Dear Anon,

1. For the extension, in order for it to be considered an " extension " of the home, it has to be an enclosed space. Not an open space or `shelter'.

2. It is usually not prudent to add an extension unless it is used to `cover' a missing corner. Avoid a protrusion at the wrong compass direction of the house.

If there is a missing corner, one can use instead, landscaping for a landed property.

3. From the many analysis done on houses, the centrepoint should usually be clear space. If not clear space, leaving it or not e.g. using the toilet at all is acceptable. (Not ideal but still better than `using' it).

The rationale is because the centrepoint is where all the intangible forces congregate and having one element at the location creates an imbalance.

For a toilet, the characteristics is financial problems or unable to hold on to money.

The centrepoint is where Yin and yang influences (auspicious and inauspicious congregate) thus it is best kept neutral or better, not used at all. From my experience, making it Yang does not really help and since it is green, don't spent unnecessarily money on it. The best situation is to keep it dry and not use it.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
