Too many opening in the home

[moon88]

Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that chinese consider it a very inauspicious if a house has too many openings in the home in the form of holes in the walls for drainage etc. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. Yes, indeed, this is a popular belief that a home should not have too many `holes'.
2. Most importantly, the frontage of the house should have windows and main door in the right proportion ie. the windows should not be extremely large.
At the same time, if the main door has sliding glass panels, avoid opening all the panels.
Some houses have both sliding panels and main door. Avoid opening the sliding panels if you can.
3. Under commonsense approach, it is best to avoid having too many windows. This is to avoid, an unsecured home e.g. attractive to a `cat burgler' especially if the house is a corner house or there is a forest behind the house.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
