Hi Cecil,

I've been wanting to use a windchime here for the outside of my front door but I keep remembering your comments of getting a proper FS audit before using windchimes as they may "attract" spirits since they use similiar sounds during budhist funerals. So I attached 3 pictures of the post that slices through my front door so that I may get "proper" FS feedback :) The post is part of my house that supports a section the second floor. The front door faces South (fire). You'll also notice on one of the pictures that I have blue miniblinds(water) on the 2nd floor which is above the front door.

Questions:

1) Would I be able to properly use a windchime outside my front door to deflect the negative chi from the post without attracting spirits? Or should I use something else? If so, what?

2) Should I change the miniblinds to a different color since the blue(water) and South(Fire) direction clashes? If so, what would be an acceptable color?

3) I have a screen door that swings out as you can see from the picture. As I recall, doors that swing outwards is not good Feng Shui. Should I be concerned here?

4) My house is shaped as a rectangle with a cutout starting at the front door that extends to the front of the garage. You can see this in the picture. The front door faces S and the garage faces SW when I take the centerpoint measurement of the house. When I look at the picures on your site regarding "cutouts/indents" my house doesn't look like the shapes of the S or SW cutout but rather it looks exactly like the one described as SE. I'm confused as to how to interpret the cutout of my house. Can you help explain?

Other pertinent information: We use the garage as the main entrance. My main direction is SW and my wife is N, daughter is NE. I'm Strong Metal, my wife is Strong Earth and my daughter Strong Wood. My Flying star report says South direction is Good this year.
