May knock walls between store and bedrm some years later. Will this change the house to period 8?
Being West Life and this being a east house, will there be any problem with a long term occupancy or a need to move out in some years time especially if compared with our familys' POD?
Do we also use the eight mansion on each of the different rooms as well. Eg. : to superimpose the eight mansion over room inself to ascertain the favourable bed and study position.

If one have a major renovation done on or after 22 January 2004 (the start of Lunar New Year 2004), then, this would change the birth chart of a house.
Is it advantages to switch to a new period or `new' birth chart of the house?
1. Birth chart of house under Period 7
(1984 to 2003)
For example a house with main door at S1 (165 degrees), the main door has a
#7 mountain with #7 water stars
(it is more advantages if the base is #1. But in this case, there is a #2 at the base). #2 can be cured with metal e.g. placing six coins.
2. But in Period 8, i.e. after 2004, Lunar New year, there is no longer an auspicious #7 with #7.
And if we do a major renovation, the main door has a new birth chart of
#9 mountain with #7 water
The preference is if one can, try to have the house under Period 7 and try to avoid hacking down walls in such a situation.
In the above example, if the current Period birth chart is more auspicious than that of period 8, it would be more advantages to try to keep the house to a period 7 chart.

In all Feng Shui, the most important consideration is the Shapes and Forms of the house.
If a house has good or excellent Shapes and Forms, even if one may not be as suitable to the house; one still have a comfortable `safety' zone to live `happily' in this house.
But if the Shapes and Forms is average or below average and if the interior of the house has leaks (some can be fixed/some cannot), coupled with the house not being suitable to the owner, then, this can become a serious issue.
Some leaks that can be `easily' fixed are e.g. the main door opens directly with a straight path of qi exiting out of the window e.g. in the living room.
Some leaks cannot be easily fixed are e.g. a toilet next to the main entrance etc...
Generally, a house with excellent Shapes and Forms coupled with it's ability to draw wealth at the expense of it's neighours can have lots of buffer to sustain good wealth.

If your house is no bigger internally 4,000 sq foot, it is relatively not effective -> feasible to divide each room into 8 sectors. However, one can do this but, in my opinion, not particuarly useful.
But if one's house is as big as e.g. the White house or a large mansion or castle, then, one may consider doing so.
