I do not want to disturb the Grand Duke

[elena]

Hello! The house we just bought needs
a full paint job outside. Escrow won't
close until Feb.12, 2000 so we can't
paint until after the Duke changes. The
front door faces South (160 degrees) (and
we want to put on a new front door).
Should we wait a year to do this? Or does
a huge renovation like this supercede
the Duke rules because the whole house
is being "disturbed"?

Dear Elena,
If you have not stayed at the house yet, you can get the contractor to paint the entire house.
The `worse' effect is if one digs the ground at the Tai Sui's current location or knocks down the wall at the location.
This is the main concerned as compared to painting the wall.
I would go ahead to paint the entire house but (out of Chinese custom) avoid being at the location when the house/that sector has been painted.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
