-union dinner, must we all eat raw. How far is considered far for water & fire to be seperated. And how near is considered near to be avoided. Can I don't use gas stove/cooker, instead use all portable electric induction cooker. Can I move my induction cooker here & there. Dear FSM, can I visit your house to see how you arrange this and that. During bbq, do you always standby water source nearby, so to wash this & that and for "emergency" ? If yes, you are smart, if no you are looking trouble for yourself.

ene1010.tan 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 Thank you guys for your advise and Bepgof's funny example.. I guess I am thinking too much.. Yeah, there is ample space for us to walk thru. As for the heaty feel from the stove, we have plans to install blinds on the pelmet to prevent smoke from flowing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "red" face, "heaty" and short breath are true. Heat transfers to lung first, later to heart, in long run. My brother is a certified TCM, I read many of his books, I'm his trainee. If you have chance, ask those cooks who also stand near hot source for long time, how they "cure" their lung. They use their lung to "exchange" for a living !
