Stove position and bedroom 2 sliding door OK?

[myfs_150479]

Hello Cecil
I bought an old house facing E3 and plan to renovate it.
Since the renovation is more than 30% of the house, I'd consider it will be changed to Period 8 house?
Attached is the proposed floor plan. Please can you advise if you see any fengshui problems in the layout, particularly on the stove location and bedroom 2 sliding door?
Many thanks in advance!

For the other question, please refer to the attached, meter....

Thanks a lot Cecil.
The renovation is practically making the old house new. I hacked 2 main walls to move the rooms to the right, change the main door, move the toilets, replace all doors and windows, gate, new fence, jack up the roof to make ceiling higher but roof tiles remain, new floor tiles, new plaster ceiling, new wiring for the whole house. Will this change the period of the house or no?
Also, is there any problem if I renovate the house during Chenbeng period? When is the auspicious date to renovate during this time?
Personal guas for husband and wife are 2 earth and 7 metal.
Thanks again.

1. You asked: "Also, is there any problem if I renovate the house during Chenbeng period? When is the auspicious date to renovate during this time?"

1.1 Again, do you know that the question you had asked aboutthe taboos of Qing Ming (Chenbeng) period has also to do with Common Sense.
1.2 Although Qing Ming is an activity, we can still use this concept:-
The Three-Step-Approach
1.3 To try to piece-out the common sense of it.
2. For example, what is Qing Ming.
2.1. Qing Ming firstly falls on 4th April and it is suppose to be the day when a CHINESE remember their ancestor and pay homage to their grave or if cremated, the location that the urn is housed.
2.2. For the Chinese, why it is considered disrespectful for a Chinese to do MAJOR activity such as moving house ONE week before and ONE week after western date: 4th April.
2.3. Of course, some even go the extreme and say don't do such activities like: going on a holiday and moving house in the MONTH of April since Qing Ming falls on that day.
2.4. Para 2.2 above is based on Common Sense. Here, the argument is "You (CHINESE) should be paying your respects to the decendents and not move house during Qing Ming".
3. However, common sense says that in modern times, there is such thing as multi-tasking.
3.1. What is wrong to first visit an ancestor's grave say anytime one week prior to or even on 4th April and then afterwards, make plans to move home.
3.2. For example : visit ancestor's grave on 4th April. And from 5th April onwards, move house.
3.3. Here, one has already visited the grave. And common sense says that how to be disrespectful to the ancestor if we had done it?
4. Don't you think that this is common sense or cow sense?
5. In addition, Qing Ming is about or suppose to be going to the grave site, and when I was young, we always look forward to it. As the grave site would already be cleaned up by (paid gardeners who are paid yearly to look after the grave of the loved ones).
5.1 We used to "play" with coloured papers and insert all these between the grass growing on the top surface of the grave....
6. You wrote: "Personal guas for husband and wife are 2 earth and 7 metal."
Please note that your personal guas has in general no reference to Qing Ming. You can be any Gua or Kua number. Totally irrelevant!

Please do a search on the top left frame of this forum with the words "change to period 8".
There are already tons of information on the above.
More importantly:-
1. Go check out that there are two different schools of thought: one of which is the conservative thinking.
2. No living Geomancer can claim to be an expert in this field. As I had mentioned previously; this period change occurs only every 20 years. And even if a geomancer starts his/her career at an early age, the occurrence of period change is but only a few instances.
2.1. In addition, there are no major studies done on this. Perphaps, if any of the readers here, want to get a PHD or doctorate, may consider doing it on this subject.... "then you will be a Dr. specialising in not only Fung Sway but much higher than a Feng Shui MASTER in terms of your paper qualifications.
3. It is not too late! Why?
3.1. If you really want to know, do it yourself. How?
3.2. As I had mentioned in past forum messages; if you intend to stay in the home for "donkey" years orat least several years; you should PLOT a flying star chart with the OLD and NEW period.
4. Here, since or if you had stayed in or could research into the past, check which chart is better!
5. Honestly, as mentioned under para 2, in this "Change of Period thing" even me an "old man" of 52 years of age is no expert in this area. You do your maths.
6. Furthermore, make sure that your intention to fly is to a "better" period. And not regress or think that every Tom Dick and Harry home needs to change it's period. One of the sayings goes "if it AIN"T broken, Don't FIX IT!" applies.
