Swimming Pool at our backyard

[myfs_95144]

Greetings Mr. Lee,
Would placement of a swimming pool in the Southeast corner of our backyard be an auspicious placement? The pool that we are considering on building would be a diving pool (deep) approx. 40 feet across from the southeast end approx. 2/3 across the yard. it will be shaped almost like a boomerang(though not exactly) with no sharp corners - where the diving board side (which is the shorter portion of this pool) extends from the southeast around and out towards the west side of the yard - with the longer and shallow portion stopping about 2/3 across the yard towards the west side. The west side will be an open area with some trees and a dog run; with a covered patio located there. the plans include a built-in BBQ at the end of the covered patio - front of the BBQ would face the house - and the back side of the bbq would have a eating bar with stools facing towards the yard. From the breakfast eat-in area (just inside of the glass patio doors)you would see the front side of the BBQ at the end of this covered patio. Also, our front door faces the North, and as you walk in, directly across from the front door is a window, which is located on the south wall of the house, which would show a portion of the pool.
My questions are: is this a good design (shape) and pool placement? Is the BBQ in a good place? This house was built sometime in 1997 or 98 and our birthdates are 11-16-52, 11:55pm and 7-17-58, 10:19am with children 12-4-92, 1pm; and 8-3-97, 1pm. House number is 4217. Look forward to your reply. We need to approve plans SOONEST. Thank You!

Dear Anon,
A swimming pool at the back is still sustainable for a home.
I will be commenting just on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui.
1. Where possible, if it a boomerang shape, the boomerang, does not symbolically `cut' or slice into your home.
Where possible, just imagine one holding a side of a boomerang and throwing it out. The boomerang shape or the `external' edge should radiate outwards.
2. If this is the Southeast of a home, it is still acceptable to have a swimming pool. Avoid having the swimming pool located at the west or south-west of the home.
3. Regarding the BBQ pit, where possible, it should be at a corner furthest away from the home. (Sorry, without a sketch, it is difficult for me to visualise all the descriptive words).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master Cecil:
Your advice is that barbecue grill should be as far away from the house as possible. Does the direction matter?
For example, is West/SW/NW a good direction for a barbecue grill located? Thanks.
Regards,
Jen

Dear Jen,
Yes, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, the preferred locations are shown in the attachment.
In my opinion, it is still acceptable at West/SW/NW.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
