Posted February 25, 200421 yr Dear Master Lee,Recently, I had my new house being renovated by a contractor. However, I discovered that the mirror(size: 3 by 6 feet)they had installed at my dinning area has a crack line (chipped off). The only way to repair is to replace the whole mirror. In order to do that, they need to break the mirror first. My question is, is it okay to break the mirror in my house as I heard from my colleague that it is inauspicious to do that at home?Thank you so much.
Posted February 25, 200421 yr Staff Dear Anon,Frankly, looks like, in-order to replace the mirror it has to be prised /cracked to reply.Actually, I feel that:1. Often, the first is based on "Common-sense approach".One reason why, it is not favourable to break the glass is because of splinters or shards of glass. Proper cleaning after the removal is OK.2. Any since the glass is already chipped, so long as you are not the one removing it, I feel that this is OK. Where possible, or a more practical approach is to let the workmen remove-it while you do not see the activity. 3. Here, you are not the one breaking up the glass.4. If you have not moved-in, yet, it is better! Do all this before your actual move-in date.Otherwise, frankly, if it has to be replaced, it has to be replaced.
