Changing from Period 7 to 8

[myfs_82358]

Hi Master Cecil,
A question on changing Period 7 to Period 8 for a period 7 apartment. Can you recommend the simplest way of effecting the change without any major renovation? OR, there is no short-cut to it and renovation is absolutely necessary?
regards,

Dear Anon,
Ideally, the favoured change is to have a "major renovation".
For example, hacking away the entire flooring or some walls and/or change of main door, or windows is a sure way of `flying' to the new period.
Other short cuts but these are subject to opinions by various practitioners:
1. Have major "yang" activity in a home.
Here, what it means is that humanly, we have some yang activity such as celebration of birthdays or house warming where we invite lots of friends and relatives into the home.
But this alone, often may not on it's own guarantee that the house fly into the new period.
2. Activity under Para 1 with repainting the entire ceiling of the home
Here, if one does not live in a landed property, one cannot simply hack away the ceiling structure. In such a situation, one can take the chance of changing the home to period 8 by repainting the entire ceiling.
But again, it is safer to do Para 2 with (inclusive) of Para 1 (above)
3. What happens if one owns a landed property
For sure, if one fully removes the roof of this house, and do some renovations inside the home e.g. changing the living room tiles or change of main door, then, it is for sure that the house will fly to Period 8.
4. What happens if one removes (and replace) a few roof tiles and wash the tiles
Here, this is more of a symbolic nature. Replacing a few roof tiles plus cleaning or washing the entire roof tiles is a good bet to fly into the new period for the home.
And again have some "yang activity" as mentioned under Para 1 (above) - as an added, safe-guard to fly the home to new period.
5. For sure, if one does renovation equal or exceeding 33.3 precent of the entire layout of the home, then, it is considered as a major renovation. Even better if 50 percent of the entire floor area is undergoing renovations.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
