hello all - i am posting this question on behalf of a friend without net access.

I have searched for an answer to this question, but with no luck - hoping someone here may have an idea or some advice.

My friend is building a new house on the site of her old house. The old house has been her family home for over 20 years - her children were all raised there and still return with their own children now. This house was old, and my friend feels no sentiment towards it, despite these memories, as she is looking forward to a new home- but the new home is being built directly over the site of the old house, which is being demolished and the foundations burned.

Should anything be done to this site? Would the burning be a clearing enough? I would imagine some old feelings should be encouraged, but she also wants to move forward to a new 'home' despite it being on the site of the old home.

Thankyou to any ideas here.

Dear Lindy,

Frankly, it is a good idea to rebuild the home entirely.

Since your friend knows the history of the site; where there is no major history of bad qi other than she has no "feelings towards" the old home.

As mentioned earlier, it is always better to rebuild totally or at least if rebuild partially not to touch the frontage of the building.

I have produced a past link whereI told the story of how my grand pa, "chopped" off the head-of his home. No sooner had he done that and when work started on the new wing at the head-of-the house, he met with "calamity". The link is below:-http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-grandpa3.htm

Traditionally, if a geomancer has been engaged, a good date is chosen to do the inital start of piling or foundation work.

In addition, your friend can take the opportunity to built a "Feng Shui" friendly home.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
