Staff Cecil Lee Posted August 29, 2011 Staff Share Posted August 29, 2011 1. Honestly, as all of us know, for an apartment, there is no way we can relocate a toilet.2. In previous forum messages, I had mentioned that often it takes more than 3 or more MAJOR"leaks" to make the Feng Shui negative in a home or apartment.3. Thus, a toilet at the centre of the apartment is considered as just ONE MAJORleak.4. Therefore, in your case, if you are applying Feng Shui; then make sure that your apartment has no more than 2 or more MAJOR leaks. 5. The most sensible approach or rather common sense approach is to read up the following:-The Concept of Maximizing Marks Quote On 8/29/2011 1:54:37 PM, Anonymous wrote:HI there,,i came across your website onRio vista after i had recently boughtinto the project..any advise on how ican minimise the negative effect ofhaving the bathroom in the middle of thehouse ??thanksOn 7/31/2003 10:27:59 AM,Cecil Lee wrote:1.
