Are these considered beams?
Hi Cecil, Robert, Would like to seek your opinion on these pictures. Read some sites mention 'exposed' wooden beams as harmful. Are these considered beams since it's enclosed in concrete to form something like a lowered ceiling/enclave? Thanks! Regards.

Guan Yin Altar
Thanks for your advice, Mr Cecil. Between the two best positions recommended, we feel that B is the better of the two. However, position B is right in between 2 doorways (if including the service balcony beyond the kitchen, that makes 3). The path is very windy all the time, no matter how small the main door opening is. We are totally clueless as to how to keep flames (candles/"you deng") lighted in this path. Challenge 1: How can we remedy this? Is there a design for altar that 'blocks' the wind or should we get something to shield the candles or "you deng" and the spiral incense? Challenge 2: Due to the space constraints, may we place chairs against the same wall. Must we keep the wall clear of things? We were thinking of building a rackfor shoes and going-out stuff, behind the door on the same wall. Challenge 3: If we want to invite the 'Sky' and 'Earth' gods in too, will we be able to use the same position for 'Earth god'? Thanks!

Guan Yin Altar
Hi, We have an intention to welcome Guan Yin to our home in the near future. Please can you advise which is the best position for our home Guan Yin altar? (please see image for suggested A, B, C, D, E positions). My husband's kua is 4, my kua is 1. For the image of Guan Yin, is a portrait less respectful or in any way less than a figurine? Thank you. Regards, Sandy.

Help with windows bed placement?
We would like to place our bed with headboard facing the South East window wall. We have an idea (please see image) to: (A) use some chest of drawers to 'back' our headboard without having to sleep directly under windows or (B) have bed under window, headboard either lower than / covering part of windows. Both ideas, we will cover the window with wooden Venetian blinds with slats upwards. The windows are 3-panel, sliding, only the left-most panel is usually opened. Can the chests of drawers actually act as 'wall' or 'support'? Please advise A or B, or any other alternatives?
