Day 3 of Reno:

Bad News:

Went up to my new home after work yesterday cos doing measurements for the window grills, was shock and upset to know that my kitchen and living room windows need to change as they are not in proper condition... Initially only intended to do grills, now needa change windows as well.... Meaning extra cost!! :bangwall:

Good News:

Jason and his team fast hand fast leg, yesterday all hacking already completed and debris cleared, wiring work also commenced and tiles arrived! Due to long holiday, tiling work will start next tues... :good:

Took some pics but due to evening time, its a bit dark to take pics using iphone...

Hi, Wenx

Wishing you a smooth reno journey!

For that Trigram chart, there is no such thing as "universal" direction or corners in the house. From the chart, it is no doubt that North, for example, is Water element, but not necessary is the Career sector.

In Feng shui, we must not confuse Direction & Location.

My recent post in my blog is about the resale flats which my sister almost exercise the purchase, but I stopped in time. So, if you want to know how we audit a house, see details in my blog.

Some Fengshui advice anyone?!

Got this chart from one of the forumer here, i just wanna know how accurate is this?

And the direction of this chart applies to the whole house or individual corner or the bedrooms??

My Princess's Room

Day8ofRenovation05-05-114.jpg

My only regrets is that this is a sliding window instead of a casement one and my FIL just reminded me that because this window is very small so sliding means i can only open half the window at 1 time and it may affect the airflow :~

But when i decided on a sliding window back then was to make it easy for my gal to close the window in case there's no one around to help her and i totally oversee the airflow part! :bangwall:

Anyway, its too late to change now so we gotta live with it, my mistake! :(

False Ceiling for Living Area

Day8ofRenovation05-05-117.jpg

Kitchen half height hollow block wall up! :good:

Day8ofRenovation05-05-115.jpg

- WIW partition wall

- City Gas piping (Kudos to My No.1 Contractor, he actually called up City Gas and make all the arrangement for me, i tot i need to call them myself dunno when but he coordinated everything for me without having me to worry at all! :wub: )

Will pop by tomorrow again to see the progress :sport-smiley-018:
